I'm going to be controversial.... 13:07 - Sep 26 with 994 views | Pizanti | I'd love a cup run in the league cup and a day out at Wembley/European football next year ...this is our only realistic chance of winning a trophy with the big boys playing weakened teams ...really hope Hughes goes for it tonight and plays the strongest 11. | | | | |

I'm going to be controversial.... on 13:17 - Sep 26 with 940 views | essextaxiboy | Warnock got absolutely slaughtered for playing a strong team when Ale got injured .All with the benefit of hindsight of course Do we really want to run that risk again on a wet pitch on a cold night . We already have lots of injuries and its still September . To lose Ale , Granero , Zamora even Dyer at the mo would be a disaster . Let the 2nd string give it a real go. | | | |

I'm going to be controversial.... on 13:34 - Sep 26 with 861 views | s1cRanger | As I am going to this game I would like to see us field a strong side, but I understand if there are some players that are kept off the pitch just in case. I expect Green will start for example. Personally I dont mind this as I think the squad is stong enough now to win either way. I would be happy to see Diakite, Green, Ephraim and Adel play tonight | | | | Login to get fewer ads
I'm going to be controversial.... on 13:35 - Sep 26 with 857 views | adhoc_qpr | I'd love a cup run and want Hughes to field a strongish team - but we'd be stupid to play Dyer (injury waiting to happen), Nelsen (played while sick vs Spurs) and Zamora (picked up a knock vs Spurs) with a game against West Ham coming up that isn't must win, but is very important! Play the guys who need match practice, players who have been on the bench and have something to prove and in defence the kids due to the injuries. | | | |
I'm going to be controversial.... on 14:30 - Sep 26 with 775 views | daveB | Warnock needed to beat MK Dons to have any chance of keeping his job and his team that day was still a weakened one with Taarabt left out, DJ up front, Helguson on the bench. I never understand the mass panic about injuries for a cup game but no chance they can get injure din training or in the league. I'd be more worried about a red card if previous Reading games are anything to go by when the refereeing comittee comes to town | | | |
I'm going to be controversial.... on 14:34 - Sep 26 with 768 views | Lewes_r | Im not greedy. I want premier League survival. dont care for the cups just yet.. In a few years when we are banging our heads against the iron door of the top end of the Prem (like Everton) Then yes.. lets try and get some silverware but right now we are in a very important phase of our history and key injuries chasing cups could put us in danger | |

Sound reasoning, agree with that. Priorities. | |

I'm going to be controversial.... on 14:42 - Sep 26 with 738 views | DieByYourSide | With the squad we have we should be comfortably backing ourselves to stay up, for that reason I'd love us to give the cups a real go. We must be far better than that Birmingham side that won the Carling Cup a few years ago. | |

I'm going to be controversial.... on 15:31 - Sep 26 with 698 views | HollowayRanger | same here if everyone was fit id play our first best 11 but with so many defenders injured and as being stupidly short of forward options i think its vital we protect nelsen zamorra and even the likes of hill onouha dyer | |

Yeah - would be good to have a good mix of youth and experience. Reading are looking to rest a few tonight, so I think we should be able to do the same and still win. With the likes of Adel, Mbia & Diakite potentially available I think we've got a much stronger squad than they have, so we should be able to cope. | | | |
I'm going to be controversial.... on 15:56 - Sep 26 with 663 views | HAYESBOY | I wouldnt play: Nelson Faurlin Granero Zamora Dyer I read somehwere that Tarbs and M'bia are available so would give them a run out. Possibly have M'bia with Diakite in as the middle 2. Green Harriman Hill Onouha Ehmer M'bia Diakite Mackie Tarbs Hoilett Cisse | |

I second that, assuming those players are fit to play. Reckon that should be strong enough to beat Reading. Maybe give Derry a start? The main aim should be to get through the evening without any more injuries. | | | |

He also got slaughtered for losing to Rochdale with a weakened team. | | | |
I'm going to be controversial.... on 16:24 - Sep 26 with 610 views | Bedford_R | Winning helps to breed confidence so I would be happy with a strong team tonight. A nice cup run would do the team the world of good. | |

That's what the Birmingham fans said! | | | |
I'm going to be controversial.... on 18:35 - Sep 26 with 513 views | THEBUSH | Don't suppose Reading will be playing their strongest team tonight, so maybe we can get away with resting our best players, Granero, Faurlin, Zamora etc.. | | | |
