i can't believe some of the things reed said in the MOTD/SKY interviews ' we need to work on our fitness, we need to get fitter....the team were determined...we need to be more determined....it was my first chance to have a look at them'...... well WTF has he been doing for the last 5 months, the team and the manager were hardly inspiring on saturday and i fear the worst

If i knew saturday's exercise was purely for them to 'take stock', i wished they had told us before.
Because i wouldn't of spent £32 on it.
I suspect Dowie picked the team previously and Les did his work on the training ground and, if the rumours are true, would have been ignored even if he had ventured a view on team selection.
Therefore it WAS his first chance to look at them from a team selection viewpoint.
His comment about learning a lot about the players probably refers to the character of the players. It's one thing to look the bollocks in the relaxed surroundings of Sparrows Lane quite another to perform when under the cosh at the Madjeski.
