Ian Royal P!ssed Off Ian Royal Why are so many people unhappy with how we're doing, seeing as the majority are getting what they expected or better?
Reasonable replies to Ian Royal's question.
Ian Royal Wah wah wah. We've had a couple of draws and losses.
CLOLassic Ian Royal
What reasonable replies. We've gone on a short run of disappointing results. Something that is part and parcel with the Championship. Particularly a mid-table campaign and even many play off campaigns. Regardless of what people want to see happening (and we all agree we want to win most weeks and get promoted), reality dictates we need to have realistic expectations given the resources we have at our disposal.
Now if we can stay in touch with the Play Off lot for much of the season, we've all seen how a good run can catapult you into genuine contenders at the line.
The thing about works in progress and mid-table sides, is that they are inconsistent. Some times they'll perform as intended and sometimes they'll under perform.
All we're getting is the usual toys out of the pram when things don't automatically go our way. It's Brentford, we're better than them. Well no, actually. Right now we aren't. Get used to it and you'll enjoy your season more and stop putting such a downer on it for people who do have realistic expectations and a sense of perspective.
You got upset after 3 or 4 people on the internet answered
your own oxf*rd question!
Utter mentalist.
Though I completely understand your general point. A poll was indeed taken in July 2014 when Reading were the only team in the division to have not signed a player and were facing looming administration due to numerous failed takeovers. This poll suggested Reading fans expected a midtable finish.
Having indicated in a poll in July that I expected a midtable finish, it is now completely oxf*rd unreasonable of me, or anyone else, three months later, to state dissatisfaction at losing 3-1 to one of the worst squads in the division. It's completely irrelevant that we've since signed 5 new players and the takeover situation has been resolved. The poll was taken, and it is final!
Can I invite anyone who does not wish to express a positive opinion about the state of affairs at Reading FC to kindly oxf*rd off. This forum is intended to keep Ian Royal happy, and you nasty people are ruining his experience!
