I don't mind it. Kelly should be in and I assume Walker would be in for Max were he properly fit. Also means we get to see O'Hare as a super sub. Just hope we play with some confidence.

That team is fine, the two surprises are Shipley over Kelly (assuming a flat three in the middle) and McFadzean being dropped - seems bizzare to me. That’s zero experience or leadership in the team.

Still, I’m pleased we’re trying something different and I really really hope Biamou proves the many doubters wrong. He’s a great link player and he deserves a go. Walker isn’t sharp yet and hasn’t been convincing this year.

I don’t want to be on the anti-Shipley bandwagon, but how the fuck is he starting? He’s been mostly terrible this season

cc84cov · Oct 30, 2020

Let’s remember robins sees the players in training walkers been out I hope max takes his chance thank god I don’t have to watch Allen get bullied This evening just yet...monkey won’t be happy he’s been dropped again seems me and robins agree once again still waiting for Clive platt to answer if he would of dropped Allen lol another 1

JulianDarbyFTW · Oct 30, 2020

Perhaps McFadz has a slight knock and that's why Rose is in? Given he's not far off being player of the season so far I can't see any other reason to drop him.

SkyBlueDom26 · Oct 30, 2020

Was already nervous before the team was announced.....how the fuck can fadz be dropped

2-0 city being optimistic

You've got to imagine that Max is there to hold the ball up and win a few in the air from the panicked hoofs we'll be doing. And I don't blame Robins for the hoofball, by the way, I just think it's fear from the players. A positive result or two and I think we'll find our rhythm, but until then let's grind it out.

But Reading aren't a possession based side. They had only 37% at home to Rotherham and 34% at Blackburn. We should have a lot of the ball tonight.

I guess Baka is suffering for the last time he played and was fucking shite

Reading have lots of pace in their team

stay_up_skyblues · Oct 30, 2020

I suspect we’d have sore necks if we were watching in the stadium tonight based on that starting 11. Would not rule out Max notching a couple tonight. Could be a master stroke as Reading will have prepared to play our short passing/play out from the back side.

I do agree RE Kelly though. Has to be starting. Hopefully Shippers has his 1 in 3 decent game.

He is not at the level he wasn’t at league 1

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 30, 2020

Fadz can’t play this many games. He’s 33/34 now. Get that. At the same time Rose back in against Reading scares me.

Particularly for a guy who sabotaged his last game after 15 minutes

The fact it’s only 3 days after the last match and he’s not getting any younger. Also lack of pace in defence has been a massive issue so far this season.

Not getting the sudden hate of Rose he was immense last season.

Kieranp96 · Oct 30, 2020

Either winning or being done 5-0

I can see why Robins has put biamou in tbh

Yes lose 7 - 1 he scores our goal and no one will even notice we lost

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 30, 2020

Fuck me...we will be on ultra high definition on Sky

Happy_Martian · Oct 30, 2020

Reading Forum reporting that there will be 1 mins silence before the game for Remembrance Day. Would have thought that would be either next weekend or the following as the 11/11 is on a Wednesday.

I think we know what’s far more likely.

It might be but we now have a very green defence and in fact a pretty green XI

procdoc · Oct 30, 2020

That awful presenter is on again. She ain’t even fit

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 30, 2020

Paul Cook in the studio. Should have played longer for us. Was classy with that left foot. Good manager as well.

Johnnythespider · Oct 30, 2020

I think Biamou deserves a go, surprised fadz is out unless he has a knock, nobody expects anything other than a loss tonight so it's a good time to try something different. Go on Maxi lad

Baffled mate maybe he’s got a knock no other way

Here is your chance max good luck fella

Her inability to be fair in her analysis of both teams on show is painfully obvious. Going to wait till 7:45 before I turn over to the game.

Skybluefaz · Oct 30, 2020

No chance Biamou will score an overhead kick tonight

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 30, 2020

They’re loving Giles at the mo

fernandopartridge · Oct 30, 2020

Biamou is poor at holding the ball up and not great in the air

theferret · Oct 30, 2020

I get the impression some people are drooling at the prospect of Max failing tonight.

When he came on against Gillingham and scored it was excrutiating to watch people try to invent reasons to criticise him. They were furious.

Go on Max me old son, shut the fuckers up.

Perhaps but I'd almost rather a crock than a walking red card

Apart from that though lol

Age and fitness..

PVA · Oct 30, 2020

People call for changes, he makes changes, people lose their heads.

Mcfadz hasn't been dropped, he's being rotated. He's the oldest player in the squad.
