Norwich - back from the game

[MmmMonsterMunch]

Perfectly acceptable performance from a very workmanlike team that is slowly finding its way in the PL and gradually becoming more difficult to beat.

Support? Don't make me laugh.

Look, it is what it is. This is your team, your players and they are doing the best they can - your condemnation of their, and the manager's efforts are utterly shameful.

As is said most weeks, if you cannot keep supporting and appreciating what they do, win, lose or draw, when the effort is there as it certainly was today, then you really need to find another team to follow.

Hear fcuking hear. What do people actually expect?! As for the tw@ts booing at their end don't bother coming - those players gave their all today.

Another point on the board, still in touch & onto the next game. Yes we may well be relegated but it's not over yet.

Perfectly acceptable??? Perhaps it is you who should find another team to support - much lower down the league structure.

If the team are doing the best they can, then the manager hasn't done a good job in putting that team together for this league. And at present the manager's efforts simply aren't good enough. It's not unusual as organisations move onwards and upwards that employees who have served them so well at lower levels sadly can't perform to the standard required. The really successful organisations are those that recognise it and do something about it before it is too late.

[Royal Lady]

If those players can't see themselves that they're struggling and realise that there are better players out there who would walk into this team, that's their problem, not ours - we want the best players we can get, managed in the best way we can. Anything else is disrespectful to the fans who pay a lot of money to watch this current shower of shite.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

According to Reading FC on Twitter, Brian said "The players are disappointed because they want to win, but they shouldn't be - these are good times for Reading" - GOOD times? I'd hate to see what he considers to be bad times if that's the case. Brian, god love him, is losing it - and criticising his new chairman on the radio is really NOT doing is prospects of staying in the job too good at the moment.

That was definitely a rattled Brian in that interview and first time this season where he had a dig at the fans!

I hope it is bloody true that we have identified 11 new players because this shower of shite aint gonna help. Disrespectful
Brian to the ones we have got, er don't think so!

Good I am glad he had a dig at the fans. Booing at the end is shameful. Those that did are IMO utter pcunts.

[Man Friday]

We did compete. They gave their all. Can't believe or understand the negativity on here.

He deserted RFC for Windsor and Eton years ago and look what happened to W&E!

[Royal Rother]

What do you all expect? Virtually no money spent and we have a team of tryers who are giving their all. We have had 6 draws and could easily have also drawn at West Brom, Chelsea and Liverpool - but we don't have the spark to win games yet.

I cannot fault the effort and most had a reasonable game today. However, Legs had a mare today - whereas I thought he was very good last week. I lost count of the number of times he gave the ball away. Apart from that everyone else huffed and puffed and gave their all and a point is a point.

Norwich came for a draw and got what they came for.

Good man. Why tf do 90% of Hobnobbers lose all sense of perspective when thing aren't going well?

Pathetic.

Because they are twats?

[Royal Lady]

At least we haven't deserted them. We still go and pay our money and we're entitled to our opinion and if some of us think we should be doing better and that some of the players aren't up to it, then we'll jolly well say so.

Has it not occured to you that just perhaps this team punched well above its weight last year & is doing so again this year?

He has got a f*cking cheek if he had a go at the fans after overseeing today's shambles. IMO the fans were incredibly patient and a lot more supportive than McDermott perhaps deserves on the basis of what has happened so far this season.

Whilst quiet in the first half (where was the famous 'up and at them' attitude from the team that McD talks about?), they did start to get behind the team in the second half and did so right through to the end, when there were a few boos at the final whistle.

[Big Ern]

Utterly shite game, painful to watch.

We never looked like scoring and totally inept of ideas going forward. and still a little vulnerable at the back. Norwich had the clearest chances inthe game, and depsite all our 'huff snd puff' we were let off the hook by some poor finishing Norwich's part.

Only Roberts and Shorey looked competitive in the game and the central midfield is woeful. Tabb, despite his hard work offers us nothing going forward and Ledge was poor today. Brian seems seriously out of his depth and lacking ideas. I like BmD a lot, and I am all for giving managers time, however when it is so obvious he is seriously struggling at this level, we should consider whether we can afford to keep him in sito much longer.

If, by some miracle, we can keep in touch with 17th by the January, we will have to spend serious money to give us a chance of staying uo, however will Anton trust BmD with more money after his poor close season transfer record..I have my doubts.

[Royal Lady]

And why should we settle for that? Yes they did punch above their weight imo, but now we're here, we could at least give it a bloody go - and I'm not for one minute suggesting we spend millions of pounds on average players - but I cannot believe that we cannot afford better than some of the players we have playing now.

What did McDermott say about the fans? Y25/26 had a Brian McDermott's barmy army chant going for a solid 10-15 minutes in the second half. The atmosphere wasn't that bad in the second half considering the quality on display.

[mr_number]

We're clearly lacking a couple of players at the moment, as everyone has identified. Not winning today was a big disappointment, but we're still in touch. A real optimist would point out we've only lost four games. We've got a base, and we've got to hope that we get that win soon - a couple of wins and everyone will feel much better. Realise that a lot of people can't see thosee wins coming, but we've been fairly close on a number of occasions, all it takes is a little more quality, a little more luck, and we can get going properly.

And this season after the entire squad left, and we had to play a bunch of kids and shipped about 50 goals in 10 games, winning 1 point in the process, I still went to every game and applauded them on and off the pitch.

That's what supporting a club is all about for me.

You guys? Support? You're having a fcuking laugh.

So why the f*ck are they being expected to do so and why has McDermott appeared to have wasted so much of the money he was given on players that don't fit in with his desired style of play?

And why has AZ joined the Madejski school of big talk and little action?
