Harsh on Lansbury to be dropped after only one game having been out in the cold for months.

Is he trying to make a record for how many midfielders you can get on the bench ?

And not a right back in sight. We had two on the bench Saturday. At least he's got the first XI right for tonight with attacking options from the bench.

The most meaningless fixture since Arsenal May 2016. Those who show up are to be applauded, just hope the team do.

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.
Don't get why Hutton has been completely defted out.
There's a big onus on Hogan to make something happen upfront; not exactly punting for the early goal, it seems. Unless, someone has done some scouting of the Reading set-up and has identified something specific for Hogan to exploit.

Nah; not likely, I agree.
