bracksroyal10Visionbracksroyal10 no other team would of given up a lead that big take a look at the bigger picture.
I think you'll find the team we played last night did, not so long ago. They also conceded 8 in a game not so long ago and I remember everyone saying how their manager had lost the plot and had to go. They finished 3rd.
Last night is on McD because he really needed to change formation in the 2nd half when we were put under pressure and didn't. However some people need to get a grip here. We were going to struggle this season regardless of who our manager was and McD has certainly made mistakes but we need to have a long hard look at ourselves as a club if the bloke that has given us so much with so little to work with, isn't given every chance to prove he can repeat the feats of the previous seasons.
Yeah point granted but theres just going down 8-0 and having an absolute shocker against one of if not the best in England (Man Utd) and then theres having a 4-0 lead and losing 7-5.
I can't believe all the people defending Mcdermott on here. Why are people content with going down to the Championship? We surely want to push towards the best level that we possibly can be at just like every other normal club. Otherwise ..... whats the point and why should Anton bother investing in a club that is happy to sit at the same level because quite frankly SJM might as well stay on as owner if thats what the majority want to do.
Ok it was only the co cup but if im one of only a few that feels embarrassed after throwing away a 4-0 lead and then losing then something is very wrong with the general mindset of some of our fans. Don't get me wrong I expect us to struggle it was never going to be easy but all these people saying I am happy with Championship football?
I can take a loss but its the way we have lost matches and thrown away 2 goal leads that I can't stand. What are the players supposed to think psychologically the next time they are 4-0 up against someone because lets face it that game will be in the back of their heads the next time it does happen.
perhaps that's the problem Reading have had only ever had 3 sesons of top flight football that some fans are so used to mediocracy that they accept mediocracy as the norm the attitude of some posters on here having a go at others because they have criticised last night shambles is baffling to say the least .
