Selles not out

[Snowflake Royal]

Was it Coppell who said he preferred to go with youth in attack and experience in defence?

In theory we should have that mix. No time like the present to get these youngsters out on the pitch and playing proper football. Just need a quality mature captain to rally them when we inevitably stumble.

That and sort the off field antics. I don't think we can underestimate how badly that is affecting our players.

Mistakes upfront are certainly more forgiving than mistakes at the back.

Coppell, as always, a smart cookie.

NO! L2 bring it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And anyone who disagrees is a BED WETTER!!!!!!!

Screw you - I won't be happy until we get to reset as a National League side. I want to see us have a good go at winning the FA Trophy - see all the glory hunters snap up tickets for the final against Wealdstone.

i think i remember Reading playing Wealdstone in the cup at Elm Park in the early 80s!!! great times

Wasn't that the violent one starring the one and only Vinny Jones?

You've convinced me. We should definitely carry on exactly as we are, cancel the sale. Keep Selles til the end of the season, then appoint another flash non-entity coach.

It's definitely the way to return to the big time, and not at all the way to see the club just liquidated.

NO! L2 bring it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep taking the tablets Leon

The "handbags" from that game link below. Football before it went all wussy and girlie, much better then, cold Saturday afternoon in the cup at home, something memorable and watchable rather than the load of depressing and predictable headless chickens with no gameplan doing the same old yet again that we have had under the last 6 managers or so.

He's still here then!

[Brogue]

I don’t like him

[Rax]

Worse than Terry the Taxi, but has an insane belief he's doing the right thing - needs to go and quickly!

[Snowflake Royal]

I'm sure he's a very nice person.

It's a shame he's a dreadful manager.

Jose Gomes was as well - and unlike Selles immensley proud to be here - some really good signings too (oliveira for example)

This clown has given us Mola!

Smith, Knibbs, Button etc etc too.

Surely we can't be blaming Selles for the players we've brought in when we have a recruitment team involved in that who have been working with their hands tied behind their backs for a couple of seasons?

Point the fingers at the on-field results, because they've been well below expected this season. Today's performance was dire, but usually our performances aren't *that* bad, but the results have been over the course of the season.

”dire” ?? saw it a little bit differently to ‘most’….in parts we were dominant, the good substitutions helped.

Cba getting upset about it.

I know we held out last week, but generally I expect us to lose a game if we're going into the final 10 with a lead of fewer than 3 goals such is the fragility under this manager.

Dire is polite - there are at least two of that team today I'd be quite happy never seeing in a Reading shirt again (yes, Mola, Elliott - I'm looking at you..)

It was a spineless performance lacking in any focus, aggression or character. We couldn’t/wouldn’t do the basics - passing with any degree of accuracy, defending, closing down the play. It all falls at the managers door.

Mola is not a footballer, Carson is a well dodgy left back, Azeez is mostly puff and effort and little end product. Dean is past it and should be put out to grass or something, Elliott flatters to deceive and the team overall has zero left side threat.

I feel a bit for Elliot because he's clearly not going to impact a game out wide. A midfield of him, Craig and Wing I think would be decent I think but Knibbs has done pretty well as a 10 up until today.
