Sully should start. Otherwise a small amount of the pre-season excitement I have gathered will be lost in the knowledge that we have a liability in goal who could potentially leave us very soon & therefore put in a poor performance tomorrow!

Considering Elliot is a Charlton fan I imagine he would give his best, whatever the situation.
Elliott hasn't said he wants to leave and Powell has stated that he was only covering his back if a new contract could not be agreed with Elliott, which i think it wise. Also Powell said Elliott chose 44, for reasons we can only speculate but do not know unless Elliott comes out and specifically says why. Personally I am a fan of Sullivan and prefer his approach i have to admit, however if Elliott is given the nod i have no problems with that either. He will give his all. He has weaknesses granted, but so does Sullivan and i am sure so does Hamer. If they didn't they would be playing in the top flight.
A mate of mine is a Reading supporter and he rates Hamer very highly, as do others at the club. The problem is that Reading have an absolute embarrassment of riches in that position and Hamer was fourth choice behind Federici, McCarthy and Anderson ( the Danish Under 21 keeper ). He is also is in the last year of his contract and really now does need regular first team football ( although he's accrued a lot of experience on loan ).
Reading between the lines, it looks like negotiations between the club and Rob Elliot have stalled or effectively broken down and that Powell and the board have taken a view. It's a shame if that's the case but the uncertainty can't be allowed to fester and there can be no room for sentiment.
How many clean sheets do you think he'll keep this season?
With the defence we have, more clean sheets will be kept than last season. Don't forget he came in after all the other players so he hasn't had as much time to get to know the boys. It showed on Monday night because I reckon their goal was down to communication.

More to do with the weds player that took him out imo
Ridiculous. The team needed a rollicking and Hamer was the one who did it. I for one am glad that he had the guts to try and take control and organise his defence after a mistake. Showed a bit of mental strength. Or would you rather he keep shtum because he made a mistake?

Yes, keep your south shut, when you have made a schoolboy error.

Robbie could easily start and I expect he will, seeing as he's been first choice in pre-season. Great to have such cover.
Gutted for Ben and not a good way to start for the Club but that's what a squad is for.

Saying that I still think Sullivan will start.
Any news on the Titanic?
Watching his interview on player you'd be excused for thinking we'd signed Manuel Almunia, dead ringer just sounds a bit different!
