[koran]

Kebe off - Tabb on!!

And we've reached page 2 at last!

[leww_rfc]

Nows the time!! A goal would be such a boost!

[leww_rfc]

0-0 FT.

[koran]

But only just! This from BBC website from 3rd minute of time added on ...

"Direct effort from the free kick comes in from Marlon King, brilliant save by Adam Federici."

Next weeks prediction: Derby 0-0 Reading!

[roadrunner]

Another draw. The only positive I can see at the moment is we look a safe bet to remain at this level this season and we can look to give one or two more youngsters a few games near the end of the season, if mid-table placing remains. Jake Taylor is another bright prospect who I'd like to see more of. He can't be any less effective than Howard.

I am in no way Shane Long's biggest fan but he was a HELL of a lot better than Hunt, Kebe and McAnuff today. A really really poor show today and McDermott needs to face up to that and stop talking as though we are "close" to something. Utter garbish and we are not going anywhere soon unless we invest

That can only be said by someone who wasn't at the game. Regardless of how good Coventry might be (and they didn't look that good), we could, should and would have won the game if we had a decent goalscorer.

Rasiak (whatever people think of him) would have scored plenty of goals in this team this season, had the Chairman not ordered that he be offloaded to save his precious cash.

Disagree. Kebe and McAnuff played really well during the first half, but it must be so demoralising for them to see the 'strikers' and central midfielders miss all of the decent chances they set up for them. Coventry had no answer for either of our wide players in the first half and went mobhanded on them in the second. That should have freed up other players to do something but they didn't. Then both full backs were given the rest of the game off when McDermott brought off Kebe, brought on Robson Kanu (hardly a player that has defenders at this level quaking in their boots) and pushed McAnuff into central midfield.

Banging them in in Cyprus, not.

Little over 14000 what does that tell you Madejski about your total lack of investment in this club.
Soon he will be bleating on about losses through the gate, well thats all down to you sunbeam.

More to do with it being a) Coventry and 2) the penultim8 shopping Saturday before Christmas.

Team worth watching = 2-3000 more on the gate though. Proven in the promotion season.
