I know i would trust Brian to deal with this transition of new signings over the summer more than anybody else.

agreed.
no one better.especially since finances will dictate we lose the loanees the high earners, and replace them with youth players and lower league punts,

'there have been promising signs' what exactly? he stopped the terminal decline we were in, dragged us safely into midtable, made the defence more solid, instilled some spirit and cohesion, some stability in selection, got us playing some nice football on occasion. id give him a C- over all, given ...

The Real Sandhurst Royal Brian McDermott will get 8-10 games next season to show what he can do.

If he fails to improve the team and the way we play he will be collecting the P45.

id give him till december, but agree generally
and that's as it should be. he knows that

Just out of purely personaly curiosity, can you both just clarify, once and for all, that you are excusing Matej Vydra for that 94th minute miss from 6 yards last night? nope. was a poor miss, from a player who looks mentally shot (and has been all season) If Rakels was fit id have played him last ...

Sorry pal but you're wrong here. Dellor's job is to report on what he sees and provide an opinion. The Dellor/Gooding partnership is much like good cop/bad cop where Dellor moans and Gooding provides the professional opinion. He's moaning about stuff he knows is stupid/wrong and creating pressure i...

That miss last night was ghastly, absolutely terrible and it's cost us 3 points. The guy has every right, in the heat of the moment, to call Vydra every name under the sun. I dare say you'd shout worse from your seat. The fact that it isn't the first time either makes it all the more frustrating. V...

was at it again this morning..... Had a go about Brian saying he didn't see the incident with mcshane and Williams, and said he was doing a wenger despite in commentary him being the one to point out to mick that McDermott was still remonstrating with the ref over mclearys 'head injury' and didn't s...

Tbf he was very, very defensive

Dellor stuttered into an attack on the vydra miss, and from then on brian got very defensive, wanted to talk about the game(or the bits of it we played really well in) said he didnt see the Williams Mcshane fight. And said no when asked if vydra was mentally shot.

...that's what he or any manager will need to reestablish the Reading way. Thats what I find most odd, when he took over from Coppell he kept re-iterating the 'Reading way' which was wingers, width and crosses. Never heard him say anything like that since he's been back like he's suddenly forgotten...

Lower West

Maneki Neko

MeMeMe Agree. I think he's lost the dressing room too.

Based on wiliams squaring up to Mcshane?

Or just the general shitness?

.
Wasn't right earlier in the season. Blackman was so obviously not up for a lot of matches.

Zactley

Yep, thats the options. Cox or a Rakels who is just back from injury.and Cox played.

People are idiots. Hes taken over a team that was shot already.we all know this,we watched it happen, we know the team is imbalanced and mentally weak,we know our two top goal scorers were sold,we know that half tje team are disinterested loanees and players who are off in the summer, we have no ide...

MeMeMe

starbug After listening to that interview, McDermott is a dead man walking.

Agree. I think he's lost the dressing room too.

Based on wiliams squaring up to Mcshane?

Or just the general shitness?

I understand the frustration, we all feel that,but He just had a go about the reaction from brian to the bust up,yet knew damn well that brian hadnt seen it. Then Moaned about who was playing, yet admitted there werent really any other options. Then he said he woukd t publicly berate a player if he ...

Current fan on air saying that we shouldn't get on the back of the players because it doesn't help and there's no point. At Elm Park the south bank was always on the back of players and alot more vociferously than at the Madejski and as a result the players gave everything because they didn't want ...

sandman We lost to the top team in the last minute, sack the manager!

We're not Real Madrid we're not Barcelona" but some of our fans seem to think we are.

Sense of entitlement is off the entitlement scale.
Measured in tamtrums.

Lol at his ridiculous breakdown tonight.

Vydra is shot though.that much is true.

Awful finish to a game we had battled back into tonight. If vydra scores its glorious. But he didnt, and unless Rakels is injured. Or there is financial reason to keep playing vydra/interference from owners Brian has to take responsibility for playing him again. And id like Danny Williams to be deal...

No Fixed Abode Nearly every week there's an 'overreaction' on here. It must tell you something. Things aren't improving at all.

yeah, every week. & its you overreacting
