Thaumagurist*facaldaqui I don't think comparing Rodgers to Bullivant is useful, particularly if you compare the start of the season. Bullivant's team started mediocrely, taking up from where it left off under previous management the year before; but he made steady progress, and by the time we beat Birmingham in, I think, January, we were in the top half of the table. The plummet only covered the last three months of the season, when fixtures were running out fast. Rodgers has much more scope to do something about his difficulties.
The plummet started after the league cup defeat to Middlesbrough, didn't it? I think the injuries sustained during this period were blamed on the lengthy cup runs Reading were on. Bullivant simply didn't know how to cope with the injuries and bought shit players like Andy Legg, Jason Bowen and erm whatisname, we nicknamed him the ginger ninja. And, oh yes, the shitty keeper, Nicky Colgan.
Think it was Gareth Davies
