If he doesn't go down like he's been watching Young then the ref can't send him off! Felt the ref was consistent with the cards he gave, if a bit on the strict side. Common sense lost out all round today. The complete lack of presence up front does nothing for us, Roberts is the only one of our stri...

I'd be happy to have Roberts back, even half fit!

Useless funt! Fffffing red card! Non scoring striker, who offers nothing to build up play! e's like a useless version of Heskey! didn't notice a wasted ball by him today, a bit brainless to get sent off but he had a few decent touches and he wasn`t our worse player Has the length of a game changed ...

Useless funt! Fffffing red card! Non scoring striker, who offers nothing to build up play! e's like a useless version of Heskey! I liked the part where you in no way contributed anything further to the discussion. Nothing else to say! I posted at the start of the summer we'd be smart to be rid of h...

Kebe???????

You're still living in a pre-Drenthe world.

Anything is possible!

'Real facts' my hairy white arris!

Sharp down as 2 appearances for Southampton when they were in the Prem with one goal (I assume in the cup?)

Noel Hunt has 6 goals for Reading while they were in the Prem in 24 appearances (Again I assume that sme were in the cup!)

Team game - we're bottom of the league! They're all sh!t

So what has Nigel learnt... Players: Keep Mariappa and HRK Ditch Pog, Ledge, Jobi, Guthrie, Shorey and Jem ASAP Jury still out on Taylor, Kelly and Pearce Subs were ok! Effort (for the first time in the day) from Hunt, Akpan looked good in front of the defence and GMc wasn't on for long enough. Tact...

bump

Us???? Patronising plastic fans who watch Reading on MoTD and think they can tell me what our problems are. You'd be an idiot not to realise what the issues are, whether you watch every game or 5 minutes on MoTD. Ledge shouldn't have been picked, the team has run out of umph at completely the wrong ...

A couple of weeks since Michael Appleton last got a new job....

Not great tactics, weak transfer windows and too much faith in not very good players!

Devastated for the man but the right move for the club!

Rafa Benitez anyone?

Shocked but not surprised! The last few games have been similar to the end of the SSC era - poor tactics, same old faces failing to deliver and little obvious effort from our players. The lack of intent against Villa and Wigan has done for him more than the results. On the plus side it gives whoever...

Pearce at fault for second goal - was literally picking his nose as the initial cross game in and miles away from his man! Marriapa was bullied. Ledge gave away the first goal with an outrageously cr@p hoof in the air. I really can't see what Ledge offers that Jem, Tabby (sent off to Ipswich??) and...

"The fans were excellent at the start of the game, they got behind us. They are entitled to boo and cheer, from my point of view we need the fans on board 100 per cent but if sometimes they disagreed with my decisions I have no problem with that. "The margins are very, very fine in this d...

He was at fault for the second goal today, as the first ball was played in he was picking his nose (fact) and let the first shot come in unopposed!

bit of booing there I think. Fair enough, people have paid good money to watch the sh!te we've been turning out all season, still not won against the bottom 5 teams. May as well sack Brian now, release the players we don't need and have a 4 month training camp to prepare us for life surviving the C...
