Tresorection and the return of the Bash!!!

Good selection that - kudos to SP for giving two starts to McDermott and Bauress.

[Vincent'sCap]

Tresor is on the bench!

Just heard he's pulled out,he's got travel sickness

[JohnDearyMe]

Tresor warming up in a short sleeved top. Looks like he means business

Ideal time for him to showcase his skills to potential buyers

[Buxtonclaret]

Hate to say it but they sounded to have a good following.

Was no where near a full house. The home supporters went pretty quiet after Rovers scored, but yep. They sounded like they'd a few travelling.
Probably a mass 'Day Release' scheme.

[alwaysaclaret]

So, he's not refusing to play now?

Course he is, just fancies watching the game probably.

[Nonayforever]

Tresor must have run out of excuses.

[ClaretTony]

The one surprise for me with the team news annoucement was that of Trésor on the bench.

[dsr]

Are people really surprised at the mass changes? Right thing to do. Getting to round 5 of the FA cup is way down the pecking order in ambitions for this season.

Seriously people need to check their brains sometimes

You only have to look at Owen Coyle's season to see what might happen if you get to the 5th round of the cup. Is it really wrong to want to see a bit of football?

[BurnleyFC]

I like the look of that line up. A good mixture of youth and experience and a very strong forward line.

The bench is very strong, too.

[Dodobdobodobo]

Why did you expect him to be starting Tony?

[jedi_master]

Just swore by the toiletries in Tesco when I saw you know who on the bench. A reprieve, or a final goodbye?

I assume the answer is no, but is this being streamed anywhere?

Old lady walks past minding her own business.

[OakSmokedClaret]

I have an app that works on my phone. Never any issues

[Buxtonclaret]

Anyway.
Shocks abated.
Relentlessly onwards to the next round.
COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU CLARETS!!

No it certainly isn't. A cup run would be great for the club, and for the "fringe" players who get a bit of competitive football.

That squad just shows how weak our central midfield is if Brownhill moves on and Cullen gets injured

[AmbleClaret]

Anyone know if Reading's team is a strong line up ? Savages' lad starting.

[fatboy47]

Wouldnt all teams have a weak midfield if all their best players left??

What app is that?

Absolutely.

[chekhov]

No it certainly isn't. A cup run would be great for the club, and for the "fringe" players who get a bit of competitive football.

Plus it’s worth a bit of money, £125,000 if we win today.

[DCWat]

Sorry just seen your other post, but that just links to script… via iPhone.

[jojomk1]

In our case it is only two cm's out, leaving only Laurent

[Dodobdobodobo]

Looks like SP is carrying a knock with the way he’s just walked down the steps off the pitch

[jedi_master]

Interested to see what this Tyler Bindon is like for Reading, very highly rated. Big 19 year old centre back, already got 70+ appearances and playing for the New Zealand national team.

[davetheclaret25]

Looks like SP is carrying a knock with the way he’s just walked down the steps off the pitch

Might explain why he's not on the bench... chill out.

[ClaretTony]

Why did you expect him to be starting Tony?

Ha ha - I'd heard nothing to suggest he might be in the squad

[Tribesmen]

Afternoon all "from wait for it " a sunny day here in Galway , about 5 above what can i say .
So Attack attack attack or what baby , what a front 3 just forget about midfield give it to the lads up front .
This should be fun today i hope .

[jojomk1]

Looks like SP is carrying a knock with the way he’s just walked down the steps off the pitch

Maybe from giving Tresor a kick up the backside and telling him to get out there

[Dodobdobodobo]

Ha ha - I'd heard nothing to suggest he might be in the squad

Ok

[Dodobdobodobo]

Might explain why he's not on the bench... chill out.

Eh???

[Boss Hogg]

Who is in central midfield ? Looks too weak to me. Not heard of some of these players.

[fidelcastro]

Eh???

Don't worry about it. Muchacho hasn't got a clue.

[ClaretTony]

Who is in central midfield ? Looks too weak to me. Not heard of some of these players.

Bauress & McDermott - both have previously made substitute appearances in League Cup games.

[matttheclaret]

We have Hannibal too but suspended today

[ClaretTony]

MOD: If you don't stop trying to disrupt this board then you will be stopped.

I'm all for giving a youngsters a go but they could do with a bit of experience/presence alongside them. Don't think throwing two raw young lads together in the middle of the park is the best way to go about it.

[Tackler49]

Is this team a surprise,- no not at all the championship is the priority if we win good if we don’t win so what, to win today and get L/pool in the next round and get a morale damaging defeat that could ruin the whole season. But who knows with Magic Mike on the bench anything could happen. What a joke! sell him and ease the wage bill. UTC

[Boss Hogg]

Bauress & McDermott - both have previously made substitute appearances in League Cup games.

I remember McDermot who did well but can’t remember Bauress. Probably an age thing.

[AlargeClaret]

The team looks horrific ( as in this XI never played together or anything like it ) 2 kids in midfield is almost bizzare . Reading at home and in good form too . Though our back line is loaded with experience and our ancient front line knows where the net is .

[gawthorpe_view]

Foster shoots over from Sonne Cross.

[CoolClaret]

I prefer Foster coming off the left; for me that is his best position that maximises his abilities.

[Buxtonclaret]

Settled pretty well.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Not a fan of the young midfield as it is akin to sacking off the competition, Laurent as a minimum could have played if not on hols, not played as much as some. Of course I like to see young lads do well as much as anybody and I hope they do.

Won’t get started on Tresor, I expect 20 minutes then sold.

By the way, BBC Berkshire has decent commentary.

[Buxtonclaret]

Luca shoots!
Saved

[boatshed bill]

I've got Radio Lancashire... with Glen Little.

[Pearcey]

Koleosho could tear these apart.

[Buxtonclaret]

Superb crossfire ball from J. Bauress.

Looks odd watching Jay playing so deep!
It's working though.
