leon Can we stop sacking managers?
Seriously we need to give the manager a chance, surely?

We could do with hiring one first.
WoodleyRoyal He’s got to go after that.

Sutekh Now official that this season is the worst start to a league season for Reading outside of the PL for the last 20 years or so.

I’d have agreed with you before the Blackburn and Fulham match leon
But he looks hopelessly out of his depth. There are decent managers available. Tonight was as bad a performance as I’ve seen at home

Elm Park Kid Are you guys being serious with this or just blowing off steam?
Because .. . . if you can't handle a bad few weeks then it might be time to shut RFC down as there's no point carrying on. You'll never be pleased.

It's not just a bad few weeks though, is it? It's a bad 2 and a half years... patience is obviously going to wear thinner amongst the fanbase each time.

But Gomes has only had a half decent squad for about 6 weeks?

Gomes got John Swift sent off? Interesting.

Sutekh Let’s hope the club have Chris Hughton’s number, think they should start calling now.

It was 0-1..... We hadn't lost anything.

2 world wars, 1 world cup Gomes backer here.
"We can make the playoffs" neck-sticker-outer here.
Yes sadly I agree we lost the game before Swift was sent off. One could even argue Swift was just generally pissed off at how we were doing.
What baffles me is this was so unnecessary. We genuinely have a very good squad. We stumbled across a good starting 11 and a good system that stood the test of a few games and just needed to be built on. In the words of Greta Thunberg "this is all wrong".
We can easily pull it round. Gomes is the man, and we have good players. My only concern at this point is confidence. It's a fragile thing, and once the players lose confidence in themselves and in you as the boss it's a slippery slope. Big test for Gomes now. Back to basics. 5-3-2 with the best team out but not so crazy with attack leaving defence open. Get some confidence and belief back.
