Nice to hear.

'A club that will be in the Premiership next year for sure.'

Another person who knows what they're on about...there's lots out there!
Professional opinion beats amateur opinion, hands down...All the way!

[Barry the bird boggler]

Anyone recall seeing Brendan play for the reserves? Didn't injury curtail his career?

[readingbedding]

He played for the first team, didn't really pull up any trees, but in 1990 who did? And yeah, injuries screwed his playing career.

[OLLIE KEARNS]

Worked at Reading for some years and is very respected inside the game. Glowing Jose M reference landed him the Watford job. Could well be a future Reading manager if he does well in the next couple of years.

[Leamington Royal]

When were we behind Wycombe?

[The 17 Bus]

which is why he is listed as playing no games for reading.

Not even as a Sub?

Spot on. His coaching reputation is second-to-none in the game. Makes Scolari's training sessions look amateurish in comparison apparently. And Mourinho was a big, big fan. Given a bit of time, and some money to bring in some of his players, he’ll do well at Watford.

I doubt he’ll make tonight’s game much fun, mind.

No, another 4-5-1 set up no doubt !

When were we behind Wycombe?

Yeah, exactly what I'm wondering!

I completely agree, so it's with thanks to two of the best managers ever in Wenger and Ferguson for telling us 'there is no way Reading will go down'.

Not even as a sub, buy a copy of Royals remembered, and Heaven on Earth, bit out of date now but relevant for old facts.

In 1999/2000 it is fully possible that at some point WW were higher than RFC, as there was only a one point difference in the end.

I have them all, thought I'd remember seeing him play, we had lots of youngsters back then who played for the first team.
Sorry.

Just checked soccerbase, nope, not at all. We finished two places above them and by one point.

It doesn't say we finished behind Wycombe in the league, just that we were behind them.

That probably means in the way the club was set up and run etc, not league position.

I remember Rodgers as a player for the Reserves and he was alright. Don't think he was ever that good that he was definately going to make it though. Did a lot of good work at the club at the time though from what I heard so good luck to him.

I've played against him. Ran rings around me. Mind you so did Hughie Cheetham. And Stuart Beavon. And pretty much everyone.

[STAR TRAVEL]

Brendan is also Mike Kearney's son-in-law.

[East Stand Royal 500]

He's just trying to lull us into a false sense of superiority. Didn't Jan Poortvliet say much the same ahead of the Southampton game and so did Dave Jones ahead of the Boxing Day match?

[Jackson Corner]

When were we behind Wycombe?

They've reached the semis of the league and FA cup something we've not even got close too.

Yep,those professionals always get it right don't they?
Famously Alan Hansen,one of the best defenders ever in English football,"You don't win anything with kids".
We all know what happened a few months later.
