Disagree about da laet. He has done ok and his attacking abilities keep him in.

Good luck - hope you win the Championship. Nigel Pearson is one of my favourite all-time Wednesday players, and am glad he has done well as a manager.

I was surprised with the way Reading approached that match - like they were happy to settle for a point right from the off. They won't get into the playoffs that way.
Anyway, I have to disagree about De Laet - I thought he had a good game and I've always liked the way he can play passing football in tight spaces. We miss him when he's not there. Morgan did have a bad one though, while Stringer & Young were right about Hammond when they said the game was going a bit quick for him. Nugent ran his socks off for little personal gain though and I wouldn't replace him in a hurry. King for Hammond and Knockaert for Dyer on Saturday, then get out there to beat QPR.

Delaet is quick and makes good runs going forward, but when tested defensively he struggles. I remember Paterson at Forest mullered him at the city ground, mark my words if he plays regularly in the Prem he will get slaughtered. He's young and still has a lot to learn
Don't forget he gets a lot of protection from those in front of him at the moment in a team that enjoys plenty of possession. That won't be the case next season and his defensive qualities will be far more in demand than his attacking threat.
I think we should keep developing him but he's not a first choice for me next season
