Harpers So Solid Crew But we aren't mid table, we are relegation fodder, though would need to lose every game really to go down.

ZacNaloen We looked a lot better earlier in the season when the academy players were closer to the first as they were at least giving it a good go and trying. But there's something rotten in that first team and it needs a good clean out imo. Reminds me of the end of the coppell era when the team fell apart due to back room issues.

I expected us to finish the season in better shape than we started and to be rebuilding for next season.Ian Royal I'm always amazed to see anyone say they expected anything above midtable this season, even with a decent start and better summer transfers than expected.

So not relegation fodder then. Roll on the summer when hopefully the over-paid egos all go, and they are replaced with younger, hungrier players with a point to prove, and whom want to be here. Even if it means another season of struggle, I'd like to be able to bond with a Reading team again. It's been a long time since that happened!

“The reason I got the job was the team wasn’t functioning very well under the previous manager.
“Results weren’t very good and I don’t think that much has changed. So it probably says a lot about the squad we have just now.
“Can I pinpoint it (what’s wrong)? Yes. But it’s not for publication.
“I know exactly where I want to go in the summer. But the summer takes care of itself. We’ve got seven games left, hopefully eight. That’s all I’m focused on now.”

AthleticoSpizz I have really enjoyed the rise to this level that we have now apparently "slipped from"
Can barely remember a season since when Pardew took over that we haven't been involved in something.......(promotions/play-offs/relegations/narrowly missing out on play-off places) it's been great.
For the times before that?...........well (with the exception of the 13 wins and the Simod) a simple 13th place finish in the "old" division one was the best that we have ever achieved, you just had to be there.
As crap as this season is, a season of mediocrity with an FA Cup S/F has kind've been perversely enjoyable.
Chill down cocksuckers

Good post, well said. Our newer fans have been spoilt.

Ian Royal I just hope he's able to deal with the problems and they're not handcuffed to us. Makes further mockery of the 'it's all Adkins fault' argument.

Tony Le Mesmer since we moved to the Madejski, we have had 13 seasons in the football league, with 13 top half finishes. Our worst finishing position in 10 championship seasons is 9th. finishing positions 11, 10, 3, 2, 4, 9, 7, 1, 4, 9, 5, 1, 7.
Yes, we've slipped, but from a great height.
