What are people guessing or wanting???
As it stands no signings.
Rooney - Slight Doubt
Waggy - Slightly Bigger Doubt
TL - Out
Bielik - Out
Holmes - Thigh (not sure if he's still feeling it or if it's okay not to be felt).
Are we gonna go for the 3 at the back?
Looks likely not sure we have the personnel on the wings to play it currently, but we'll see.
.....................Marshall...........................
.........TW........Evans......Clarke.............
Wisdom......................................Fozzy
....................Bird......Shinnie.................
..........................Holmes.........................
...................Marriott......Sibley...............
Wisdom n TW could be swapped. Buchanan outside chance of taking Fozzy's spot. Sibley dropped deeper and Whittaker starts alongside Marriott, instead of Holmes. Jason Knight could also fit in just ahead of Bird n Shinnie. Shinnie out for Rooney if Roo is fit. Holmes at a stretch for the right wing back spot. Roos also, after heroically destroying Barrow is a good shout in between the posts.
If we go four at the back:
..............................M'all/Roos......................
Wisdom............TW........Clarke........Fozzy...
...................Bird.............Evans....................
...MW...............Sibley.................Holmes......
........................Rooney/Marriott....................
If Rooney fit Marriot behind Roo and Sibley out wide for MW. Knight could also start out wide.
Tough one to call, lots of options no balanced side yet I'd say.
Rumour Mill XI
...................Marshall......................
.......TW.........Evans......Clarke.......
Byrne........Bird.....Shinnie.....Fozzy
...Jozwiak.........Marriott......Roberts..
Team for Reading?

Looking forward to seeing Nathan Byrne in action.
Seems like a well-grounded bloke

Another signing from Wigan, are they our feeder club? We may have signed good goal keepers in Carson and Marshall but remember they also sold us Gary Teale and Conor Sammon.

Byrne MTW and Marshall improve our defence from last year.
Bogle made a lot of mistakes at the back and I think Byrne is a better defender.
Marshall is better than what we currently have and MTW is the kind of ball playing CB that Cocu likes. He'll be comfortable in possession so I don't expect us to shoot ourselves in the foot as often as last season as we build from the back.
Goals look like the problem. Cocu knows that and he's said a couple of attacking players are coming in whether one is the much touted Pole remains to be seen.
It'll be too late for Saturday so with the injuries and Marriott misfiring I don't see us scoring but I don't see Reading scoring either, Scoreless draw for me, Never a bad result first game up.
