karbota WOW, Wrexham narrows the gap as Stockport loses to Grimsby. Surely it's got to be Parky.


That ship has sailed

If Ince wants it, it's his.

Players seem to want to play for him, he may even persuade some to stay who may not have wanted to and likely still has some good contacts for loans etc.

My view is he may not be perfect but is probably best for where we are now. It may just be the kind of relationship that suits all parties.

Watching the players and coaching staff at the end of the game (yes! I watched the game on TV) There certainly was a togetherness, Ince and Joao hugging and smiling says it all. It's an in for Ince for me.


We have our club back, thank goodness

Yes loved the passion throughout yesterday, in a strange kind of way it felt like Leicester again, I`m all for giving it to Ince, providing we get over the line.
But next season will be a whole new and different challenge with many of our present squad no longer here.

Ince seems to have given the players belief. If we had conceded that goal in the 90th. minute under any of our last few managers, we would not have scored a winner. Instead, our heads would have gone down and would have only drawn, or even conceded another goal in added on time. Give him a chance to rebuild the team. having worked with the team for a while now, he will know which players he wants to sign a new contract. Sign PInce now, or when we are safe from relegation, so the club can start talking to players about renewing contracts. The players are now playing as if they WANT to play for this club again and want to win games..

Really want to see us win a game by more than one goal before the season ends. That would really seal the already pretty good looking deal. And preferably not against Hull, who have been largely toss this year. Or rather, not only against Hull.

Have we won any game by more than a goal other than the Peterborough game?

And that 2 goal advantage was only achieved in the 88th minute. If Reading have had a 2 or more goal lead in a game before the 88th minute they’ve done their damnedest to try and cock it up - usually most successfully too!

Funny how those who virtue signal their dislike of racism are always the first to mention race

Think we all agree, we want the best manager, regardless of colour, nationality and Parky.

Stranded If Ince wants it, it's his.

My view is he may not be perfect but is probably best for where we are now. It may just be the kind of relationship that suits all parties.


I'm not saying this is note true, but players are also performing for their Championship status as well as futures at the club as well, that probably plays a part. Not to go against the job Ince has done so far, he's been at the helm, but it would be interesting to see how we'd react should we survive and he gets the job full time, that would give us a clearer indication at least anyway of who/what the players are fighting for.

I'm sorry but I find this argument come up time and again, how it is the players who gave stepped it up - not just now but this is essentially a re-hash of the we won despite the manager not due to him, yet when we lose it is because the manager didn't do X or Y.

Ince has tightened up the defence, got us stopping crosses and actually playing like a team. This squad has known all season that they may well move on this summer, if they had performed as they have over the last few weeks all season, then the offers they may get would have been a hell of a lot better.

Ince has done a great job in getting these players to play like team not 11 blokes looking at their next move, at a time when that move is only a few games away. He deserves credit and part of that is getting the players to buy into what he wants them to do.

By the logic of that we may as well have kept VP as the players would eventually have performed.

To be fair to Ince, he's got previous for dragging teams up by their bootlaces. He performed miracles at Macclesfield.

In some respects he's turned us around by getting the basics right. There's maybe an argument that any half decent manager could have achieved the same results but I think you have to lay a huge slice of the credit at his door. He's earned the right to have a shot longer term. For the sake of continuity he's the sensible choice. He knows the players and staff and they know him.

To be honest, I wonder if players like Rinomhota and Laurent have hit their ceiling. I'm not sure either have the consistency to get much higher so maybe signing a 2 year contract here is a more and more attractive option.

again….would he actually want the job? knowing what lays ahead?

Has definitely put himself out there to the L1 Sunderlands of this world.

Without down-playing his credentials here, he has also had the benefit of a Championship squad being available to pick from, (unlike Pauno didn’t have for months).

Yes, give him it…if he really wants it
