Feels like hes desperately trying to find some form players to go into the playoffs with some momentum

Strange team selection, lets hope it works. Not confident that Taylor and Hogan are a good idea, but at least there is no sign of the useless loan signings.

Feels like Bruce just keeps picking different players at different times, hoping to stumble across something that might work.

Indeed. Maybe he's got Barry Fry as his personal Guru?  :o

I'm not exactly a fan of his but sometimes he's damned if does and damned if he doesn't. Gets stick for not changing things around, gets stick when he does.

I can see why he has put Elmo and Taylor back in: they are required as attacking outlets since AA and RS cannot cross with their outside foot.

Taylor? Attacking outlet?

Have we signed a different one then?
my logic was that at least we’ve got a left footer playing on the left, Dave. Grasping at straws, perhaps.

4 changes on Saturday and another 5 tonight suggests he hasn't got a Scooby Doo as to his best 11.

Can't be accused of not rotating tonight anyway. Side looks well balanced to be honest.

Or alternatively he’s looking at four games in ten days and is trying to keep it fresh.

For those who aren't in The Midlands & wish to suffer the radio commentary this evening, it's on Talkshite 2. I'd imagine bloody Danter will be the cheapo option doing the commentary. Which is nice.  ::)

To be fair, it looks like we've started quite well.

Villa winger Robert Snodgrass has faced Reading eight times in the Football League but is yet to register a goal or assist against the Royals.

FFS. I've paid my money, but the website still wants me to subscribe before showing me the sodding game.

I thought when our form turned up a while back it was all down to SBs appointment of Steve Agnew. Now we are having a dip it's down to SB ????
