Royals v Blackburn Match thread

[.:BigDaveInTheDungeon:.]

come on lads, we're gunna win 4-3!

[Archie's penalty]

Leroy on for Bikey
Gunnar on for Rosenoir

Was Rosenior that bad?

[cmonurz]

Gunnar, Fae, Harper and Hunt in midfield. Pacy and penetrative.

[Daniella]

Oh reading reading, you should of bought some players when you had the chance!!!!

This is incredibly depressing - this is like 1997-8...

A joke, right?

really?

what you mean on the verge of being relegated to the third tier and looking woeful with few prospects as opposed to pmaybe being relegated to the 2nd tier with many many prospects

Prospects of many, many of our top players trying to jump ship. Those who aren't good enough to join a club in the PL may well decide they are better off earning decent money with another Championship team.

As for splashing money like Watford and trying to bounce straight back - little prospect. a) I can't see the Chairman doing it - instead expect lectures about the need to cut back and cut our cloth according to our means b) If we can't attract players now, what prospect in the Championship.

I can feel a pants day coming on

You're probably only half joking and I agree with you. The fact is, the players are the same ones who got us to eighth last season. They may not have the quality to repeat that this season and Coppell has clearly made a mistake in not bringing in more quality.

The thing that really grates me is that the players seem to have lost sight of the things that we did so well in the past couple of years. We're not hassling, we're not working hard to win the ball, we've got no maturity in possesion, no discipline, no organisation. You don't have to be a world class player to do these things and I do think that we'd look a much more solid side if we employed the work ethic we had for the past few seasons.

IMO, the players are not trying sufficiently.

should have

[Ups and Downs]

I think Fae looks alright, definately better than Gunnar

What are you basing that on?

Im watching the game. Sure he's not exactly controlling the game but Blackburn are playing excellently through the midfield and Bikey and Harper aren't really doing much either. When Fae does get the ball he looks pretty decent, certainly got a bit of pace.

How are you watching it? If on the net have you got a link?

New Keeper Needed ASAP ......... FACT

100% agree, or give mikkel andersen a go

So what we need is a couple of unfortunate training ground accidents so we can go for a new keeper on emergency loan!

anyone got a link for an up to date table?

Perhaps Marcus is still recovering from his celebrations in Switzerland?

Sure thing, the link should be in the stickied "watching the royals on the net" thread or whatever its called. I can't promise it'll make for happy viewing however

[winchester_royal]

I've seen this written a few times. Anybody who actually believes the statement can you please explain how it's possible to say it and keep a straight face?

Quite!

They might have the same names but they very definitely aren't the same players!
