Typical Reading

Im sat here depressed once again it must be the Reading way

[2.8 lita injection]

Dellor is giving Jobi a right slagging on the radio, jobi and shorey are the only 2 decent Reading players on the pitch.

TV commentator said Jobi had put in 4 or 5 excellent balls but no-one on the end.

Has put in at least 3 very good crosses and he has beat a man a few times.

Where are all the RTGs who were castigating the realists and assuring us we would be just fine when we got to play the likes of Wigan, Southampton and Sunderland?

now now, you know the rules RoyalBlue, no wnking whilst posting

[Royalwaster]

So McDermotts team talk?

Keep trying, this is the Reading way and we just got to keep doing what we are doing.

Legsofwood- Boss how do you feel I am doing?

Egg- Having a stormer when you scored that forrest Goal it was amazing. It is the Reading way. We are fighting way above our weight so just don't worry.

Must say I do feel uncomfortable with the hate Legs is getting after what he did last season. I agree that he's looked out of his league but I don't blame it on him. It's his managers fault for not getting someone who could replace him.

[ManchesterRoyals]

For f*cks sake - can someone let me know how the jellies turned out?!

Are rewind im on sky+ but the lambs over not happy

[Platypuss]

me too. this season is depressing. still a loyal royal though!

[Get Carter]

Next up Arsenal & Man City - seven defeats on the bounce with more to come.
Sunderland have won two games in the last 23 & the win against Fulham was against 10 men for over an hour.

[PBR]

reading need a new manager, no more of this "reading way" BS. sick of it. shoulda went out the door when coppell failed us. hope we can bring in a hungry russian manager like slutsky

[Pepe the Horseman]

Obita and Samuel on 2nd half please brian

I'm hoping for Gunter, bryn and Harte.

[Libertine]

No team cohesion in spirit or execution. I'm not sure they care anymore. If a team can't get up for a game like this, and Villa and Soton, there are questions which need to be asked...

[ZacNaloen]

Jobi's looking our best attacking player

tbf, we can't lose anything by bringing samuel on at 60 minutes now. lets see what he's got.

,..another sterling captains performance from McAnuff . ..he can go with BM

Insane.

Agreed.

Only player we have that looks even close to prem quality.

Look decent when we get it to the wings, but we're so toothless up front that we don't ever look a goal threat from open play.

Pearce and Mariappa are both playing as badly as each other.

[BraisingsteakRoyal]

Commentator reckons Roberts has a groin problem.

Haha, this will be against 11 boys for 90 minutes.

Nobody did say we'd be fine. We just accept the most likely outcome to the season with calmness and perspective.

It's only bleedin' football after all.

[akranes]

Ugh, this is mentally tiring.

Just want something to believe in, a new manager, maybe. Something.

I doubt AZ is in Moscow discussing players, hardly worth flying over to talk about.

[ManchesterRoyals]

me too. this season is depressing. still a loyal royal though!

Me too till i die, but thought this season we would give it a go how wrong was i

[JayRoyal]

Someone remind me why Guthrie isn't on the bench?

[Barry the bird boggler]

Surely he has to go now, continual performances like this against patently bloody awful sides is just unacceptable. Best to get someone in now to get to know the squad and start changing it rather than keep this same old crap going nowhere and losing it with players.

Unless Anton put the mockers on spending in the summer this is all down to the manager....
