John Madejski's Wallet I actually quite enjoyed that game. Pace was exciting at times. We had our chances (they had more tbf), and fukk me WiFi should have started.
We are what we are. A very inexperienced team trying to build something.

But yet this is what most of the fans wanted, a younger team. It’s just a shame they lack quality and maybe a bit of confidence at the moment. Too inconsistent, not just game-by-game but in actual moments in games as well. Needs to improve.
Yeah and rather than crying about it should realise that it’ll take time - not 2-3 games - to come together.
Don’t like the excuse but we’re missing big players as well in Wing, Smith and Ehib not being fully fit. Then Ballard, Mukairo, Ejaria who may or may not make a big difference
I thought we did ok. Made some chances, Cambridge didn’t really create a lot outside of set pieces.
Lack of quality on the ball at times was disappointing but I can’t say it’s a huge surprise
I thought we were passive throughout really, with a couple of spells where we threatened, but not much other than that.
They should have been in front inside 60 seconds and missed an absolute sitter from virtually a yard. The team that won was the one who created the better chances and eventually took one. Our best was the mass gathering in the box in the first half, which should have been a goal. But if both teams took their best chances tonight, we’d have still lost, it’s not as if we were unlucky.
Wing and Smith will be important, but there was enough, more than enough to deliver more tonight and beat Cambridge. I know people say give it time for them to develop, but lets just hope they don’t go the same way as Azeez seems to be heading at the moment.
Royal_jimmyNathStPaul You only win small penis contests.
You'd be a champion then
blythspartan Well that was very poor, hoof ball to two diminutive forwards didn’t work. Again, we lose by the odd goal and make the other team look good.
I am looking forward to the international break and I hope Selles can use the time wisely. I’d still like to see us sign an experienced striker or midfielder. I’ll still give it 10+ games but this isn’t working atm. Not sure why he brought off Elliot tbh. I hate to think what a decent Bolton team will do for us in the next game.

Is there more than enough? It’s a team of u21 kids. Cambridge are a steady league 1 side
Abbey, Carson, Savage, Eliot, Ehib, Vickers, Azeez prob have less than 50 games between them
The experienced players we have except Knibbs are basically cast offs
It’s the way we’ve chosen to go mainly due to Dais uselessness. It’s clearly going to be tough - thinking we should just turn up and win games like this is nonsense.
It’ll take time and patience
WestYorksRoyal Need strikers fit. Vickers and Azeez were not suited - a couple of decent balls in where nobody was attacking it. Ballard, Kelvin E and Smith will help us improve.

Considering they barely survived last season I think you're being generous to them.
windermereROYAL So if Dai doesn`t put the 125% in by next week we could be bottom. defo bottom 4.
Gunny Fishcake This isn’t really bad yet, we’ve a long way to go before we hit rock bottom , big question is where do we go from there, when ever that may be, it really is very sad

I think we're close to the bottom. The recruitment this summer has been the best in recent memory and aligned to how the manager wants to play. We've barely had a pre season due to off field chaos, the squad are still getting to know each other. We have 3 strikers and we only had one 50% fit.
It was always going to be a slow start this season, but we've seen signs of what we can do. The past 2 games are disappointing, but things take time. I'd also note that we've already played 4 of the current top 6.
Next up are 2 tough games against Bolton and Blackpool, so I expect more crazed reactions if we get a bad result there.
But I think we will turn the corner this season, finish strongly and kick on next year. We need to hold our nerve and see the process through. Or we can go back to the managerial merry-go-round and rely upon the new manager bounce to keep us up each year, until eventually it doesn't.

Selles set the team up wrong from the start.
Two shortish inexperienced players up against Morro and the other Cambridge bloke were never doing to win aerial balls put in (occaisionally) in from the flanks by Carson & Co.
CountryRoyal God Twitter really is full of gimps. People that think one of worst teams in the champ gets relegated and become world beaters. The team is so young and learning, we’re going to have results like this. I didn’t think it was bad, mostly, but no clue why kelvin didn’t start. I don’t like hutch or Azeez, Carson doesn’t seem ready and I don’t see the point in putting dean in if the “experience” doesn’t help us at least see out games. Rather we started Bindon.

WestYorksRoyal We didn't play our game. Seems like they rattled us. Perhaps that Millwall performance was possible in a half empty stadium where the fans didn't care.
I'm not panicking yet as I never expected immediate promotion. But we need to use these 2 weeks well ahead of Bolton.

We might turn a corner but the midfield that starts should change. Savage and Hutchinson don't look great as a pairing. Feel we lack balance in the team. We don't concede lots which is positive but is that because we've played shit opposition or because our defence is genuinely good?
We lost to a really bang average side tonight, and to be fair to Cambridge they deserved it. We're shit and need to improve and quickly.
