Fall on your sword

[Terminal Boardom]

Our next home game is the big one. We must win it. Or BR has got to go,

Yes.

[bobby m's syrup]

Buck says on the BBC website that

We are capable of being at the top of the table

Haven't you just gotta love his eternal optimism or total madness?

Bet the Watfud crew are loving all this.1-0 victors at Boro' today.

So let's just pinch their manager again. Simples!

"Our game plan was perfect in terms of how we were going to defend and attack"

There's only one way to beat them. Get round the back.

[midfield diamond]

A loss at QPR followed by the usual home dross against Leicester and SJM will have to act to bring this most embarassing spell of football management to an end.
Admittedly the financial cuts have been too severe but most of the new signings are rubbish (Rasiak, Howard and especially Cummings), the team selection is bizarre ( i.e. Mills in today, had a reasonably good game so where's he been hiding since August?), and the tactics seem to change dependent upon which page of Jose's guide to coaching falls open on the day.
Also perhaps Hammond should take an early bath as he must have had some influence over BR's appointment and the subsequent transfer mis-dealings. Any decent D of F would surely have advised SJM that the planned cuts were too severe and disaster would follow.

He didn't really say that did he?!

[Dorset-Knob]

'Brendan Rodgers' is an anagram of 'Deja vue, Tommy Burns' well near enough to get us cattle-trucked anyway! Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, time to go? I think so!

[rotherwick_royal]

If things go badly in the next couple of games I think Ipswich will be a must-win for BR or he's out.

[Bill Oddie]

If and when he goes go he MUST take Cummings with him, he really has to be the worst buy (tell me we didn't pay for him) we have made since Sean Evers. Lose at QPR and the Leicester home game will really have the natives restless especially in front on the cameras

I think Ipswich will be a must win game or we're in serious danger of going down!

[cmonurz]

Given Ipswich are winless, I'd have to agree. If we can't break our home duck against Keane's lot, that might be it.

Typical Reading of old will lose to Ipswich, then beat a half decent side the next week.

Perhaps he did.
But I wouldn't like to try and advise the Madman.

[Sir Rodger Doyle]

I did a poll just the other day, the opinion was he needs more time and will turn it around.

But Madejski's had more than enough time to turn things around! He started the slide off during our first season in the PL when he said he wanted out!!

You're not wrong.

[westongeezer]

The next 2 games will be the answer, if we lose them there will be no more places to hide, he will not be able to answer his critics with a web of dressed up bullshit, but sadly we will be in such a freefall im not sure anyone will be able to save us from this season, im sure the board are now begining to panic, his eating out on being the "chosen ones love child" aint gunna wash no more as we all get our tickets for the Bracknell town v Rfc game, if there is anyone that is still saying "its all a matter of time" sure it is its time you got your head outta of ya arse and smelt the coffee the guy clearly has no clue what so ever.

I don't see any reason to give him that long right now.

That'll be his 16th league game and 18th competitive game. Can you really see a win coming before that? We were pretty lucky to win at Preston in reality.

I'm not sure I want to give him 'til Tuesday, let alone November.

[Maguire]

In which case we were pretty "unlucky" to lose to Cardiff

Oooo we could have nearly had a point!

I personally think there is a difference between being hit on the break well after once again failing to show a cutting edge, and being saved by the woodwork 3 or 4 times and your keeper pulling off several world class saves.

[loyalroyal4life]

Im gonna toddle down to Corals in Twyford and put £10 on Curbishley to be our manager by Xmas, Madejski will now realise that the more mature realistic non bullshitting self obsessed fraudster is the type of man he wants mangaging the club.

might do the same do you know what his odds are?

[loyalroyal4life]

i think todger has the next 2 games to fix up if not then he will be gone. definately needs a win against leicester

[Royalee]

Ian, Cardiff's keeper pulled off 3 or 4 top class saves including a one-on-one from Hunt and another which was going right in the corner from Church. We also hit the woodwork at least once to my knowledge.
