The Mental Health Thread

I moved to Reading in the early 70s at the age of just three months and my dad took my to my first game at the age of four at Elm Park. We lost, but ever since then I have been addicted and despite moving away in the 80s this is my club and I have followed through thick and thin. I don't get to go a...

Re: CONFIMRED - Paul Ince sacked

We have now sacked our manager immediately after playing Preston away twice in two seasons. Assuming a once per season sacking for ineptitude the odds of that are 2116/1.

Right decision. Feel for him as he was dealt impossible cards this season, but at least make a fist of it.

Re: Rival Watch

Think Hull are back in it tonight. Two points from the last five and six losable games after Peterborough away at the weekend. Posh will have a new manager/first home game bounce so I can't see them winning there, then it's West Brom (H), Brum (A), Coventry (A), Luton (H), Huddersfield (H) and Boro ...

Re: Player arrested

In a world 9f social media on an issue like this people will jump to conclusions. Worth noting that the police need sufficient grounds to arrest, so there must be a basis for their suspicions.

Re: Player arrested

Wycombe Royal As the player hasn't been named for legal reasons, I would suggest that his name is removed from this topic....other forums I go on have all removed his name from any posts.


Name is widely available in the media now. Take your point, but it's no secret.

Re: Rival Watch

Not posted for an age. Proud of the season compared to what went before. Ultimately too many games where we dominated possession but didn’t press home the advantage and couldn’t create enough. Wycombe away, both games vs Birmingham, Coventry away spring to mind just from what I saw. There will be ot...

Re: Next Manager

Chris Hughton "smashed in" to 15/2 with the bookies - clear second favourite.

Means cock all tho as it's such a small market that a bet of even £10 can cause a big up or down movement

** Edit - Mark Bowen has just appeared from nowhere at 9/4 **

Re: The League of 4

Looking at the trends of form over the last 10 games Ipswich are averaging 0.5 points per game, then Rotherham on 0.6, Bolton 0.8, Wigan 0.9, us 1 point per game and then Millwall 1.2. These figures are unlikely to fluctuate considerably between now and the end of the season. Transposing those form...

Re: The League of 4

It's easy to become paranoid when you are down at the bottom, but the realities are that after 30 plus games the table doesn't lie and that the teams who are down there are there for a reason. What that also means is that those teams - having been bobbins for two-thirds of the season - are unlikely ...

Re: Are we really going down this season

This goes all the way back to the Russian guy with no money and the signings of the likes of Royston Drenthe. Good money has been spent on bang average players brought in as short term fixes by various different managers and the result is the current bloated squad full of players who (many of which ...

Re: Clement sacked!

Wrong decision IMO as inherited bloated and injured squad and has never even had the likes of Obita or Harriott to select. Paying for previous poor acquisitions. Only major gripe was that he couldn't wake the squad up from the Stam tedium into any sort of an attacking unit. List of usual suspects be...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Queens Park Rangers (h) sponsored by Michael Meaker

Did our players have balloons attached to their boots? Every ball to feet that wasn’t misplaced just bounced up or away.

No width, no pace, no confidence, no creativity. Made qpr look like Brazil. They won’t have an easier game all season.

League 1 ahoy!

First time in a long time I’ve actually found my self laughing at the telly. Was almost like Naarwich just waited for us to score to start playing again.

This is the worst squad for 20 years.
