rob the royal i'm sure half you lot thought leroy was poo until we started losing every game.
personally i think he should have been given a chance, but looking back to when we've seen him play this season can we really say that he'd do much better than doyle or kitson just cos he's netted a few for the reserves?
i was shocked when i saw this, but at the end of the day it changes nothing, if we get desperate we can just recall him can't we? well that's what i thought. if we can't it's only until the end of the month anyway. so he's only missing 4 games. if he comes back having bagged a hatful and then gets a run in the team and saves us then nobody will be complaining

holsgrove breaks a legWycombe RoyalRawlie19 And it's only for a month. Calm down people, the sky isn't really falling, it's just an acorn.
Yes it's only for 28 days. But in those 28 days we have FOUR Premiership matches. Four matches where we cannot get an injury to a striker. It's a very big risk.
and wasn't it coppell himself who said that it was important to have 4 strikers available at the club??....

cmonurz And what’s all this ‘it’s only for a month’ crap? We have 4 key league games at the next month – including 3 winnable home matches which may be vital to us staying up.

Smoking Kills Dancing Doe Unbelieveable.
Utterly.
What are we doing? Why didn't we sign a striker in Jan? Answer be that fckukin question? Because you rate Lita so little your prepared to send him out on loan?
This sums up Coppell 100%. When he can sign someone he says he's happy with the squad, as soon as the window shuts he's starts showing that he wasn't happy with the squad. If he'd let Lita go in January he'd have had to sign a replacement, letting him go know means he doesn't have to by anyone. Which is just yet another example of Coppell not having the bottle to sign anyone significant.
Yet another utterly clueless decision from the man, who yes has done great for us, but this season has made terrible decsion after terrible decision that have been the root cause of our appaling season.

Archie's penalty Look at all the STG's crawling out of the closet after the hamlet cigar moment of saturday and onwards
Fwiw I'm a little disappointed. I do think Kebe could do a job up front for us though.
Surely it's better to give Long, Doyle and Kitson (and Kebe) our support than go crazy about the departure of a player who hasn't scored in the league ALL season?
Coppell a terrible manager? Don't make me laugh!

cmonurz Doyle – no goals in last 12 appearances dating back to 8th December
Long – no goals in last 17 appearances (27th October)
Kitson – no goals in last 7 appearances (29th December)
This is not the time to be loaning out our only other striking option, not least one who has scored 6 goals in 3 weeks for the reserves. If Lita was this out of favour, why the hell did we let Cox join Swindon?!

Vision Its a baffling, bizarre and frankly worrying decision but where has all this nonsense about Coppell being "selfish" and doing it for his "personal" reasons come from.
You'd have to be totally blinkered to think that a decision like this isn't going to earn you a huge amount of stick. The "selfish" thing would be to continue playing Lita in the reserves not ship him out on a months loan so everyone can join a queue to hammer you.
If things have really broken down between Lita and Coppell (and no-one really knows for sure ) then rather than let things continue to fester , giving Lita a month away from the situation might just see him return with a different outlook for the final 6 games of the season. Its not just about Lita, its about the effect his alledged disaffection might have on the the other 20 players who are vital to our survival.
Dont get me wrong, i'm as perturbed by the decision as anyone but surely people don't honestly believe its done for any other reason than Coppell thinks its the best thing for the whole squad.

cmonurz Londinium and Archie’s Penalty must be confused – I don’t think there is a Reading fan on this board who won’t be giving our remaining players all the support they can muster this weekend. But that is a complete irrelevance in relation to Coppell’s baffling decision to ship Lita out.
Unless Lita has refused to play for the club, I can’t think of any ‘breaking down’ of the relationship between Lita and the club that should necessitate his being loaned out.
