    I think we should win here as long as AVB picks the right team. Brad has been confirmed in nets and I dont have a problem with that, Lloris has only had one training session so far apparently.

    I hope he picks a holding mid with Dembele playing deep also, Ade up top and Dempsey in behind.

    Im not a fan of Gallas but AVB seems to like him, is Dawson injured or just in the frame with AVB,

    There is no need for a holding midfielder against Reading, home or away. You're wasting your time at that. They play like wasp, all they do is attack. Holding mids will make that problem worse for us by starving us of the extra body needed to push them back rather than trying to hold their attacks off.

    Given the grief that AVB has been taking, I would expect him to play a holding midfielder and try to avoid defeat at all costs

    Supremely confident we will give Reading a damn good thrashing today. Three points already in the bag. Possibly four.

    What i want more than anything out of today is to see that the players are taking on board AVBs instructions and tactics. If that is apparent then I believe the result will follow.

    Bale and lennon need to perform in my opinion today. When they dont get going the whole team performance generally suffers

    Team: Brad Walker Gallas Verts Naughton Sandro Dembele Lennon Siggy Bale Defoe.

    Two questions, why no BAE? and why no Ade? :confused:

    Defoe can't play upfront on his own, does this guy have any bloody clue?????

    It makes no sense at all, Ade is a target man. To me this is a baffling team selection and I am not confident. Did he even want to sign Ade?????

    I can only assume Ade still isn't fully fit. I know AVB prefer's a quick forward, but Defoe has shown in the last few games that he isn't good enough to be a sole striker. Hopefully he'll prove us wrong, but i doubt it. Also, Benny must be injured, as he always plays (even if he plays bad).

    Hoping for a win here. I suppose Ade mustn't be fully fit, anyway Defoe has been playing well lately, even if he doesn't suit as a single striker.

    BAE must be injured. I don't get why Ade isn't on though.

    If he's not fully fit yet it might be best to bring him on after 60mins

    True. Anyway, what do we know! Defoe might have a stormer a score a couple and prove us all wrong!

    Very impressed so far. The team look hungry and are really up for it. Some sloppy passing in midfield but that's the only complaint so far. Naughton has done well enough too.

    Ahhh!! That would've been goal of the season had it gone in. Unreal from Defoe.

    I hope AVB sticks with Defoe, not a fan of Ade. Give him a run of games and he'll score on a regular basis.
