Shaun Cummings

[Big Foot]

It's not a u-turn, I still believe that the likes of Robson-Kanu and Davies should be in the side as per the start of the season alongside Karacan and Sigurdsson who have looked good - it's Rodgers who's done the 'u-turn'. I'm not asking for him to be sacked either, but don't let that get in the way of your drivel.

So are you enjoying the Rodgers Revolution or not? Are you enjoying fighting for survival?

[Pridders]

I haven't seen him play as I am a pLOLastic but is he better than John Halls?

no

he must be sh!t!

[Man Friday]

He's worse than that.

lol


ok

captain drivel

At least he has the ability to man up and admit when he may be mistaken. I fully agree with Royalee, early on BR made promises which made me feel very excited as an RFC fan. He's backtracked on them, the passing football is all but gone, and the majority of the youngsters find themselves out of the squad altogether.

He could still turn it round, and we'll probably win tomorrow after all this abuse, but he needs to sort certain areas. Get rid of Kebe and Howard, bring back Sig and HRK, and stop hoofing it long at every op.

[brendywendy]

that is the least you should expect
but the vociferousness of his initial rodgers love renders all of that utterly pointless IMO
it wasnt just what he was promising, it was about the man, and what he would achieve


not sure if +HRK -kebe being the answer to our right wing problems but hal should at least be on the bench
agree totally with sigurddson in the middle instead of howard

generally i think we have the players, just not in the right combinations yet
we started to look like we were getting there before he brought all the shite in at the end of jan.(not mills)but since then its all gone to shit

Rodgers passing football appeared to last one game and then got anhilated at Newcastle at which point he panicked. It's not like he ever even attempted to deliver on the attacking part of his promise.

He may be a good manager under the right circumstances, but those circumstances are not going into th eseason having no clue who your best team, playing for a draw in your opening game at home and panic reacting to every result.

If he'd had the balls to pick a team and system and stick to it for the first 3-5 games and start the season gunning for victories, we could quite easily be in the top half, given the resources that were available to him.

Utter rubbish with respect to quitting passing the ball after the Newcastle game - I take it you weren't at the Cardiff match, Barnsley and shut your eyes during the first half at Pboro?

Agree he's bottled it in the last few games though.

What is your blog ?

http://royaleeblog.blogspot.com

Nice one. Hope it doesn't reduce your postings here. I'm all for blogs, but not at the expense of the thrut and cussed of multi-user forums such as this.

Lol, I don't think there's much chance of that - I don't tend to talk about Reading on there. New article's up now anyway for those interested:

I saw Chelsea's young Serbian defender Slobodan Raykovic at work earlier today, seems to think that Betrand has a good future and played with him regularily in the reserves, when i mentioned Shaun Cummings he didnt have the faintest clue who he was! I am starting to wonder if he ever existed as a footballer pre MK Dons. Also saw Reading old boy Seol Ki Hyeon earlier, didnt think much of our new young players and dont think he rated Long at all when he was there- theres a suprise!

Chelsea do seem to have a lot of right-backs.
Ivanovic is currently playing and there are Bosingwa and Ferreira and Belletti.
Then there are two reserves playing at Dagenham and Saints on loan so Cummings was around 7th choice.
I never understood why Rodgers was in such a hurry to sign him when he looks no better than Kelly.

[Sir Rodger Doyle]

To be fair, he did well today. I actually did a double take when the players came out of the tunnel. Didn't recognise him at all.

Know what you mean, looks like he's grown a bit taller

[Wycombe Royal]

Decent performance today at LEFT back. Maybe that is where Rodgers went wrong with him?

[fester_royal]

credit where credits due, didnt think he was too bad today.

was skinned one too many times by dyer but then looking at dyer so would many more accomplished players (williams would have struggled for sure!!)

I think Williams would have been rinsed so much, he would have shrunk by half-time.

[Millsy]

Cummings wasn't amazing but did have a solid game.

Perhaps now that we see him as a possible up-and-coming player he can steadily grow into a good player. He afterall must have had some talent to be developed by Cheatski.

Part of the problem before was that we saw him as one of BR's hotshot world class signings from a world class club thanks to his world class contacts, expecting him to give us world class performances especially under the world class manager with world class tactics who signed him (via a world class agent) in a generally world class deal.

[RoyalBlue]

'The boy done well and I'm very pleased for him'.

Interesting that we were left with so few defensive (i.e. none) that he had to be given a chance again.

Out of interest, how many league appearances has he now had with us?

Yesterday's wouldn't have happened to trigger a stage payment to Chelsea by any chance?

[shaka's shorts]

miles better than Williams IMHO
