Hard to see any progress for the forseeable future

[SpaceCruiser]

Hang on a minute, Schards posted a knee-jerk post in the aftermath of the Ipswich defeat and said he couldn't see any progress. He even went on to say that he didn't think we would win an away game! So since that defeat, we're unbeaten in 4 games, scored 15 goals and conceded 2. And from the last two away games, we've had a win and a draw. So, basically, Schards is wrong to say that we won't be making any progress for the forseeable future. The team's immediate future looks good, we may make at least the play-offs. But his concerns about Coppell and Madejski are for next summer, let's just enjoy the moment, eh? If we do make promotion, that can only be a good thing no matter what Madejski and Coppell decides to do, surely?

hes already played his opt out cards by saying it wasnt knee jerk, it was a worry over the season as a whole, and no one result will change any of that etc etc........


ideal scenario is for copps to get us top by xmas, and mr mad to furiously try to sell up before jan, get the new arab billionaires in quick-up the wages, promise massive promotion bonus' and maybe hunty and doyler may change their minds

And dust of the extension plans for next summers building, should cost a bit less now as well, firms need the work.

I still think it's a knee-jerk post because it came after a defeat. I wonder if Reading had not lost at Ipswich, would Schards still have voiced those concerns about Coppell and Madejski?

We know what you think and, has previously been explained, you are wrong.

There is no need to keep reiterating your opinion.

Eh?

Can you substantiate that?

In all fairness, there was quite a lot of concern about how things were looking, even before the Ipswich loss, I was thinking that by October we would know where the season was possibly heading, and thought that would have been a time to look at SC moving on, if things were not improved. We had a couple of injuries and the squad looked weak, after a few games it appears that the players are pulling in the same direction, and aiming for promotion, the injured players have not been missed like we might have thought, and we are on a good run.

So we seem to have team progress at the moment, will it last, who knows.

As for the club and JM, this is much harder to decide, JM is not going to walk away, only sell to a good buyer, but RFC is not that great a club, and there has been little interest that we know about, we seem to be financially sound, we did not break the bank in the prem, and we are comfortably well off at this level, 2002 seems a long time ago now, established at champ level at least, thats progress, and over a long term, I see no reason that the next 6 seasons cannot see more progress.

[Platypuss]

LOL at Woodcote and Rother giving it large. As if they have never been wrong.

No one gets everything right but it's Schards capacity to defend the defensible that's set him apart from most.

Bugger, that irony meter had only just come back from repair too.

Far too early, even now is far too early, if we're talking about what's going to happen this season
But yeah a result like that certainly sends a signal to the rest of the division.
We are contenders, we always were.
It's October 1st and everything's oooooooooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

A few quotes from you:

Do you guys actually acknowledge the existance of away fixtures?

the away form is dreadful

Even if we get some sort of away form together (unlikely)

We are currently 3 points above 12th and still the league insist on us playing half of our games away, starting on Tuesday.

All them a bit negative about our prospects for winning an away game.

[Platypuss]

All that effort to shoot your own foot. Quite remarkable.

[The 17 Bus]

But not saying there wont be an away win, OG by you Spacey.

[brendywendy]

ita always best to gloat quietly, with a smug look, rather than mouthing off innit

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Yet again Spacey proves that he is HNA?'s resident village idiot

[brendywendy]

plenty of competition for that title here

cant blame the boy for wanting to rub it in after a great performance like that though

[Platypuss]

Schards, I'm very dismissive of your post because of your pathetic misuse of the word "firesale".

Right, that's my final, final post on this thread.

Bet he wishes it was, now.

[readingbedding]

It is a shame that Coppell's heart is not in it anymore.
Has anyone seen the spirit of the Championship winning side?

[brendywendy]

imagine what he could achieve if his heart was in it

scary stuff

[readingbedding]

If Coppell's heart wasn't in it, he wouldn't have come back.
He's a professional, one of the best.
Well respected, and we'll miss him when he goes.
