The right manager at the right time; if we had waited til summer some other team would have snapped him up. A chance to look at players give them a chance and move n those who don't adapt to the hopefully-new playing style

A shock a real shock maybe the disappointment of the crowd after Villa was the straw that broke the camel's back. We should have progressed after the Sunderland game but did not The MoTD analysis last Saturday indicated a lack of defensive organisation Underplayed some players (e.g. Guthrie), overpl...

Just wished we persevered with the side that beat Sunderland rather than BM tinkering since then.... TAYLOR SHOREY MARIAPPA PEARCE KELLY McCLEAREY LEDGERTWOOD AKPAN ROBSON-KANU McANUFF HUNT If it's pants at half time bring on Le Fondre That's our problem, due to lack of strength it's fine margins Ha...

I don't mind the issue with limited funds and resources but what bothers me is that B McD doesn't manage with enough imagination. Thinking of cricket where we have done so well England choose bowlers to match up to the pitch and the opposition. 4-4-2 all the time doesn't work if you are losing and n...

What a great platform to build on! A few more balls to feet in the next game as Roberts doesn't head the ball and Le Fondre is not the tallest.

It was an exciting game, a great day out and Reading played their very best When I saw the semi final highlights of Swansea v Forest we could see how incisive they were around the penalty area and score high quality goals so I felt that we were rightly the underdogs. Was surprised Kebe started; I th...

First game watched live this season - some similarities to games in 05-06 when it looks to be about 'winning football'. There was a lot of balls hit 'over the top' to the forwards. It wa mighty effective though and good goals scored. Doyle and Hunt stood out on creativity. Duberry seems to arm his b...

Let's learn the lessons - it was no one person's fault....

Look forward not back - Bolton Charlton, Sunderland, amongst others have bounced back after being relegated. If we are positive and stick together we can as well..

Whatever happens will be for the best, I'm trying to convince myself.... Nonetheless I will be a miserable sod for 1-2 days if we get relegated but then decide hey-ho, it's summer let's forget about football.... If we get 4 pts we should stay up - brill. If we get 3 or less then I think we'll go dow...

Accumulate enough points by January to make securing our status for 2010-11 in PL almost certain Then give the FA Cup a good shot - aim for QF At least one academy player getting to subs bench and making regular appearances. If SC is likely to depart, do succession planning to hopefully bring a brit...

My first game since the damp squib of the Spurs FA cup reply and the tepid game against Portsmouth. Things do seem to have moved in right direction... Hahnemann - 8 - good saves, presence in box, distribution erratic - not helped by wind Shorey - 7 - steady Ingermarsson - 8 - developing good partner...

really enjoyed listening to your commentary (informed and humorous!) - hope to hear you again on BBCRB or other radio station sometime soon...?

The third goal Lita scored vs Boro in August. It was bundled in but before then some great build up play. Unfortunatelely MOTD showed only the last few passes

We got as high as we did by drawing relatively few games, being positive and winning them as often as possible. This we did , with Doyle especially managing to put away a high proportion of the relatively few clear cut chances we seemed to create in many games. Next season, we may draw games we may ...

It was a 'nearly' performance. The biggest plus was we seemed to want to win the game. Lack of precision in the final third - it was almost as if we weren't used to playing a side that was poorer than us, after the last few games against the top teams and weren't used to creating openings/putting th...

Is this the same backup side who struggled against Doncaster? At start of season we were worried about lack of strength in depth. Now there are some players who played last night who deserve a look in this Saturday. Great attacking football in second half, best I've seen since Middlesboro

Agreed DLC did ok, though the free kick he conceded in injury time was surely needless and we were all relieved the ball just went over cross bar

Hope I'm wrong as 3 games in 7 days in premiership is asking a lot...but I go for 1-1. Reading will start brightly and Watford get flukely deflected shot equaliser in 80th min...
