Phillips, Colgan, vdK, Sheppard all very poor keepers from memory but the worst individual goalkeeping performance I can recall was Scott Howie's 45 minutes of shame away at Wycombe, so poor he was subbed off at HT. Wycombe scored 5 that day, and they played Cherokee war dance music after each goal...

We are signing Costel Pantilimon - ooc - this week 6 foot 8 keeper....played a few times for Man City.

The ex Man City guy...6 foot 8 inches. Pant etc etc. Free agent.

Surprised to see so much negativity. Ince has had no time to work on the problems. Openly said he can't even start on that until after this game. We've picked up some points, but all the same weaknesses have unsurprisingly been evident. So we get punished. We only had 3 defenders on the pitch and o...

Zip The amount of goals we concede is a disgrace.
We need a new defender in next week and Dann back.
We were lucky v Brum in midweek.

We are getting a keeper.

Will be a goalie. Hein back at Arsenal. Pantellimon (ex Man City) will join next week...you watch.

Cambridge 2 Reading 2 75/76. First confirmed promtion for FIFTY years.

I have the pictures of the players IN with the away fans after the game !! Must have been madness,

Great thread. Get in there Incey !! Looking forward to Tuesday now. We MIGHT just stay up !!!!

Are the team flying or going by coach ?

Preston is a fair trek. Coach will take for ever and will have to leave early today. Any flight is possibly cancelled.

Tough gig.

I can't see it being decided that quickly. I will admit that if we DO lose 2 or 3 more before a win, then yes, it will be quick and nasty and painful. I am just hoping and praying we beat Peterboro, then grab a couple of draws and maybe another win. Keep the hope going. My money is that this wretche...

I really hate Derby and I really hate Rooney. Come on Reading...last day of the season SEND THEM DOWN !!!!

I think most fans have decided to enjoy the day, rather than be involved in a tame demo.

Forbury Lion

windermereROYAL How do you win it?

Offically it's a random draw but my sources tell me they want to pick fans who look happy, anyone in fancy dress is guaranteed to win so my advice is go as a smurf or something

I do anyway

It has come to the point where I expect us to lose and have lost all hope of a win. I fully expect Coventry to turn us over on Saturday which will take the gloss off the celebration of achieving 150 years. But miracles do happen............ Totally agree with this. Would absolutely love to win this...

Snowflake Royal .................Arbuckle
Harpo, Zeppo, Groucho, Chico
Keaton, Chaplin, IT, Gummo
..............Laurell, Hardy

This is silly...we don't play two up front

Has the club ever been in a worse position ? The next two years offer little in the way of optimism. Well it has. 1970s we were skint. Robin Friday asked to come back but we had already spent the transfer money we received. Late 1980s were dire also....very very low crowds, Maxwell, and 40 minutes ...

Looks like Warnock is going to Barnsley. I watched the highlights of the Kidderminster game last night and it reminded me of what fight, a game plan, hard work and determination is all about. Qualities we sadly lack. Bad news for us. While we stick with a clown taking us down, if they get someone w...

So what exactly do administrators do? I would have said that when they go into a business they look at the outgoings and start immediately rationalising processes and making any cuts that they can and sell any available assets - which, to my mind, would include putting an entire playing squad up fo...
