RFC vs Derby - Result papers over some very serious cracks

[Wycombe Royal]

Would you rather have Koumas on the wing, or Leroy Rosenoir?

Koumas prefers central midfield and is also left footed.

So, still infinitely better than our right wing options, then?

Koumas isn't a right winger and neither is Rosenior.

So basically we wouldn't have spent £6m to play him there.

Now, what point are you trying to make?

Back to school for WR

I am trying to point out that neither are right wingers and we would not have bought Koumas to play there. At least Rosenior is right footed and is just filling in whilst Oster recovers from injury.

If you were trying to make your point using a right winger who we could have bought then you may have point.

[Alan Partridge]

Koumas is right footed btw.

But also never a right winger, the only fit right winger we had we bombed out to Fulham.

What is it with you and Koumas!? We were in no position to buy him when we needed a right winger. He may be marginly better than Oster and Seol, but thats hardly going to improve the team a great deal so why waste lots of money on a guy who is barely better than what we have. Oh and I say again, he;d already gone elsewhere.

Are you his freaking mother or something?

Duberry was utter gash today, how this donkey gets a game ahead of Bikey is laughable.

Duberry - You can't pick a long pass out so DON'T BOTHER trying.

With that basket-case midfield in front giving him no receiving options he did exactly the right thing.

i guess that included Harps and Hunty


all in all

what are you lots problems?......I enjoyed the game

[Platypuss]

The only thing enjoyable about it was the result - the quality of football was absolutely atrocious.

each to their own

seen plenty worse

[Alan Partridge]

I'd agree that the standard of football was very poor today. It was just two teams with zero confidence both playing to nick the result, thankfully we did and kept a clean sheet. 2 massive positives from today.

[Royal Rother]

And no bookings!!

Except for one...

[Alan Partridge]

And no bookings!!

Ivar was booked when he got turned on the edge of our box in the first half.

[Katie Marsden]

Today was never going to be pretty but the result was the be all and end all. Can't see things improving much because we're low on quality in midfield and confidence won't change that.

We just have to keep winning home games and hope for the odd point away. We can then improve the side in January and go from there.

and Claude Davis got booked for a life ending tackle

For people that think Duberry is iffy see Claude £3.5million Davis. Now he truly is AWFUL.

Just an example of a player we could have realistically signed, but ended up at a club of similar stature to ours.

Considering our total absence of a right winger in our team I don't think it is stupid.

Just a point of view Ian, no need to aggravate your ulcer about it FFS. Chill out

Yes I am his mum

[Royal Rother]

Does that make me his Grandad?

Yes Dad.

Happy birthday

[paultheroyal]

If we keep this up though - we will be safe with two games to go.

No panic from me!! We are 12th!! New sigings in January 08 to come.

[royalsteve]

Not 1 player IMO today deserved the Reading shirt (maybe a bit harsh on Hunt) and that more than anything is what's missing for me.......NO DESIRE.

Oh behave mate. Kitson was quality again today in terms of holding up the ball and laying it off/turning his man.

And he and Doyle were looking better and better as a pair as the game went on

you must have been watching a different game to me.......we didnt play well, couldnt string more than 3 passes together but we got the win and a clean sheet, that was more important than anything else today. We have played 100 times better this season and lost (Chelsea - home).

Kitson, Hunt and Doyle all played well......gunarsson, dubery, Rosenior all had shockers (well ok Rosenior is out of position) again today and its about time coppell made some changes....when did make changes he brought on Oster who also had a shocker.

I dont think Sonks has too much to worry about when he is fully fit....we need him and i suspect he may play some of the Blackburn game or the next home game aginst newcastle......

i am just glad we played derby today who were truly awful!

[readingbedding]

a win is a win is a win.
i'm happy enough.

[Archie's penalty]

Gunnarsson was terrible but I thought the rest of the team did ok. Fae comes in I think we'll be fine,

Gunnarsson is simply not good enough - the others are going to get better and we will be ok...
