Pauno out

[Kitsondinho]

Always thought Bryn would make a very good manager, regardless of whether he knows the club or not. I knows it's only Iceland, but seems to be doing a good job.

Dylan Kerr another ex player who's done well abroad. Less convinced by him in general though.

Dylan Kerr has an excellent record across the globe. He was won a few trophies along the way too. Why not…can’t be any worse than now…

Parky has Wrexham riding high in the National League…so again, why not?!?

Kerr maybe. Party not a. chance. He hasn’t improved Wrexham from last season which given the big signings and tremendous support is piss poor.

I know…Wrexham fans would drive him to us…which is not much of a vote of confidence!!

[Kitsondinho]

Would love to give Joni a chance until the end of the season, with an option to extend

You don't know what you've got till it's gone

They paved the Mad Stad, to increase the parking lot?!

[Winston Biscuit]

He gone yet?

[Brogue]

Not till I’ve got to 100 pages please.

Pauno is an arrogant waste of space. When a manager gets arrogant it's time to go

[Snowflake Royal]

If those three league games hadn't been postponed, do you think Paunovic would have been in charge for Kidderminster?

[Millsy]

If you play a weakened side with youth players you give them a solid spine to play around.

Pauno's spine was:

Calamity Cabral and his first game in months
21 year old Holmes
Drinkwater's first game back
Osorio
Camara
Goalless George

He put two of his more senior attacking players out wide where they could be far less influential and gave us a dodgy limp spine.

No wonder we collapsed. He's utterly oxf*rd clueless.

Can't agree with this at all.

Rafael is not awful. Holmes young but plenty of experience, a first teamer (you now saying he shouldn't start in the league?). Drinkwater I've never been a fan of but against Harriers should be a piece of piss, Osorio I don't know, Camara looked great against derby and by all accounts was decent today too, and Puscas scored.

Not an unreasonable starting lineup when you want to win, expect to win, want to prevent injuries and give some players experience and match fitness.

But he should have been able to get them to win with a decent plan or inspiration. I suspect he just chucked them on and said "try your hardest" or something.

BUT even if you're right and his selection was ridiculous, either way this game doesn't look good for Pauno.

And he's earned himself two more injuries in the process. Yay!

I agree with Ian. Why did we not have some insurance on the bench in the likes of Swift and Carroll? This was always a likely banana skin.
I feel very sorry for Araruna. What a sad day for him and our football club.

Lack of insurance on the bench is a different point and yes I agree with that totally.

But there's no way even that starting 11 should have lost.

This isn't a defence of Pauno it's an attack from a different angle - that lot should have done much better imo.

Kidderminster hadn't played since 18th Dec but they didn't seem to have any issues with fatigue today? Pauno out

[Snowflake Royal]

Sorry, there was just no spine.

Puscas has been poor and sidelined. Drinkwater has been hit and miss and was playing too deep to drive anything forward.

There was a huge hole where there should have been experience to support the youth.

It's why we've consistently been terrible in the cups under him. Because he throws in the youth with no plan, no structure and no proper senior support in the right places.

They don't know what to do, because they're given no patterns of play to make things happen.

They're just instructed to go out and pass until they score. Funnily enough, that doesn’t create anything but slow, cautious plodding passing around the back and middle.

I want Reading to play like they actually want to win and like playing football. Instead they play like they're about to shit themselves and only discovered the game yesterday. That. Is coaching.

As for his latest excuse of young players being devastated at Araruna's injury. I doubt many of them even knew who he was, he's played about 4 games for the club and has been on bed rest for the last 18 months

[Notts Royal]

Pauno Out - had enough now.

But the bigger issues lie above - Dais & Kia out. Sell up guys, sell up before you run this club into the ground

[Y21]

Not been on here for years... but yeah, Pauno out.

[Royal Ginger]

“Worst of all is the impact that injury had, especially on the young players.”

No Pauno, worst of all is a young man writhing in agony and despair whilst the dwindling moments of his career pass him by on a nowhere strip of grass in the midlands.

[Steve_Upper_West]

Not been on here for years... but yeah, Pauno out.

Ditto…

Brian as manager, Jobi as assistant.

Might not be enough to stay up this year but at least you would have some confidence that the rebuild would give a team that had heart and spirit and one that could play for 90 minutes - certainly there’s no way a Brian team would have been so utterly pathetic as yesterday.

[Snowflake Royal]

Reading the suggestions for replacements is like an advert for who can do a worse job than Dai in making an appointment.

No - living in the past. Brian hasn’t managed since he left us and Jobi would just be an emotional appointment

Someone like Alex Neill. Knows and has succeeded in the division. Doesn’t take any shit. Not old.

[Millsy]

Is Kebe (pbuh) free?

Reckon Neil is too good for us.


Genuinely, why would anyone with a decent record at this level come to a club with half it's senior squad injured, a points deduction, a further suspended points deduction, a transfer embargo and a hard wage cap, sliding towards relegation?

We can't entice with money. We could be in L1 next season, no room to freshen up the squad and we don't even have a single senior fullback available.
