I think both Fulham and Reading are massively overrated

Reading more so - they were a rubbish team who should never have got anywhere near Wembley.

Fulham are decent on their day and play nice football but small squad and as a side they are a bit lightweight (same could be said for us in midfield I suppose if we don't play Tettey). They only have a couple of players over 6 foot so I hope we can get some good set piece positions for the new German lads at the back to attack. Watkins looks quite decent in the air as well.

I think these teams were able to take advantage of us and Villa massively underperforming last season. Had we not done so they would not be getting some of the hype they have had. Been reading their messageboards and Fulham fans are so cocky about this season I would absolutely love it if we do them on Saturday.

Shef Wednesday are also nothing special at all.

More concerned about Villa, Wolves and Derby this season.
