Defending a lead is fine. Being dynamic with the press is fine. Counter-attacking football is also fine. Standing off a team for three quarters of a game is just suicide. There was a delay to the game at one point in the second half where LR got to chat with all the players and I thought: good - the...
The problem is, when you don’t have any real control on the ball up front (Doyle is too weak, Danny K’s end product is a coin flip, our left-side is in flux and as much as I like Marriott he doesn’t seem particularly impressive when it comes to holding the ball up or link up play), there just isn’t ...
Clung on there. Terrible management to think standing off and sitting deep for 50 minutes would yield anything other than conceding. Extra moronic considering how weak Peterborough looked in defence, particularly their sketchy keeper - I had him down for making more clangers in the second half, but ...
And they were liens! Simple fact is that we don’t know the full story - in fact we hardly know any of it. Calling Howe a leech and various other names is not warranted. Tbh, I don’t care. I don't really care how legit the amount owed is, how much Howe has tried to get it by other means. He's trying...
Done some reading, yeah, there’s something potentially serious in here. In Reading FC’s case, Mr Howe has reportedly obtained a County Court Judgment claiming he’s owed almost £100,000. This CCJ is a critical step — it proves the debt exists in the eyes of the law, making it much easier to justify ...
Lower West Nigel Howe has timed the move to perfection. Effectively blocks early transfer window activity.
This was my worry. Funny how the filing happens just before the transfer window. Does a winding up order put the club under an embargo? I’m guessing so.
Shame about the wobble in the middle of the second half, we just stopped playing football for some reason. Took some spirit to win a game after losing a 2-0 lead, though. Quality goals as well. But

Such a good ball from Williams through to Kelvin - but hats off to the latter, quality control with his chest and such a skilful finish, hitting that ball on the bounce.
The quality is there. Just need to unlock it more often.
Better. Not particularly special, but better. Midfield seems to be a little more cohesive; we actually seem to have a bit of shape and control in the middle and Kyerewaa and R.Williams look decent on the wings. Someone said Doyle was crap but I think he’s been alright. Just need to keep the quality ...
I don't think LR should be sacked, nor do I think he will be. But he has been extremely disappointing and lacking in any sort of redirection. I really don't see the point in someone new coming in and doing little different. Some people, probably smarter than I, have pointed out some subtle changes t...
Was the Perfect opportunity to move Wing up into Doyle’s position, take Anyoneelseisabetterman off and bring Fraser on with Marriott. But no, Leam wants to maintain the “pass-the-ball-in-pointless-circles-until-we-lose-the-ball” formation and continue the obsession with rotating fullbacks.
Midfield was our biggest failure under Hunt this season, and Leam has made oxf*rd all effort changing it up. I’d like to see, though expect not to see, ….Marriott…… …….Wing………. Fraser…Savage Throw in any wingers we have really, though Danny K an obvious starter. Just please don’t play Wing deep anym...
Sounds like it was a good match to miss. In the cold light of day how bad was it actually? I think what is most disappointing is that LR has come in and failed to fix or even address the problems in midfield. It needs a complete overhaul, not LR whispering in Lewis Wing’s ear “get forward a bit”. I...
Elliott was a bit poo, then had some good games, then got injured, then in absence elevated in people’s minds to masterful creator of goals. Handy player, made of tissue paper, who I don’t think is the answer to any question beyond “which player wouldn’t you risk playing in a drizzle”.
