Should we have kept Church?

[TBM]

We need a striker and he's more than capable in this division

Should we have kept Simon Church?

[St. Brynjar]

I'd rather we kept Hunt.

[P!ssed Off]

Church, Hunt, Pogrebnyak or Blackman?

What a depressing choice.

No wonder ALF is worshiped as a hero when this lot are the alternative.

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

Simon Church always has promise as as striker it was the club that him back.

He should have gone out on season long loan to prove his ability....RFC failed on this count as they kept him at the club to play the odd game season after season where he came in for criticism from the fans on more than one occasion.

Good luck to the lad at Charlton where he may well hit 12 - 16 goals this season now that he is playing regular football.

[Norfolk Royal]

One of TBM's little jokes.

[super darren caskey]

Simon Church Jokes aside.He would be more use than a not interested Pog.At least Churchy gave his all every time he played in a Reading shirt and actually gave a shit.

Always feel the abuse Church got on here was a bit undeserved.He was always 100 per cent committed to the cause and deserved a bit more respect just for that alone.Hes doing well at Charlton so far and im pleased for him


What a Charlton fan thought of Church in their 2-1 win against Leicester City: Churchy absolutely ran himself into the ground for us, his movement and commitment is superb and I've been really impressed with the brief glimpses we've had of him

[Reading4eva]

Yes. Church could do a job in this league. Unfortunately Brian didnt think about this initially and signed Blackman who is potentially worse.

[marcusopp]

I'd rather we kept Hunt.

I'm with you. Hunt offers much more and never sulks. Church is only good when he comes off the bench when we're already winning. With hindsight, i bet the club also wish they'd offered Hunt an extra year too.

[andrew1957]

Even Church would be better than no one.

And Hunt would be much better than Church or no none.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

[ManchesterRoyals]

Anyone but Blackman

[tee peg]

plop goes the float....

[Unphased Royal]

And now we wait. Tommio must be a prime candidate? Obvs when he gets home from school.

GENUINELY rather have Curo back at his age rather than Church, the guy is absolute pony.

[Royal Ginger]

Yes. Church could do a job in this league. Unfortunately Brian didnt think about this initially and signed Blackman who is potentially worse.

The same Nick Blackman who scored 14 goals, largely from the wing in by Christmas? He clearly hasn't worked, but acting on the information Brian had at the time, i think it's a bit harsh to be critical.

[TBM]

and now with Pog sent off and missing, having Church could have been handy

[SPARTA]

Should we have? We offered him a new deal, just as we did with Noel Hunt, and both turned them down. Their choice to go.

[blueroyals]

Scored as many goals as ALF so far this season

[TBM]

Did we? - source?

[PieEater]

To answer the OP, no.
