Hard to see any progress for the forseeable future

[readingbedding]

I hadn't seen anything so one-sided at home since Fulham last season.

Perhaps you should have stayed for the second half then ?

I did.
It was not a game of two halves.

looks like schards was right folks, 1 point from 6.....we're doomed but never mind, schards showed great foresight and that's what counts

[Sun Tzu]

I'm not sure taking one point from 6 relates to anything Schards mentioned.

Mid table ?

Lack of team spirit ?

Lack of interest from Coppell ?

Dull and uninteresting ?

There are times when you think "What nugget is going to respond to this?"

And did you win the prize ?

hmmm good result tonight, we look set for the play-offs at least, maybe schards will be man enough to reconsider his views

Unlikely...if we end up where we are at the end of the season Shards will probably say that 3rd is what he considers as 'mid table'!!!

And it'll be the Government's fault.....

These latter responses are truly pathetic imo. Still, saves finding a new whipping boy I suppose.

[Sun Tzu]

You must be using a truely original definition of 'whipping boy' there....

He's not the one who keeps bringing this bloody thread up everytime Reading win.

He's not the one who keeps bringing this bloody thread up everytime Reading win.

No, but he's the one who wrote the original thread and steadfastly refuses to acknowledge that it's been totally debunked.

It wouldn't take much swallowing of pride to admit that his reaction after Ipswich was wrong.

Any whipping is entirely self inflicted here.

Is it the end of the season? Have we already made progress and gone back to the Premiership? Until then, I wouldn't gloat. As has been said time and again, if at the end of the season he's been proved wrong, he'll be man enough (and very happy with the outcome) to admit it. Until then, bringing this thread up at every opportunity is puerile in the extreme.

[Riseley]

Schards has been misquoted and merely stated that we would have a sluggish start.

[Alan Partridge]

the 2nd half was 'dull and uninspiring' to be fair!!! first time in ages i was tempted to leave early!

Not as puerile as changing the goalposts when proved to be wrong....

[Royal Lady]

Where has anyone changed the goalposts. At the time of starting this thread, he was very disillusioned. He has stated from the outset that he doesn't see us getting promoted this season and possibly ending up mid table. This is still a reality, depending on what happens in January. When we win, he's ecstatic - believe me!

Apparantly the FA are to get clubs to use yellow goals posts iof winter beckons, same as the yellow ball, easier to see, hence easier to hit.

Paul Brayson has asked if barn doors can also be painted yellow.

[Thaumagurist*]

Where has anyone changed the goalposts.

He never said anything about the end of season. He said he expected us to be mostly in midtable. Then he changed that to end of season.

Goal post moving, or what?
