Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Unfortunately a game where we were physically dominated. Referee didn’t do his job in addressing this which gave Blackpool the licence to exploit that. Felt we really struggled to deal with Ashley Fletcher’s physical presence too. I don’t think it called for the reaction it got though. Arguably the ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

The thing I like about this squad the most is the sheer hidden gems we’ve found. Pereira never been a no 1 before, gets his chance and shines. Mbengue’s progression has been outstanding. Bindon has continued to impress too. Elliott and Savage seem to finally have found their feet at this level after...

Re: Ovie Ejaria

Imagine it’s the club looking after his welfare and letting him train to get fit rather than having intent to sign him. Wish him all the best, however his future lies away from Reading.

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

From the Port Vale forum: I agree. I wish we had an owner who’d put some money in like Daii Yoonge. I don’t know what Reading fans were moaning about. That squad of theirs is chock full of players who earn much more than ours and they were still paying Andy Carroll 15k a week until about October. Of...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

One of their fans decided to use a homophobic slur to describe one Reading fan, they’re quite keen to tell us that it’s only a minority. Funny that. Given we recently had a 'fan' use a racist slur, I wouldn’t be too quick to tar them all with the same brush, because that shit works both ways. They ...

The foundation is already there. Just need to somehow get rid of our oxf*rd of an owner before the summer.

Re: Selles In

He’s shown a lot of loyalty to the club despite what’s been happening. I feel like we should at least not forget how much him (and Mark Bowen I suppose) have stood by us in the club’s darkest moment whatever happens next. To a point but Selles is only in a job because our owner doesn’t care less ab...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Shame it took an abandonment for them to express any sort of empathy. But this raises the still unclear question, they don’t have the power then who does? At the moment feels like only the UK government can intervene.

Re: Did the protest do what it intended?

Got national media attention with a number of high profile people within the game commenting on it. It worked an absolute treat.

Anyone who boo’ed needs to seriously consider whether they actually what the club to survive. I personally could not care less about how the season goes now.

Re: Rival Watch

Someone I know who follows Carlisle says they’re making a fair few signings already following their takeover. I hope us not being able to sign anyone isn’t going to bite us badly.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (h)

We’ve got heaps of big games coming up, but also a real chance to pull away from the drop zone. I think it’s too early to say a corner has been turned personally. The same problems still remain. It is at least looking better though, and the players have given themselves a real chance to stay up. I ...

Takes an immense level of mental strength collectively from the players to get ourselves out of a situation where we looked increasingly dead and buried to in with a chance of staying up, despite majority of the recent developments being anything but positive.

Re: Selles out

As much of a subpar manager Selles is, the club simply has far too many issues for them to be fixed by having someone else.

We have absolutely no chance of staying up for as long as the club does not have new owners.

Seen some people acting as if Ejaria will be some messiah, come into the team and save the season.

Genuinely would love to see the thought process of those individuals.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

We’d obviously become financially sound under Ashley, however Newcastle certainly were not exactly well run under him. Rangers fans weren’t particularly keen on him either. He also was the reason for why Coventry had all that chaos to do with their stadium recently. You don’t get hated wherever you’...
