Who would you start up Front?

[dell boy]

Paynter and Austin must start after scoring four goals in the reserves last night, no reason why Wilson will/should be forced to start with Tope, he isn't delivering and Austin is and deserves to start, Paynter is a better player with a quick player alongside. Tope on the bench for me.

[Simon Pieman]

I think the Tranmere game is the perfect game to play Austen for longer if we want to give him a chance soon.

I'd actually start Revell and Paynter, tell Revell to chase everything down and he'll get brought off when he's knackered. Bring Austen on for 25 minutes when the gaps are beginning to emerge.

Tranmere play quite a tight game at home, it won't be easy to break them down.

Spoke to someone who went and they said they would not hesitate to start Billy and Austin up front friday.Also worth noting that although reading might not be great this reserve team had a fair amount of its nown youngsters so good result imo

I'm just worried that with our scoring record and the lovely optimistic nature of our football fans, we will destroy the lad if he doesn't score within the game of his first start.

There's too much pressure on him already, but throw him in at the deepend, miss a sitter or something, and he'll receive encouraging comments like "waste of space," "utterly useless," "woudn't look out of place in the bsp."

The reality is, if he doesn't have a blinding or very good debut, he'll be ruined by "constructive criticism" from our "fans".

Best quote of the day Barry spot on,to many ready to shoot the lad down if he dont perform.

[juddie]

what pressure is he under? He can't do any worse than anyone else? Surely that means there's no pressure?

Agree with that, but for a player coming from Austin's level, the BSP still represents a step up, and maybe his level.

Charlie Griffin (the Chippenham goal machine) was pretty similar, and he's settled down to be a useful player at that level, with an occasional year in L2.

(I hope I put 'Austen' in enough times to really fuck DV off. I even put 'Charley' to annoy him further)

It worked as well, cunt.

all the more reason to start him away from home.

My work here is done......

How very Austentatious.

[herthab]

How very Austentatious.

I think you'll find it should be Austintatious. DV will be most annoyed with you.

I feel like a right Charley.
