Re: Will Ejaria resurrect before we find a buyer?

Not ready to play. Unforgivable. Stop paying him ( which should be difficult ) and get rid.

Re: CONFIMRED - Relegation

Webster750 Ah, and Paul Ince having a good laugh on Sky Sports to top it off. The guvna.


Best he sticks to punditry rather than something which requires thought and planning.

Hudders got Warnock. We got Ince. Hudders are staying up!

Re: When will Pauno be sacked?

If we keep the same manager we must accept the same ( lack of ) tactics, inability to defend, high rate of injuries and ultimately relegation this season. If it hasn’t happened already the apathy will reach the dressing room and it’ll be damage limitation. Game after game until one of the three team...

We are as good as down!

I read that we needed three wins to stay up ( probably four wins now as I think the assumption was that we’d take “6 points” from the Rotherham game)

So I can’t see us winning any of our remaining fixtures on current form.

Am I wrong?
Which games could we win?

Re: Is this the worst Royals squad ever? Who would you keep?

I think the answer to my first question is easy; I can’t think of a previous team worst than this. Who would you keep? apart from ex-academy players I can’t think of many. Today, at a time when every player should be trying his best to get a result two selfish idiots get sent off. Both of them shou...

Are we really going down this season

this is the fourth season out of five in which we’ve been in a relegation fight. Last season we came particularly close and yet in comparison, at the same stage, this season we are much lower than we were 12 months ago. Of course from this point last year we were particularly bad - dire, in fact - a...

Re: Clement OUT!

Under normal circumstances such a negative post as this would seem premature! However, I was neither surprised or encouraged by the result from Friday’s game v Derby. The style of play may ( thank God) have changed but the quality in the team has not improved. We have yet another combination of shor...

Re: Team for cardiff

Also, Kelly and Swift are far too lightweight in midfield plus Aluko couldn’t beat an egg at the moment so can’t see any point in them being in the squad either. Admittedly I’m not sure who that leaves in. I would play Moore Ilori and Elphick in a back five with Kermorgant just in front as cover. Pr...

Re: Team for cardiff

Gunter should not even be in the squad for this game. He was truly shocking against Ipswich. All the goals came from his side and as well as the weak backpass that led to number 3, for two of the others he did not even track back. Also I don’t want to have him celebrating with Cardiff on the pitch a...

Re: Safe standing progress

For me the main point is Hillsborough.
We haven’t had another catastrophe like it since the change to all seater stadiums.

Re: Relegation Watch

I have Reading on 43 with Barnsley on 39. It’s obviously going to be very close even though Clement appeared to have caused a slight improvement in our defending. In fact I think the defence is looking slightly more robust; shame about the midfield which to a man are all underperforming badly and no...

Re: Worst Team / Worst Manager ever

Now dropped to 20th!!!
At least 9 lost points are due to Stams deliberate fielding of a team without a forward to make a point about the “lack” of transfer funds.
He is responsible for this catastrophe.
The only thing he can do to help is walk.

Worst Team / Worst Manager ever

This is the worst Reading Team ever and Jaap Stam is the worst manager that we have ever had. Discuss! Someone wil have the stats to challenge me but given that he has been allowed to spend more on players than we ever have done I believe that he should do the honourable thing and walk. It is not he...
