A specialist LB who will push NGW is needed. Tmac can play there but only in a back 4.
If we get another LB it will help balance the matchday squad, mentally help the squad knowing that cover is there and they know the player knows his position.

Someone would be getting a ridiculously good deal getting him for no loan fee and paying only 8-9k a week Do wonder if it’s worth us just taking a bit of a hit this year knowing he will still have value next if we loan him. But realise the less wages another team pay; the less players we can bring ...

So twitter reports that we have put a price on his head. Sale of 2.5m euros. Its not crazy money in real terms, but for the level of the teams after him its a marquee signing. Just to rub salt in the wounds, reported that he doesn't want to lose out on his £900,000 a year salary either. So that will...

Long makes space for others - Puscas made space for himself. Neither is the wrong way to lead the line.

Twitter rumours of Hutchinson as an early return and Sarr could be signed off in time. Both would be very useful bench options.

Ince states thst Ejaria "not looking good" but gets full prognosis tomorrow. So Loum in and Ejaria out. Still only ten fit senior outfield players. It is fairly worrying that we dont find out the extent of injuries until 4 days have passed. Seems a bit odd that its brushed away like a shr...

It goes to show how low ball the offers actually were that we decided a loan option was better financially than selling and permanently getting him off the books. Doubt there is a loan fee as I am not sure there is a lot of money in Serie B, if there is i would just prefer them to pay more % of his ...

Twitter chat about him joining on loan to Como in Serie B with an option to buy. This cannot be true. If we wouldn't sell for a suitable - fee surely we wouldn't loan out with no obligations to buy...

There could be a few clauses we want to put in as well. I would like to think we are wanting a decent sell on % as well. Lets not be hasty and just sell just because we are desperate. He still has a market value, the club have every right to try and get as much as possible, if it takes a few weeks l...

Full-back Imari Samuels has today joined Brighton & Hove Albion https://mobile.twitter.com/ReadingFC/status/1555478721569636357 Can't say no to a Prem move but a strange one when the view at the club was that he would move to get first team football - can't imagine he'll get near the first team...

Did Ince even say what was the player status on the additional 2 ? Starter / squad / bench warmer / academy? And didn't he say potentially 1 or 2 - so equally could mean potentially we have no new injuries. Mind games could be at play. However I wouldn't be surprised the 1 or 2 turns in to a definit...

Frustrating to read. But holding out for more for Puscas could generate a much better deal long term, than a quick fire sale just to get Sarr in - as long as we sell him that is....
I am more annoyed about the Moore comment as now it brings back up the ongoing hatred towards him due to his wages,

IN the grand scheme of things the number of new players who started isn't huge. But thats not what you look at. It is a team of strangers, not many of the starting line up played together in partnerships last season. Entire backline with the GK. New LB with Ejaria - a key understanding was not there...

All depends on who is injured. if its 2 of the academy lads then no real impact but if its 2 of the starting 11 we are in serious trouble on saturday.
Sarr and Loum even though they aren't eligible to play now, all it takes is receiving an email for them to be involved straight away.

Its all about how Cardiff play, Blackpool got a early goal and then sat back n picked us off for 80 minutes. Add in they started time wasting on the 60th minute. I cant see Cardiff sitting back, they got a point to prove and want to push for promotion. Concede another early goal and I can see it bei...

If you got a player on the bench only fit enough for 7 minutes he probably shouldn't be on the bench to start with.
The lack of subs was probably down to how every player was growing into the game and we were getting more and more momentum.

Its when a generic muscle strain turns into a 6 week lay off. Its a bit unacceptable that with all the scans and professional people available that after a few days the injury develops into something much worse than originally stated. Hutch was a stiff muscle then 48 hours later its turned into a gr...

I read the Hutchinson injury as they were preparing to travel up - most probably the night before and Ince had to make a call on who will replace him. Caused a few last minute tweaks to an unexperienced side rocked the boat and it showed. The performance was as fully expected. Several key positions ...

Is there a timeline for each players return?

I'd be tempted to start Azeez up top on his own over Puscas or Meite there. And I don’t think Puscas and Meite work well as a pair. In a 442 they would, Meite wins enough in the air for Puscas to gamble on the 2nd ball. Puscas can finish. meite has the work ethic to drop in and fill the gaps out of...
