Snowflake Royal Let's be honest, that's two more points from these two games than anyone expected and Hunt is unbeaten in charge.

Results not great for us elsewhere and a real shame we couldn't hold on, but it wasn't particularly likely we would hold on at 1-0 with 11 on the pitch let alone 10.

I like what Noel is doing. We're trying to play on the deck or get in behind, but we're willing to go long too. Joao is a different player under Hunt because we're actually trying to play to his strengths. Sarr is looking like a defender most of the time now.

Just too many wrong moves or poor touches tonight. Mainly from the less experienced players like NGW, Azeez and Fornah. Something they might have got out of their system by now if Ince hadn't completely ignored them. And maybe the players would be in a better pass and move rythm if Ince had got them to play football instead of kick and rush rugby.

Next round of games is insanely important for staying up, if we're still in touch come the final two, we have a good chance. If we lose, as we are likely to v Cov, and QPR and Hudders pick up a win, we're buggered.

I just want to see Hunty do well.

Some half decent performances from Sarr, Holmes, Yiadom, Casadei and Joao. Guinness Walker good in spells but his decision making is really poor, and apart from the corners, Azeez wasn’t great nor was Fornah. Still a point after the absolutely stupid sending off is ok and keeps us in with a chance, although still feel we will go down.

If you ask yourself who Ince improved, and then who Hunt has improved, one of them has a much longer list than the other, despite having only a week with the players. Albeit Ince had taken them to such a low an improvement mostly isn't that challeging for Hunt.

So Carroll`s second red, is that the season done for him now?

Casemiro got 4 games earlier in the season for 2 reds so possibly.

As I understand things:

Because it is AC’s second red card of the season then it is an automatic TWO game ban. However if deliberate handball is deemed “serious foul play” then he will get a 4 game ban (3 games for the offence and an extra game as it’s his second red of the season).

So he is DEFINITELY going to miss Coventry and Wigan (but he has been playing with a groin problem so the lay off can only help him in that respect) and he will miss Huddersfield and the first game of next season if it is deemed serious foul play.

As he got a 2nd yellow not sure it can be serious foul play.

So he'll be back to come off the bench at Huddersfield and score the winner :wink:

Sutekh That utterly dreadful home performance against the fakes may well cost Reading this season.


That was particularly crap but in reality almost every game Ince was manager would be to blame if we do go down.

It's realistically the decision to put all our eggs in one basket and bank on selling Puscas to meet the business plan, then doing nothing to sell anyone else when that failed.

Without that -6 we'd be safe.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we'd have been better off trying to move on Ejaria and keeping Puscas, just based on the fact he operates most effectively as a two, which is what we've played all season.

Not a bad point again, disappointing in some ways but also good because we'd have definitely taken it before the game.

Found it quite funny that Carroll says his stupid error has cost the team from an "accidental" handball, but he knows he's let the team down with that. Azeez can put some good deliveries in from that side from corners as well!

Another gritty performance and, whilst not a win, another point closer to what we need. Two wins from our last 3 games will do it, hopefully we can get something, ideally a win, at Coventry. That would be huge for us at this point of the season. Two draws against 2 of the top 3 is not a bad start, but we need wins quickly.

Think we can generally agree Ince is the reason for relegation if/when it happens. The club’s big mistake really was not jettisoning him sooner, personally I’d have made the change after the Hull negativity.

Think it’s harsh to blame him solely. Without the 6 points he’d have got us safe probably (though not 100%) on that

We do look a different side now he’s gone though. Much more energy

That was posted yesterday, shrug it happened 15 years ago :|

Will you leave me alone like I asked 6 weeks ago and stop following me around after EVERY post I make or will I have to keep this up and find some wrestling videos too??

Despite the fact you hate me so much, you seem to take some sort of weird pleasure in following me like you get off on it
