" CRAIG BELLAMY NOT STARTING TONIGHT "

A huge risk, some might say a calculated one.

I think we have a decent chance of beating Reading without Reading but obv our chances will be a lot less.

IF we beat reading I do think we NEED bellers on that big wembley pitch

Never a truer word spoken Chief we cant beat Reading without Reading Spot on

i reckon he will start

cant risk heaton and bellamy or may have to use two quick ssubs

I posted yesterday that imo he would not start tonight.

We drew with Reading away 1-1 without both Beller and Super Kev,time for the squad to used to its max

Really? Shit I missed 2 goals again! Gotta stop going for those early pints!

Anyway,

This could all be leaks into confusing Reading into their tactics? Maybe Bellers might be starting yet - as the deadline for naming the team is a long way off isn't it? The hope might be that this gets back to the Reading coaches and manager to send their tactics into another arrangement?

Wishful thinking huh? but maybe just maybe - Bellamy might start yet?

before you say - I know 1-1 in the league!

I think we're being sucked into thinking that we have to have Bellamy. Don't let "group think" undermine your own intelligence. We don't need him to roll over this lot.
They are there for the taking

Parkin will get the winner

Def Not in First 11.

DJ wants to keep him for Wembley lol.

Decision has been taken. Hopefully, the gamble works.

Perhaps Ray and Annis are both right.

Let's be fair, it's a MASSIVE gamble not to start with Bellamy if he can play.

Bellamy had a tiny tear in his hamstring on Saturday after his scan. If he plays on it there is a good chance he will pop it as soon as he accelerates. So we are likely to see him for about 2 minutes before he gets taken off injured, would then miss all of today's game anyway and then be out for Wembley if we got there.

Jones wants Bellamy and Heaton out on that pitch tonight. He's wanted Heaton playing every game for weeks, but the medical staff are telling him he can't. Whether he's involved tonight I'm unsure, but Jones wants him on the pitch and has been putting pressure on again to try and get this.

Jones is not saving Bellamy for Wembley, he's just not playing a player who is likely to rip apart his hamstring, just to appease certain fans.
