Er. it's his job to get them performing in training and then replicating that on the pitch on matchday. The problem is, it appears, that they can't replicate what they do in practice on match day. So what to do? If a manager in any other business can't get his staff to do what he wants them to do, ...

Anyone calling for McDermotts head, is an ill informed oxf*rd, with zero understanding of football, or management. We shouldn't even be in this league. You DO NOT penalise managers for over achievement in the previous period in business, football is no different. We are on target at present, there i...

Depressing - yes.

A nail in McDermotts coffin...after 12 games? Sensible.

On the up side - we CAN be sure that he hasn't asked Mark Lawrenson for that review!

As for the finishing position stats – they are just utterly irrelevant. 20th would be our third best finish EVER? Well whoop-de-fcuking-doo! I saw on another thread that you think we can finish 17th without really ‘competing’ in this league. You seriously underestimate the opposition. We couldn’t b...

Poyet: No thanks - Brighton have done nothing to set the world alight. And Brighton get 100,000,000 at every home game, so he'd never leave them. Di-Canio: Yes, what we need, is a hot headed arrogant little prick at the helm, who believes his own bullshit. Perfect match....for some of the morons he...

Lacoste You sound like a bit of a dick either way.

Thank you for your valuable opinion.

Well, durrr - I'm sure he won't come here but my post said "I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ARSENE WENGER HERE" - not that I'm boycotting the club if AZ doesn't bring him in immediately or whatever. He's about the only person who could replace McD, if it were needed, that I would approve of. So jog o...

Agreed. I'd like to see Wenger come here if we had to lose McD. I think he's gone as far as he can with Arsenal, but could do a fantastic job for us. I really hope that comment is made tongue in cheek, otherwise it is a pure and absolute contender for must ridiculous wish in the history of the worl...

So right now our best players are Tabb, who no one at the beginning of the season could figure out what he was still doing here, and Shorey, who was picked up for cover? Explains alot actually... :? Agree with this man time and time again. As soon as we signed Shorey it was pretty obvious he would ...

As for the debt, snore off. None of you got a mortgage? Got a Mortgage. Haven't ever tried to buy 7 houses and a luxury yacht that I can't afford with it though. Point completely and utterly invalid. You lot are like the benefit claimants, who still pay £150 a month for Sky TV, and then moan that t...

2. Why is the stock answer to people who may disagree with your point of view, "clear off and support Chelsea"? I've been supporting RFC for 30+ years and it's because I care about this team and want us to do well that I get passionate about things like the tactics we've employed and some...

NOBODY with ANY credibility, uses the term EPL or BPL. Reading play in the Premier League. Not the Premiership, not the "English Premiiiiiiiiere League" - the Premier League. Who the oxf*rd are u then, Shearer Hanson or Lineker ? oxf*rd ur wasted on here u should be a pundit on MOD I'm a ...

ManchesterRoyals
What a TIT

Wow - that sentence must have had your spell checker in overdrive.....

Clearly another moron here "We are not looking to compete in this league" Are you suggesting we should pack our bags and bugger off back to the championship. That's the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure surviving is competing, whereas not competing is getting relega...

Im keeping the faith in mcdermott and dont want him to go and I believe he will sort things out but i was giving my opinion on the question, and if we were to get a new manager (and im sure the board would have a plan unlike wolves who sacked a midtable mick mcarthy and had no plan), it would be se...

if we haven't won by the 11th of December Mcdermott has to go. no reason why anything will get better after the 11th since we will have played a lot of the teams around us. Fresh manager with fresh ideas can turn it around before its too late, ironically a bit like mcdermott did after Brendan :!: Y...

McDermott is completely inept AT THIS LEVEL as he's failed to, firstly understand the calibre of player required to compete in the EPL and secondly build upon the current system we have in place. This sentence basically sums up why you don't have a clue. Point 1: We are not looking to compete in th...
