10539.4 Miles Away The official site now has the Goal of the season voting open https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2019/m ... he-season/
What I think is truly telling (as if we didn't know), of the 8 goals available to vote on, 1 (one) was from the Clement era, a Swift freekick, and the remaining 7 from Gomes, 3 of them from our loanees.
Got to be Ejaria's goal for me. Great team work and glimpse of what we could be as a unit.

URZZZZ Pretty sure Rinomhota is predominantly right footed but is comfortable with both feet. Think other goals that could have made the cut are Kelly's vs Bristol, Bacuna's vs West Brom and Meite's first against Ipswich. We didn't really have any standout strikes, but lots of "nice strikes". Would still stick with Ejaria against Rotherham for the build up
On a side note, I noticed Jonathan Low published up his ratings for the season

Must admit, I'm surprised by a couple of them. He claimed Bodvarsson was injured for too long and didn't play enough which is fair enough. But then he gives Oliveira an 8 compared to Bod's 4 even though he played less games and scored less goals than Bod. Also think Jaakkola's is harsh, and Ejaria and Barrow are too high (especially Ejaria)

URZZZZ I think GOTS can be split into the actually strike itself but also the context of the game. For example, Ejaria’s goal vs Rotherham was a massive goal in the context of things, as well as being a really nice team move. Same with rino at Norwich. In the context of things, Loader’s goal against Boro was really a meaningless goal (apart from for his confidence of course) so won’t receive as much credit. That’s my thinking anyway

URZZZZAscotexgunner Most Disappointing signing 90% of them.
I mean I'm not to say whether an opinion is correct or not but I'm genuinely interested to work out who the 90% was
We signed the following:
Walker
Yiadom
O'Shea
Eza
Meyler
Sims
Baldock
McNulty
Ejaria
Baker
Oliveira
Miazga
Martinez
I'm not sure who the 90% is in that list personally...

Loanee's are not signings. Take them out of that list and you'll see what's left.

Walker - didn't disappoint. To disappoint, you need moderate expectations. Everyone had written him off before he'd joined so it's difficult to say he's "disappointed" - he's simply achieved what people thought he would
Yiadom - came second in POTS, enough said
O'Shea - same as Walker
Meyler - a huge disappointment
Baldock - I rate Sam, he hasn't been as good as I'd have hoped, but he hasn't been bad. 1 goal every three games and a couple of important goals for us. Below par, but not a disappointment
McNulty - has been a disappointment but when you're not given a run of more than 1 game in a row, what do you expect. A player that has ability that was mistreated IMO
Understand it's all down to opinions etc etc...but I find your original comment slightly over the top

Well, since it's all about opinions , and putting aside the 'But they seemed like a good idea at the time' stuff...
1. Walker - Certainly a disappointment (for me). When we gave him a 3 year deal, you are looking for more. If you knew when he signed his contribution would be what it has been, would you still sign him? As it is, he's likely on his way out already.
2. Meyler - Nuff said.
3. O'Shea - Nuff said.
4. Baldock - Again, when we gave him 3/4 year deal, we were expecting more. Thus, a disappointment, and could also be on his way out already.
5. McNulty - Again, when given 3/4 year deal, we were expecting a bigger contribution surely? Would we sign him if we knew what we know now? Again, a disappointment.
Of the 6 players we signed, those 5 could all be gone this Summer, after just one season. That has to be a disappointment, and surely not what we expected (aside from O'Shea) when we signed them to multi-year deals last Summer. If they had panned out better, would we have needed to get 5 loanees in Jan?

URZZZZ As for the loanees, it's simple, new manager, new plan
by Snowflake Royal » 18 May 2019 19:53
Denver Royal 4 of the 6 - Walker, McNulty, Meyler and O'Shea didn't really play much, even under Clement. Even Baldock, even when fit, wasn't really his full-time every day starter? Last Summer we needed help sooner rather than later. If Clement was in here now, reckon he'd say he was disappointed with how it panned out. If that window had been more successful, maybe he wouldn't have been sacked? Some think it was a close thing when he was, that he was unlucky, etc. Maybe if just Meyler had panned out, results would have been better, and he wouldn't have been sacked. Anyway...
