Reading Philippe Clements pre match interviews ahead of the FA Cup clash at home today vs Walsall it sounds likely he will pick a strong squad for the game.  He has repeatedly spoken about the importance of developing a winning culture in the club, and not prioritising the Championship over the FA Caup

“It's not that the FA Cup has less importance than the Championship, although we know the situation that we are in,” he said. “I want to create a culture of winners also, and not people who think, ‘Okay, this game is important, and that game is less important’.

"That would be the worst thing that can happen with a group of players from my side. I don't believe in that so the FA Cup is important and the same importance as the Championship.

“And in the past, enough teams from the Championship reached semi finals or even finals or even won the trophy. I'm not speaking about that now, because we need to clearly raise our levels, but we need to be ambitious in every competition that we are in.

"That's the culture I want to create in this club and in this dressing room. So same importance for me this weekend as the Championship.”
