I'd prefer Doyle as our Striker option ahead of those we have been linked with. Looks like the lad can do the lot.

Really not excited about the strikers linked, would rather we gave Butterworth a chance.

You are allowed to say that but it is complete nonsense. JRC is our best player imo. Our form falls away when he is missing.

Invested heavily in both the £3 million a year for the thriving academy, and the brilliant support this season in the transfer market.

They made a mistake but stuck around to make things right. And supported is in the transfer market in a time of great trouble. I applaud the Venkys.

Elliot goes missing and doesn't put himself about. I would almost pick Dolan ahead of him

Bennet was poor and Pike excellent. No favour should he given to any player not cutting the mustard. I would like to see JRC in midfield.

The new city lad will be cover for Lenihan mostly. Pike should make the squad at some point. Yes, the Buckley thing is daft. He has great vision but still looks like a boy; Pike is a man.

Am not a fan of it. You'll be mentioning Last of the Summer Wine next. Lol!

That is a poor decision by the manager imo.

He has played right back more than midfield; angered folk like me that could see Nyambe was infinitely better.

With JRC and Pike I don't doubt we will be fine.

I'm well aware of where Benno was playing ineffectively tonight, while pike was class. I wasn't being critical of you, hopefully you will have the intellectual capacity to work that out Pike should be RB cover in the first team imo. Benno should not be in the squad.

You.diidn't. But you mentioned Benno and he plays right back often; Pikes position.

Yeah, and you'd have Pike ahead of him at RB also.

Pike was absolutely brilliant from start to finish imo.

Pike looked a real quality player tonight imo. Vale and McBride very decent too.

100 Percent! Pike looks like he would give Nyambe a run for his money. He has everything; tackles, can head, pass, is quick, and is energetic.

No, Tony sees the young city defender as right sided CB cover and RB cover.

Armstrong would not be as big a loss for us. He is not as clinical.

I think if Joao gets injured they might not be the same. I imagine they have been pretty lucky with injuries. Don't think many team have a better 22 than us. They have been a lot more than 8 points ahead of us.

BB works like a Trojan; so too Gallagher who gets much abuse. Elliot has been disappointing for quite some time imo after a brilliant start. I would start Dolan ahead of him next game.

Spot on sir..Reading are the team I think may be most vulnerable. I don't see why we can't make the top 6.

Made 3 excellent tackles. Cool in possession, and some very decent passes. MOM imo. He really has helped out defence.

We were close to scoring twice in the first three minutes. We clearly stated really well.
