I'd rather have McAllister at right back than Reading at left back. If we start the season with Reading at left back, I genuinely fear the worst. It will be a long hard season.
I can't see Bullen playing Ecrepont, the time to do it was last season and he farmed him out on loan instead. That speaks volumes.
Strapp & Smith might well be pie in the sky but we do need 2 additions (left & right back).
