Pain..

[moo]

I'm so so proud, but I swear we have lost several "major" games in a row, I mean Liverpool and everton in the cup didn't feel big before hand.

We have been relegated during the last mins of a season, beat by Brum to miss out on promotion, a week later beaten by burnley TWICE, then lost two successive quarter finals where we played more than admirably.

I'm sure these are our last five big games in a row, and while we are fortunate to have so many grandstand games, let's take a moment to feel sorry for ourselves.. Roll on the playoffs

Roll out the gin

I'm talking about the games you think about non stop for days that can change the history of the club. All those games were truly capable of making us a bigger club than Brighton

[Kitson12]

Reckon this may well change it for the better...such a proud fan. Pity more of the hardcore weren't there today.

[SLAMMED]

Who knows what we might have achieved had we had a 6000 strong away following.

For some perspective - City have been to Wembley more recently than us. For the Third Division Play-Off Final.

Was that vs Gillingham? If so, my memory is weird.

[prostak]

Yeh. It was called the Second Division at the time, now League One, but the third tier. 0-0 until the 81st minute, when a certain Asaba scored the first of 4 goals, all scored within about 13 minutes.

More coaches full of disappointed fans?

[Libertine]

The only pain/disappointment I will feel is when this club is broken up and sold off piece by piece over the next couple years if we don't get promoted this year. I love this team. I love their heart. I love their character. I love the memories they have given us. Back to back FA Cup quarters with wins at Anfield, Goodison and 2 over West Brom. I loved their charge up the table the second half of last year after being on the cusp of the drop zone. But unless we can make a late season push and get the third promotion spot in the play-offs it might be the end of the line in terms of representing Reading for this particular group of players. They really are an easy group of lads to like. True professionals. And who knows, if McDermott keeps making runs deep into FA Cups he might be going up without the rest of the team too.

Great post! 100% agree...

Roll on the playoffs

'greed. Roll on the play-offs 2011/12.

[Terminal Boardom]

Love the team, hate the club.

[floyd__streete]

Yep.

Bolton '95 - LOST
Walsall '01 - LOST
Villa '10 - LOST
City '11 - LOST

Our record on the big occasion is gloriously inglorious.

[Ian Royal]

Yep.

Bolton '95 - LOST
Walsall '01 - LOST
Villa '10 - LOST
City '11 - LOST

That'll be the same for all but a handful of clubs

[EASTENDER MARKY]

People moaning about other fans standing up and probably a worse atmosphere?

[Winchester Royal]

Yep.

Bolton '95 - LOST
Walsall '01 - LOST
Villa '10 - LOST
City '11 - LOST

Our record on the big occasion is gloriously inglorious.

You can add Wolves '03, Burnley '09 and Birmingham '09 to that list too..

[RobRoyal]

Yep.

Bolton '95 - LOST
Walsall '01 - LOST
Villa '10 - LOST
City '11 - LOST

Our record on the big occasion is gloriously inglorious.

I fecking hate supporting a club that can't even beat Premiership opposition in the quarter-final (having beaten 2 Premiership teams to get there). Rubbish.

[URZZZZZZZZ]

The one time we do get it right on the big occasion at Derby, we have it taken out of our hands at a heart breakingly late stage

Still think we can make the playoffs though.
