[Beach Hut]

Just a winning team is required

 

[Munchkin]

Have a funny feeling Knockheart maybe left out on Tuesday, not been at his best lately and worried CH might see it as a chance to bring Bong back in.

--------------------- Stockdale ---------------------
Bruno -------- Goldson -- Dunk --------- Bong
Rosenior ----- Kayal -- Stephens ---- Murphy
------------- Baldock -------- Hemed -------------

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Lua Lua in for Knockaert.

 

[BensGrandad]

Lua Lua in for Knockaert.

If it was down to Lua Lua performance when he came on against Sheff Wed he wouldnt get a look in again this season.

Why would we ever need 3 strikers on the bench ?

I can see Liam playing in that position against the likes of Burnley, Derby and Boro, but not Reading.

It's a must win game, and I would only make the one, obvious choice from last Tuesday, Kayal for Knockheart.

Luna lua was our best player this season until he got injured , short memory you have

Needs time to get into games, Knockeart is going through a bad patch Lua Lua deserves a chance to do something by starting a game.

He was talking about the Sheff W game not August - Nov

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I'd go with the starting line up vs Wednesday with Kayal for Sidwell.

Kayal for Sidwell, not Knocky

 

[Dolph Ins]

I don't think CH will put Bong on to start. Suspect he will introduce him back from the bench

Spot on.

Correct! Not sure why I wrote Knockheart!

Kayal for Sidwell the only change.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Stockdale

Bruno
Goldson
Dunk
Rosenior

Knockaert
Kayal
Stephens
Murphy

Baldock
Hemed

Subs: Maenpaa, Greer, Bong, LuaLua, Sidwell, Wilson, Zamora

Last chance for Knockaert in the starting 11 though I think, way too quiet recently.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

So that when Baldock hasn't scored, we have plenty of options how to change it.

Team for me;

Stockdale
Rosenior Goldson Dunk Bong
Murphy Stephens Kayal LuaLua
Hemed Wilson​

Subs
Maenpaa, Bruno, Greer, Sidwell, Towell, Knockaert, Zamora

My logic is that with pretty much everyone back fit again, it's worth getting Bong some minutes and while we have the option to rest Bruno I think we should take it. He hasn't looked jaded to me in the last few games but he's dipped in standard a bit, I would keep Rosenior in the side and re-unite Bong and LuaLua which caused so much damage at the start of the season. Personally, I don't rate LuaLua very highly as a player but what he does do is draw fouls, which adds value to the team, as well hitting the odd decent cross/shot. It was a bit of a toss up between Towell and Skalak for the bench, but I think Towell offers a goal threat from midfield and if Hughton's speaking highly of his performances in training, I suspect he might be close to the squad. Knockers has been off his game recently whereas Murphy has been on his so I'd stick with the man in form.
