We need to show patience today, With the Gameweek’s action delayed until the traditional three o’clock kick-off, we’ve perhaps too long to ponder our pre-deadline actions before they take effect. All the more reason to make those moves carefully. With just under 90 minutes to go before the bell tolls, our Saturday Surgery chatroom is now open so you can share you thinking in real-time.

The weekend’s first Dugout Discussion will follow close to three o’clock and we’re just getting our coat and scarf for this morning’s preamble.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      If you want him in for Guthrie then you probably need to lose Berbatov.
      Berbatov - Pog is a possibility, either way you have Reading dead wood on the bench....
