How is invading the pitch/throwing tennis balls/wearing black going to convince Dai to accept £5 million less or for a buyer to pay £5 million more as surely that's all they are interested in rather that what the fans do? The only real chance the club has is to get enough political attention we get...
Posh forum is very fair: "Reading were better than most of the abject shite we've played the last few weeks." "To be fair to Reading, they deserved a point, even though Posh were so wasteful in front of goal." "A terrific game of enjoyable football. Both sides deserved a poi...
The one fly in the ointment (well a lot of flies) is that the big clubs will be all over us very soon, if not already Both yesterday's CBs, Ehib, Vickers, Savage (for starters) look like future stars. It's all very well to say "Pin them down to long-term contracts" but, presumably, that i...
If we get that Hutchinson for the rest of the year we'll be in a very good place. Having him and Button as old heads to calm down the kids who all have a massive clanger in them (expected given their experience) will be important. Credit goes to Bowen being allowed to implement a plan. While Selles ...
From the little I've seen of Hunt's U21s they also play with a big press - this was an extremely good result but it does show the benefits of the first team playing in a very similar style to the youth team; you're not asking them to play against much harder opposition and totally change styles, jus...
https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/%E2%9A%BD%EF%B8%8F-reading-vs-coventry-city-match-thread-saturday-10th-dec.146071/page-13 Better team but didn’t create much at all. Draw would have probably been fair. Reading are one of the worse teams in the division which makes it even more annoying. Tiny ...
Ince has done a phenomenal job. And should there not be a similar shout out for Bowen and Carey (he is still here isn’t he, haven’t heard any mention of him in recent months?)? To turn this team around without being able to spend a penny on fees is amazing. Bowen's the key at the moment, he's done ...
538's mathematics has Huddersfield, Hull & Blackpool going whilst we finish a glorious 16th. How does maths show us dropping from 3rd to 16th ? That needs us to get a fair bit worse and a lot of teams to improve quite a lot. Presumably their maths shows WBA finishing above us ? The way they wor...
It was nice to see a Reading team that are tough barstewards to break down and run at - although Holmes is likely to give away quite a few pens this season playing like that, albeit neither of their shouts were particularly strong yesterday. First run of 3 consecutive clean sheets for 18 months is a...
Bournemouth aren't losing to good teams either, 4 losses on the trot, 3 of them to Derby, Wednesday, Luton. Seems like all of the top four all have a tough fixture in the next few 8 days: Brentford v Bristol Swansea v Norwich Boro v Brentford Stoke v Reading Reading v Brentford Two wins for us in th...
Millwall really should have won this game. Hahahah Bournemouth, Sheff Weds with 4 shots on target, none from Bournemouth. Looks like a proper meltdown is starting.
