In a thread here I asked Brendan to lose more games as I rather he mixes it up a bit and learns from his squad than does the safe borin thing and make do with hanging on.

However I would certainly not go so far as to say I've been enjoying it.

And my patience is beginning to wear a little thin now.

However I do still feel it's not been enough games and the man is at least mixing things up and learning an awful lot from his squad, which can only be a good thing. I just hope

1) it starts coming together within the next 5 games, certainly before Christmas

2) he would be a little more honest with himself and the fans and not come out with the rubbish he has.

He seems an odd character. On the one hand he's frightfully honest and talks about it taking 2-3 seasons until we gel (which I still think is realitically going to be the case, despite our delusional wishful thinking), our lack of quality up front, but then he goes and makes horrific nonsensical contradictory claims like we're going to make the playoffs and that we're currently playing enjoyable football. I enjoy getting certain parts of my anatomy caught in my flies than I do following Reading at the moment.

Mixing things up is contributing majorly to the problems.

Consistency in tactics and selection is common to most teams that perform well. Certainly in recent (last 15 years) Reading teams.
Chopping and changing every game is a common to most teams that perform badly. Certainly recent (last 15 years) Reading teams.

Nice to see you want us relegated. :|

I wouldn't dislike him so much if he kept his mouth shut.

Everything he says makes me cringe.

If we don't WIN on Monday he's OUT

I agree. He's had most of his mixing-it time. I hope he can now begin to crystallise what he's learnt so far into some sort of plan so he can come up with a bit of consistency over the next few games.

As I say my patience is beginning to wear thin.

He should have started the season with a team in mind and stuck to it for a couple of games then tried something new if it wasn't working. Random mixing it up every game is for pre-season.

Terminal Boardom
winchester_royal Rodgers came out and said the players aren't good enough, and that Tuesday was his worst night in football. Fairly strong words AP, and at no point has he said he's happy with what he has seen in the last 3 games.

I understand it's all very anti-Rodgers ATM, but he's trying to do his job, and he really does care about the club. Slagging off everything he does is childish and rather indicative of modern football.


I accept your first sentence Winch but he then goes and spoils it all by coming out with the biggest load of bollocks to date. When will he learn to talk sense and to stop trying to fool us? He is laughable. Hence the images of Comical Ali. If he was the Captain of the Titanic he would probably have said that we were just stopping to replenish the ice buckets!

Who talks more bollocks? Rodgers, Chemical Ali, Nick Griffin or me?


Well I can talk bollocks for England, but I am so far off the World Class bollocks that Bodger comes out with it's unreal.

I'd say Bodger is tops, Chemical Ali has some interesting ideas (but wrong targets), ditto Fatty Hitler, so really Termy it's between you and me for fourth place I'd say!
