He used to do that many times but not of late

I think that we need both Bong to start and LR to either start or bring on to close the game down for a win. I said CM as a possible alternative to Stephens if it was felt he needed to be dropped and with Sidwell getting a knock our choice of DM is limited.

1 minute 51 minutes makes no difference he should still be able to sprint past a full back but that hasn't been evident in recent showings. Perhaps the injuries are beginning to catch up with him.

Just watching Lua Lua's short appearances since coming back from injury it looks like he has lost a little of his explosive pace which is a big part of his game.

As I said I think LR would adapt to it very easily as he is a natural defender who can attack and when playing right midfield drifts into the middle quite often.

It is but Stephens has looked jaded and not up to scratch in the last few games. The alternstive to LR, who I am sure could do the DM adequately is to bring in Sidwell who got a knock on Tuesday. The only other option is Crofts who has shown he is not up to it now.

I agree about Leeds and Bristol City but I feel that Bong being naturally left footed gives Murphy more space to play in and then bring on LR to close out the game if he doesnt start instead of Stephens, as I believe he should.

Do you not consider it better to bring in Bong to give us more chance to go for the win rather than nick a goal and hang on, as per Tuesday?

I agree with Radio Sussex, as my son who listened tells me, they said that we brought Bong on as Mc Leary was beating Liam easily.

That is part if the reason for putting LR in midfield because as was shown last night Bong is the best left back. Reading brought on McLeary and he gave LR a torrid time last night and perhaps should have started with him.

My thinking is that Stephens has had a few not so good games, although him with Kayal is the best central partnership jn thd division, so rest him. With Sidwell getting a knock last night who to replace him the choice is either Liam or Bruno with Liam at right back and I feel Liam could do...

I would go: Stockdale Bruno..Goldson..Dunk..Bong Knockhaert...Rosenior...Kayal...Murphy Baldock...Wilson. Subs: Maenpaa, Greer, Sidwell, Hemed, Lua Lua, Skalak, BZ or Stephens
