Their are many disapointments wearing the hoops right now.
Whilst I am no appologist for Shaun Cummings, it is blatantly obvious that the poor lad has got nothing to work with in front of him on the wing.

Stevie G Back on subject track, I don't see how he was right at all. He didn't play the youngsters much at the time as no doubt he was continuing to hold out too much loyalty to the likes of big time charlie's like SHunt. As much as I like Doyle I'm afraid that to say that the 'summer clear out' are all pretty much putting the effort in for their crust right now, something they couldn't do to at least repay their fans for the 2nd half of last season, less Bikey but he was not a liability for effort.
Our youngsters are performing well, sadly they are not led by enough quality experience on the field so I fear we are overlrelying on them. For me the most disappointing player this season has been Cummings and I think as soon as we plug that gap we'll have a much stronger side.

Sometimes doing the right thing for the best interests of the club is to walk away when you know your heart isn't in it. Coppell could have signed a contract and waited for the axe to come along with the big contract payoff.Royaleeadamh4608Royalee LOL, nothing would please me more than seeing him take that shower down to League 2.
royalee, i bet you were not slagging coppell down in the 05-06 season. and the 06-07 season you talk about Loyalty, where's your's
Where was Coppell's? He upped and left as soon as things went against him and bottled it. He did the same at Brentford and Man City instead of showing them respect.

FiNeRaInmidfield diamond Finally SC's best call was to resign having no doubt known that JM's budget cuts were in the offing rendering the managers job mission impossible.
+1, couldnt be arsed with unrealistic expectations from a chairman who knows nothing about football.

Tommy Youlden's Ears Watched 'Any Given Sunday' again yesterday. Was struck, watching the famous 'game of inches' speech, how true it is. Coppell failed, ultimately, to push his team the right side of the narrow line between success and failure.
He knew it, and he knew therefore that his time was up. Coppell was right to leave cos he had lost the ability to get acceptable performances from easily one of the top three squads in the championship last year. Even had that squad stayed this year, what could he offer?
I thought (and posted) in the summer that Rodgers should be given to Christmas to prove himself. I still think that's the right thing, though I can't see any signs that he'll turn in around. We're in the sht. Maybe it's only inches the other way, and we're a few weeks from glory.
I won't hold my breath though. I don't get to the ground every week. Having missed the first five minutes of Wolves in January, it's now seven home games I've seen without seeing us score. Given that I live 40 miles away, that's a lot of time, miles, fuel and tickets down the pan.

royalexile The next 3-5 games will be vital in proving Rodgers comments are starting to bear fruit. Has he finally now worked out his starting team. He tried that against Middlesbrough and this was probably not the game to instil confidence in the consistancy of the starting team. Coming off the back of Preston which (though a good result) was at a different level to a demoted PL team eager to bounce straight back up at the first attempt.
The issue of removing a manager at this stage of the season can again go either way (obviously). Remove him and the results are still the same and all this could prove is denting the team further. We still have players attempting to establish and prove themselves at this club and indeed in this league so just changing a manager in a blame/ blame culture could possibly further damage this club.
Will JM take ownership of this and make a change and indeed further gamble on this season - who knows.
The club has sorted and realligned the wage structure, now it needs to plateau out this inconsistancy in individual performace. We haven't even hit the compounding factor of numerous injuries yet which further adds to the mire.

No Fixed Abode Coppell left because there is only so much you can achieve with Reading. Top flight football was a massive achievement for the club and that's all they can hope for. I don't think Reading will ever win any major trophies.

Royalee Steve Coppell resigned because he'd realised he left us in the shit and didn't have the balls to sort his mess out. Nobody has taken him on since.
