Very attacking bench

Makes more sense than the defensive one. Gun can step up into middlefield, with Morrison dropping into centreback and Khumalo pushing to full back. Obita could drop into the hole or go wings. Two different style strikers.

Don't think Howard is a sub really. He's a starter or nothing. He isn't going to come on and change a game big time. Tabb, could drop into full back and have Gun switch into midfield or CB, I guess, but I think it's better to have a real defender on the bench and not have to rely on two midfielders in defence if there's a problem.

Miles Addison injured in the warm up for Barnsley. Been replaced and they have another on the bench. I swear this sort of thing counted as a substitution if the team sheet was officially 'in'?

I gave up trying and am listening to the commentary on BBC Radio Berkshire. I guess you can do that in Austria?

No - I can listen to Radio Berks except football matches - which are exclusive to Reading Player, which is broken. Grrr.

buzzby Barnsley score!!


Not a problem. We are still a well run club and we have filled the black hole.

In other news, Mackail-Smith scores another for Brighton. Strange how a bit of money makes a difference.

From the BBC

Barnsley

• Yet to win in any competition this season, and lost the last three under Keith Hill.

• Won only one of their last nine Championship games.

• Drawn six of their last eight away league games, and without a win in 11, since the 2-0 victorious trip to Doncaster on 25 January.
