I agree Noel Hunt should be in the next squad ahead of Long, and Keogh for that matter. He has looked like one of Reading's strongest players in the games where he has come on in the previous few games, and has some shot on him.
Long isn't good enough from what I've seen of him at Reading to merit a place in the squad. He does not score goals when given a start by Coppell, and doesn't have the physical strength of Noel Hunt.
Kevin doyle was unfortunately muck for the last 6 months of last season, and for the first couple of games of this season, which meant that there wasn't any premiership managers that really ear marked him as a major summer signing. Anyway, better he plays and scores week in week out for Reading, than be sitting on the bench for Villa or Everton.
By the way I know hat tricks are hat tricks, but from the highlights I've seen from last night, I've never seen such catastrophic defending in professional football as what the Sheffield Wed. lads were at last night. It was atrocious:eek:
