Hoop Blah So we've not lost a single game after taking the lead? That's not a bad record.

floyd__streete Anyway, here's one for you all:
If there was such a desire to 'improve' the playing style for purposes of potential longevity in the top flight (some plausible logic at play here), then could we have not given Brian a season in the Champ with the brief of making a top 6 side play a more possession-based game, instead of wasting goodness knows how many 10s of thousands paying him off Adkins apologists asking for him to be given time is an opinion that holds some sway.....so why couldn't Brian have been given that time to achieve a similar objective

Fine, but we haven't lost a game we've been ahead in and your post completely ignores the point that togetherness is something which takes time to develop.

floyd__streeteVictor Meldrew What is this so-called "new system"?
9 months in or however long it is I don't see much change whereas when McGhee came in it was about 9 days.
I think the idea that we are playing a much-changed passing game is a myth.
McGhee's Reading utterly sucked initially and barely won back-to-back games for 18 months. The difference between MM and NA being that MM was a novice manager who had a miniscule budget
Anyway, here's one for you all:

Merry Xmas Floyd. Spotted you on Saturday, but you were in mid-rant and I was trying to find someone, so I didn't come say hello. Apologies for my rudeness.
Hope you're at least enjoying having something to complain about.

Post was in reply to "I think we have shown resolve to pull back scores on occasion." Which may well be true but it hasn't happened in the last 18 games all competitions, and we've had more than a few opportunities.
What will or won't happen in the future is irrelevant.

Oh, I see - you only wanted to address half the point, rather than all of it. Gotcha.

How the oxf*rd does one address "when it clicks, we will improve"?
It is vague, meaningless nonsense, that cannot be disproved or proved, therefore I decided not to waste my time discussing when, or if, we might 'click'.
HTH.

Extended-Phenotype it could be said that making sweeping and crushing evaluations early doors is what is truly meaningless

Deep breath, mate. It's not meaningless to suggest stuff needs time and it could be said that making sweeping and crushing evaluations early doors is what is truly meaningless.

It's a nonsense statistic though, isn't it?
What does it really mean? We've not conceded two goals in less than 90 mins when we're already a goal up. Yeah amazing.

Cureton's Volley All this small talk is very endearing, but fails to address the core issue: Adkins is a pcunt
