See, I don't necessarily agree with that. We were the better team, and deserved to win by a bigger margin than we did IMO. First half was crap, but before looking at Rasiak's theatrical fall you have to look at your defender who had his arms around him and deliberately prevented Rasiak from making ...

I was stunned at how poor Burnley were to be honest; i thought McCann at left back was shocking, so its no surprise to read it was his first game for ages. and McCann is not a left back but a left sided midfielder (and a very good one at that...). This season's regular LB Jordan had a hamstring and...

Well I guess the marginally better team won on the day but that was about all. We looked a bit disjointed to begin with, not surprising since McCann had to play his first game for months at left back when we lost our natural left backs and the main strikeforce being out also saw Thompson have his fi...

Is Laws likely to look at those who didn't play last week at Man Utd giving him a chance to look at the rest of his squad in first team action? Yeah possibly but there was a mid-week reserve game at Hull where the aforementioned Paterson/McCann/Rodriguez got full run outs after returning from injur...

Dirk Gently I wonder how many people will turn up for a 3 o'clock kick-off. I know some who've not yet noticed the changed time.

At least parking will be easy for them...

Since then our play away from home, or 'form' if you define it as how we are playing (I would define it this way) has been much better than the results suggest - ie playing well, creating chances BUT not taking them. This is the thing though. You don't win games on the amount of chances you have, a...

I want the wife to go down

Not only that, but didn't you use Cup success to haul yourselves away from trouble and into the playoffs last season? We won't be tickling mid-table let alone the top 6, but like you back then, we are looking for inspiration from anywhere we can get it at the moment. I guess you are looking for sim...

No, I think we need games. This year seems very short on games compared with last year's 61 (sorry about the 59th and 60th), and I think that the core of the team needs to be playing.

In the centre back position Bikey was slowly becoming great for us. No nonsense, good distribution. The Coyle played him in midfield and to some degree that worked, but to me he looked lost, happy on the ball but had no idea where to go once he had played it. Coming back to defend from midfield he a...

Well you did beat Liverpool. And we've only won away at MKDons this season I guess. We have been playing well though, even in games that we have lost, just not taking chances.

Bikey's still in Africa I think... ?

Hello again Reading chaps. Not a great season for you so far is it and I hope you turn it around soon, so I suggest you concentrate on the League from now on, you really don't need the distraction of a continuing Cup run! Our team... Not sure what team we will play on Saturday but hopefully we will ...

2-3 away win.... whilst we may be concentrating on the Premier League it is not the case that we have that many games on, so a full strength side and an away win.

Supporting Burnley for the final, however think the Blades, will win, 2-0/ 3-1, inless you raise your game. You have to offer more of an attackiong threat. Sheffield united will score unlike us, as they are playigng with confidence and flair, and for this reason I think they will win comfortably, a...

Thanks for the various comments. Hands off Coyle!!! Anyway, I doubt he'd want to drop a division...

No problem. I apologise for giving some people the L loser sign over the divide and for waving goodbye to the fans that left after our second goal...

Sheff Utd should be fearing us after we've beaten them twice already this year, and they know that we can play a lot better than that. One thing to add, I thought making the triple substitution after our first goal was ludicrous. It sent out signals of panic and you duly obliged, when a more level h...

Hello... I said I'd be back come win or lose. I think you were unlucky over the two legs, certainly looked the better team last night up to the goals, and by half time I was beginning to think we would be playing our last game of the season. Thought Riley the ref was poor, made the play too stop sta...
