Just seen holdens pre match interview. Pisano injured in training yesterday , nothing serious though. Wright , travelling round the world , knackered , gives flint a chance. Didn't hear the reason for pack giving way for brownhill. Personally I'd of gone for pack and brownhill. I know marlon isn't that mobile but would deliver a better ball on the counter attack imo. Anyone with a different view ? 

Amanda Holden said Pack was tactical tweak

The injury to Pisano is unfortunate, but what little I've seen of Vyner doesn't suggest he's about to let anyone down. Flint needs no motivating anyway, but imagine he'll be even more fired up than usual. I'm OK with that back line in the circumstances.

All three orthodox wingers are in the squad - COD, Leko & Eliasson - so plenty of pace if we're forced to chase the game late on, as seems likely. It could be worse.

Don't understand why you don't start with your best players. You could argue that both Eliasson and Leko offer the most potential than anyone playing today. 

Bring them to run at Reading when their defenders tire maybe?

Based on your extensive viewing of them both..?

Leko only met up with the other players yesterday. 

Please clarify what you base Eliasson being one of our best players on..?

Interesting...would of dropped Smith not Pack. COD...well needs to prove his international class :)

Diedhiou needs a goal today. All in all, not that inspiring of a team....but hey.....LJ will get all the plaudits if this team gets a win.

If Pack is dropped it's very odd. We should build the team around him as defensive central midfielder.

Only met the players yesterday, he's hardly building an atomic bomb. He's playing football. What difference does it make? Never effected me when I played. And hasn't he been studying our game DVDs so should know out pattern of play from them. 

I think Eliasson has the potential to be one of our best players. I have based that on watching him, erm, play football. 

The important bit highlighted.

O'Dowda is much more solid defensively, Eliasson has cost us 2 goals already because his defensive game needs work.

Disappointed Pack has been dropped. Been one of our most consistent players for me. 

Good to see Brownhill in the middle, but not been impressed by what I have seen of Smith or CoD so far this season. Hopefully not a case of LJ over thinking it, as he was prone to some times last season.

We will see soon enough. Fingers crossed!

So very little back it up then. Thought so.
