Sylla to start and begin the ascent to hero as his chant suggests he will become.

FFS how many injuries is this squad racking up? - Bent still injured? - Yeh whatever.
These guys should be busting a gut to get in the team to keep us, up however the modern footballer is more intent on picking up ridiculous amounts of money for doing feck all

Probably needs to pop to tesco Saturday afternoon to buy his veg ?

Funny how Shay Given missed a game recently and went to Ireland and nothing was said yet Bent missed a game, went shopping and still gets stick.

Perhaps he wasn't injured / had permission?

People wrongly described the Reading home game as the most important game of the season however this match IS the most important. I was hoping that we wouldnt be where we are when this game came to be but there we are. Nothing less than a win will do and we will beat Reading tomorrow.

Is this the same Lowton who's probably paid @ £30k a week and can't even take a corner?

Absolute tosser, he should shut the f*ck up and stay on the practice ground at BH.
Marvellous words of encouragement for one of our young players. Well done!

As a point of interest for tomorrow - we have scored 999 Premier goals - would be nice if we were on 1002 at 16:50 tomorrow afternoon.

I too would move Clark to midfield.

I've always thought he's miles better there in any case, but we could use a bit of bolstering there, esp if Delph is out.

I suppose it would be an ideal opportunity to move Clark into midfiield as i think he's better there as well. The kid could do with a break though.
and I think Clark is better in midfield as I have often posted. Only trouble is the manager thinks hes a centre half. And that gents is where he will be playing tommorrow.

The only problem with that is, Reading will probably have scored 4 :)

As a point of interest how many many have we conceded since football began?

Stuart Taylor to start in goal for them, remember him? Hopefully he shows some of the woeful form he displayed (briefly) for us.

Knowing our luck with former players he will probably score from a corner !

Hasn't Lambert publicly stated that he doesn't see Clark as a midfielder? Therefore despite everyone predicting it, I feel that's not gonna happen. Probably Herd instead?
