I have a feeling we might win tonight! Leam and his team have had a week now to work with the guys and get into their heads, yes a week isn't long but enough to get a few basic ideas over to the players. All these injuries may well put us into our backs to the wall mentality which some how we've thr...

Certainly liked what I saw from Osho in preseason (obvs the caveat it was preseason). Pretty quick and pressed aggressively Would like to see some more of him but we’re running out of cup opportunities now Howdy Hound, regarding Osho, from what i remember he wasn't shy to try and take on his defend...

With our medical department getting busier by the week along with this insipid performance today i really don't fancy the gaffer on this one. Normally you would like to drop a few after such a performance, however, he really might not have much of a choice to choose from, so should be interesting. ...

Pathetic and unprofessional would be my summary of that game. Done all the hard work to get a 2-0 lead and looked fairly comfortable and then you stop doing all the basics. Too many day dreamers not reacting to second balls. Standards quite frankly need to be higher.Too many passengers in the start...

It's embarrassing and we're all hurting however, this might just be the kick up the butt these players need and at the right time under a new managers first game in charge! Leam will be suitably embarrassed by this result and knows he'll coming under instant pressure from the fans. He now has the ex...

I’m not surprised no-one remembers him, 1882 was a helluva long time ago. Oops. Either he was a very early player or maybe it was 1982-83 1982-83 Brian Bason was a midfielder previously with Palace and Chelsea. Retired after leaving Reading and went off to run a Cornish pub I think. Maurice was man...

Next up - the 90s 1997-98 January (A) vs Cheltenham 1-1 then (H) 2-1 1991-92 November (A) vs Slough 3-3 then (H) 2-1 This would be quite the draw these days, the Gervais derby if you will. Wikipedia does not record Slough's goalscorers, leaving them unremarked, friendless balls bobbing in a digital...

Pat Earles was the scorer in the Bishop Stortford cup defeat in the mud! 2931 in attendance. Reading team: Fearon, Williams, White, Beavon, Hicks, Wood, Bason, Stant, Dixon, Doherty, Donnellan. I remember the game and the squad well but for some reason i cannot remember the guy called Bason? Anyone...

Some of the negativity on here is laughable, who do these fans expect us to hire as manager after the last decade of mismanagement!! !! It wasn't that long ago when our corrupt football agent (Forget his name) was throwing unknown foreign managers at us and all were losing your minds!! We need to hi...

2010s - yeah, nothing - always in at Round 3 and when you get United three times ... long 2000s - i.e. from 1998 2001-02 November (H) vs Welling 1-0 twenty year gap. NGL, don't remember this, and it sounds dreadful. 2000-01 November (H) vs Grays Athletic 4-0 efficiently done 1999-2000 November (H) ...

Quite a few Americans involved with the club now, i wonder if any of them have connections in the MLS? Couhig mentioned early on in his tenure that he had a shortlist of 3 managers waiting if everything goes pear shaped! We all pretty much agree Ainsworth would be one one them and possibly Bloomfiel...

What was the point in bringing MOM on with only a few minutes to go? Really should of changed things up around the 70 min mark bringing MOM up top and push big Kelvin out wide right in his better position. At least it would give there defense something different to worry about.

We're trending in the right direction and as Clyde mentioned we have played a lot of the current top teams. Over the past few games the football has vastly improved and if the right balance and system has been found then we should slowly continue the upwards trend. A win on Saturday we put us comfor...

Tonight is our game in hand and we really need to take advantage and get the three points needed to take away the pressure building on us. On Saturday against Cardiff they were happy to let us play football and we proved we are a good footballing side when given the opportunity to play! We could and...

Obviously work is a big factor, but I thought it was ok when I went a few years ago. Not as nice as Hartlepool, streets ahead of Wolverhampton. True enough. I think work is the deciding thing, but I have come across a pretty large number of Carlisle supporters down south - more than other clubs the...

This tie has the Harborough Town feeling written all over it! Carlisle will bring a decent loud following from Cumbria and Noel will play a youthful team due to Carlisle being non league and we get pushed all the way and made to look silly again!! We need to pay Carlisle plenty of respect as these g...
