I really don't get the fixation on Steve Bould not being part of the match day team. His role covers all levels from the younger academy age groups through to the first team. He was not appointed to solely focus on the first team and match day coaching as that is Alou Diarra's role. Steve bould is often seen at home games, but you would need to reduce his non first team duties, if we expect him to also travel around the country as well.
Tough on Morrison, but I think Mbengue should start every game until he he gets to the 10 inevitable Yellows, but whoever starts with him Cook or Morrison.
I would go with Cook/Mbengue and look to give Morrison game time where possible.
Horses for courses, I fully backed Les and now I'm backing Christian Nourry. He's proving to be an astute business man, but Les had the club's best interest at heart and I don't get the need to compare, we finally seem to be a much better run club, but Les didn't get us relegated and fulfilled his remit.
15yr old daughter loves 31st October and wants to build up with some horror films. Thinking original Halloween and also want to use the opportunity to watch Alien and Aliens.
Any other suggestions?

I watched Nightmare on elm street with her elder sister a few years back and it didn't age well.
I don't I have ever seen a really successful team with multiple changes and rotation each game based on the opposition, especially in the Championship. The only time we seem to go on winning runs is due a settled team which semi picks itself. I do agree we will need to see some changes but no more the 2/3 per match.
Kolli and Morgan got more games last season out of necessity and I don't expect them to get near those numbers this season. But it's not like they have been replaced by old unsellable players. One of them might need to go out on loan to get games. Might be a season to early for Esq and the RND loan might become permanent. Chair, Dembele and Poku will be useful off the bench and might force their way back into the starting XI, depending on form/injuries. We desperately need a fit JCS, but this can't be relied on and Cook as back up worries me.
I hope the board see the original playing style, we were trying to adopt throughout the club, needs changing. I like the club having an identity and hiring coaches who support this. There will be times to play out from the back and control the game but its to easy for clubs to exploit us. Nourry did hint, although begrudgingly, the project could be adapted from the Plan A.
I don't think Mbengue needs any rest and it would just be delaying the inevitable as he is bound to pick up another yellow in the next 3 games to get a one match rest anyway.
I don't see why we would change anything for Sheff Wed, as all the players have had a week to recover.
Under Warbs, I remember one game at home we had the ball for about 3mins and played some lovely stuff, without creating anything. At the time we were full on 'Ole' for every touch.
Now I'm thinking, give me 3mins of yesterday's game. We looked much more attacking and the closing down was brilliant.
I think we have a great balance now and can keep possession if needed but the slow build up can do one!
Has anyone seen a replay? Sky Sports didn't seem to think it warranted inclusion in the highlights. There's a photo online which could photo shopped for all we know.
Until I see it again, in real time and then slow motion, it's hard to know how bad it was. The ref also seemed well placed and reassured Jimmy that no action was going to be needed.
Cult hero for me, Reading's player of the season last year....strong, quick and can play a bit as well. Lovely ball to Kone to set up the Burrell chance, which was well saved by the keeper.
Will be walking the yellow card tightrope all season, but overall I don't think it will be at Colback levels. He will miss some games, but hopefully through yellows rather than red's.
We have the first mythical 3 game week coming up, there will be lots of rotation and I am sure Dembele will play his part with possibly get a start.
Looking forward to seeing Chair back as well. The current side looks strong, but we need to look after them as well. I thought the Varanne sub was a good example.
I think the keeper was caught by his own defenders foot. Interesting to see it again, didn't think Burrell made any contact. I think there was a slight fowl a few seconds earlier by Burrell, which the ref let go.
I thought the ref got it spot on. 50/50 challenge, studs not raised the ball was there to be won. Ben Pearsons reaction was over the top and he tried to get Mbengue sent off. Fair play to the ref, he was close to the action and seemed to reassure Jimmy Dunne straight away of the outcome.
