Lewis cook only coming on in a game against a league one team in the cup with 15 mins to go. Made 8 changes and still couldn't get a start. Still think it's a good career move Lewis. I think not greedy boy.

A bit harsh can't blame the boy for wanting to play in the premiership and wonder how quick you would change jobs if you were doubling or tripling your wages it's not his fault he's not getting a game and he didn't ask to be transferred

Slough. Very harsh. Don't think he went primarily for the dosh

07 Jan 2017 19:29:44
Wex, he didn't exactly go kicking and screaming did he. Didn't know what all the fuss was about him anyway. Flattered to deceive, decision making was awful once he did beat a man. Overrated and not surprised he hasn't made the step up. For me, the championship is his level. Time will tell.

{Ed007's Note - Wasn't today Cook's first appearance since being injured back in October?}

Slough. Still think you are being harsh but I do follow your reasoning. It's a measure of how far we have progressed from the time when Cook Byram and Mowatt were to be the trio our team was going to be built around. There were times when each of them was our best player. And lots of times when Lewis was by far our best. Thankfully our future is looking rosier than theirs at the moment

Speedy, I think all three of them will come come eventually. But sadly none of them with us I fear. Although one of my lads went to school with Alex I don't know him at all, but I wish someone would get into his brain to find out why he has lost his way. After all the saying is form is temporary, class is permanent. It's just that a loss of form for 2 years is a very long time! 😕

Fair accessment speedy.

I think it's fair comment Slough. Not being funny speedy but if he didn't go for the money what did he go for? The prestigious honour of playing for Bournemouth? Sorry but I think He's been found out as not being as good as we or he thought he was . let's be frank he wouldn't make our team now.

08 Jan 2017 11:21:22
Well, when he went Lancaster, I think Bournemouth would have seemed a much more inviting prospect

08 Jan 2017 14:31:47
I take your point speedy but going to Bournemouth can never be a better option surely.

Don't call me Shirley

09 Jan 2017 13:05:33
i thought you liked being called Shirley? i know you have been called worse. I think some of this is a little harsh on Cook, good player, things not worked out well for him but has prem quality. anyone would go for prem club over middle championship club. we have imporved which has made us look better since he left and sadly he has not got a look in which he must of thought he would at that fee he went for.

i for one wish him well and hope to one day see him in an england shirt, i also don't think he went for money but to improve and test himself at better level.

God. How bad were reading?

07 Jan 2017 05:42:47
Guys predictions today please whoever is wrong gets a date with Mad Mick I'm going for 15 7 ;) ) No really going for 5 0

07 Jan 2017 06:09:21
I'll go with 2-0. If I win who do I get a date with then Douglas? Myself aka Pam (palm) and her five friends! MM

07 Jan 2017 07:08:21
You win me Mick. Don't worry, I'm not really a softie xx

07 Jan 2017 09:06:26
Ooooo softie. U sexy thing. I'm going 2-3. I know it's odd. But it's the fa cup
And for your sake bw. It's the most prestigious inhouse cup competition in the world. I'm southern and loved it. I think once a team gets demoted it becomes a priority to get promoted at all cost. But it's the fa cup maaannnn!

{Ed001's Note - very true Aus, I am in Spain and there is no coverage to speak of regarding the Prem, but the FA Cup is on normal TV here, full live matches. It is a hugely prestigious competition around the world.}

07 Jan 2017 09:14:08
Will go with 4-0. Can I rent MM out if I win. Am a bit hairy and thinking that shell suit will cause a lot of static.

07 Jan 2017 10:39:55
The match is on Monday- just saying!

07 Jan 2017 11:10:01
MM you refer to your palm do you not mean pam from bay watch she could be your date

07 Jan 2017 13:15:26
I'm in a long term relationship with Palm-ela hand-erson. No arguments and no headaches 👌

07 Jan 2017 13:33:08
Cambridge 0-3 Leeds

08 Jan 2017 12:48:38
Dougie, no I mean palm (as in my hand) . Lucas knows the score. MM
