Cringe-worthy.

 

[GT49er]

Mixed signals from the media as Radio Sussex is saying Stephens is injured whereas Naylor is saying that he's rested.

Wish he was neither!

So far the stats say we are playing a defensive possession game with success. http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/830370/Live.

Sounds like a right cracker this game.

Obviously figures based on tickets sold and not attendees.

Clicked on my usual 'moody stream' websites and no sign of the Reading - Albion game.
Southern Counties Radio it is...

 

[Guinness Boy]

On Radio Sussex as well. This is the most mental team selection since Sami isn't it?

Enlighten those of us who can't open the Twitter link.....

That will rather depend on the result, I suppose - but I find it hard to disagree with you at this stage.

They've listed their '8th sub' as "No.13 - Reading Fans".

oh shit, ffs stockdale

 

[The Wizard]

Arse nuts.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

5 changes? That's the most since Hughton took over. This is his 11th game, and in 8 of those games he has made 2 changes or less from the game before. Such sweeping changes, after a week since our last game, is a little surprising.

I get the feeling that CH is taking another look at the whole squad.
There have been several surprising changes.

CMS and Baldock against Leeds
Resting Ince was a shock, but it gave Holla an opportunity to play with Kayal.
Makes sense to have a look at JFC playing with the first string CM partnership.

Stockdale, are you for real?
