Wow. Brave move. Gonna look daft if it doesn't work. Think it's a little too drastic but fair oxf*rd if it works Don't think anyone can complain if it doesn't work, as it's pretty much what everyone was calling for. Very brave, shows he does have some balls at least. Really hope it pays off. I mean...

Yeah, solid work there.

If we get a decent hit rate on these signings we have the beginnings of a cracking squad that could grow into real challengers at this level and above. Or at least nake us some money.

Ehibhatiomhan has started well, but his head dropped during Peterborough and he went missing and he disappeared again against Vale after a bright start. We haven't given Carroll the service he needs at any point since his arrival, and he doesn't fit the high energy high press of Selles. And he hasn...

Brogue Do we think managers team selections are ever influenced by fan pressure?

I really, really, hope not.

100% does. But only a little and takes more than a week.

Up top, losing Smith was a massive blow. Ehibhatiomhan has started pretty well I’d say, some encouraging performances. Knibbs has been solid. Azeez poor so far. Vickers good but very inexperienced Feels to me there is less there to ‘fix’ than the defence. Confident Carroll and Ehib will score given...

Just like Pogrebnyak , Carroll is an excellent player, which the management does not know how to use! Now there's a player who is in the conversation. The signing that arguably started our decline. In terms of talent, he isn't. In terms of cost to the club, he most certainly is. Signings is surely ...

Getting Lucas Boye vibes. Great on paper, clearly has something about him but doesn't adapt well. Equally you could argue Boye wasn't used in a system that suited him and we could get more out of this guy. When Boye was here any system that required him to be able to play a 10 yard pass seemed to n...

Will give this it's own thread as it seems to have legs. Being linked with 20yo Chelsea midfielder. No first team appearances for Super Chels, but has played one game for Cameroon. Very highly rated there, and talk is they'd be after something similar to the Savage deal, with a hefty sell on + buy ...

Seen that Blackburn have an interest in Tom McIntyre but no deal is close yet. It’d do him good tbf I honestly think the best thing for both Toms career wise would be to move on asap Agree. I think it would be best for both parties, recoup a bit of cash for both and change it up defensively for our...

Seems like a very Reading signing. Flexible forward without a clear position or great scoring or assisting record who doesn’t seem to have played much for a while and has no experience in England.

morganb Big Daz W again:

Reading have enquired about Swansea centre-back Brandon Cooper, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Forest Green.

Would rather have Bradley Cooper.

Would rather have Tommy Cooper.

Smart lad is that Pep

I worry this team still thinks it only has to turn up and pass nicely to win games, and until we realise we need to actively go at teams and work hard all game we won't be getting any results. I'm not sure anyone at RFC realises that you have to have a game plan on how to win, to win. And that Ince ...

On just thr one showing so far, so way too early to judge, I'd still rather have given Andresson a go and held a more experienced keeper signing in my back pocket for the end of the window. Jury out on Bouzanis.

I think you’re somewhat missing the point. Armed forces save and protect lives and preserve society generally. They also undertake a great amount of work in providing help and saving lives overseas; all often at great risk to themselves. I think our refuse collectors do a great job but unless your ...

Unless he walked I don't know how we could ever afford to sack him anyway, silly point notwithstanding. It's only a replacement that would cost. :wink: From a certain point of view we've had 135 quality minutes, 45 ok minutes, 45 poor minutes and 45 dire minutes. So he's actually more good than bad...

That second half looked no different from all the other dross we’ve seen in years go by, only difference is the opposition was even worse than usual, and we still couldn’t lay a glove on them. I thought the tedious passing round the back was different to last year at least. No better than hoofball ...
