double d I think that the following would go (either would like to go to a better team and could easily play for one, would get snapped up by another team for a decent fee or would just not want to play in league 1 due to being too good/too egotistical)

Mannone - no
Gunter - yes
Ilori - no
McShane - no
Blackett - no
Moore - yes
Aluko - yes
Barrow - yes
Kelly - no
McCleary - maybe
Dadi - no
Beerens - yes
Joey VDB - yes
Swift - yes
Obita - maybe
Edwards - no
Evans - yes
Bacuna - maybe

Others
Kermorgant - No
Mendes - maybe
Jaakkola - maybe
Smith - No
Richards - No
Harriott - No
Quinn - maybe
Popa - yes

Pretty much the entire first team squad and subs could get snapped up by lower to mid PL or Champ teams. Alot with PL experience. Ilori/beerens/VDB/Dadi probably to abroad


The ones who would stay and go from this lot marked yes or no

windermereROYAL Next two away games against opponents with a combined home record of W2 D5 L10 should tell us if we are serious relegation candidates or not, anything less than 4 points would suggest maybe we are.


With the squad we have we should vying for a play off place. Not worrying about relegation.


I don’t think most people are tbf

The performances in the last three games tell me we'll be fine.

We could've done without playing the league leaders after two great results to be honest, would've been nice to have had a middling club at home to keep the momentum going.

True, but we have middling to poor clubs in our next 4 games

I don’t think yesterday will do any harm to the confidence really. Think the players appreciated being clapped off as well, they certainly appeared to

At least showed that the 2 previous games were no flukes.

If we can beat burton twice or get 4 pts (i think they will be the closest team to the bottom to fight to stay up) we will be fine.

Royal_jimmy Just 5 points above the drop and Bolton and Sunderland away in the next 4. If we lose those and fail to win at home in our next 2 then il be very worried.

I'm already pretty worried in that this side struggles to make chances and score goals


Or - Just 8 points off the play-off places with a game in hand, 3 of the next 4 games are against teams 16th or lower, with the team looking in decent form, Wolves result aside, performance was very good. Very good chance to move up to the fringes of the play-off race.

Of the next 4 games, the Sunderland game is the one that worries me a little, they haven't won at home for nearly a year and of course we rock up for their next home game, the first one with the new manager in charge.

Sods law. Weren't Rotherham the only team to beat us away in a year or something last season?

Not really sure what you're on about, but Rotherham and Yeovil have never beaten us at the Madejski.

In fact, Yeovil were in League Two last season.

think DD has completely lost the plot on this one

Villa beat us for their first away win for an age last year, and QPR also beat us at home. They were our only 2 home defeats. We beat Rotherham 2-1. Dunno if that helps at all.

I must have blacked out after 65 minutes of the Rotherham game because I seriously forgot we won that.
