AirRaidSiren Why on earth is Roberts getting so much stick??

Because rather than focusing on important issues, like keeping Reading in the Premier League, he has had his head turned by safeguarding his long term career and fighting racism.

Please, not just one up front. How the oxf*rd are we going to score goals with a loan striker up front at HOME ? I'm not saying a 4-4-2 is the answer, I'm saying that Pogs up front on his own doesn't work. Where else are the goals going to come from if that's the case? And Pogs has only scored five...

Kebe is our Messi I doubt we'll play 442 ever again under adkins, will that mean the end of Le fondre?

Adkins played 4-4-2 every week in the Championship. He's more pragmatic than Rodgers- and even Rodgers used 4-4-2 eventually!

WHY?!? Why do we need another keeper? We lost Santangelo because we already had enough good keepers already. Even Rodgers said we won't need to by another keeper for the rest of the decade... Good to see our priorities Rodgers said that in 2009 ;) We also have enough good wingers, we may as well re...

Robson Kanu - Done a job when picked, started to look the player I'd hoped he'd be, scored goals both in the Prem and for Wales - I hope we can keep him for the Champ next season. Well played son. lol not as good, consistent or hardworking as kebe, or mcanuff this season played less games than eith...

From what I recall Norwich played pretty good football under Lambert, but under Houghton it's a bit more of a work man style. They were quite like us earlier in the season, crazily attacking and outscoring teams. Entertaining, but not "good football" (eurgh, hate that phrase). They were b...

Well if you think about how much Soton got Rodriguez for who was either the top or was amongst the top scorers in the NPC, I cannot see him going for anything less than £6 million. Watford will have him signed on if they go up no doubt about it. Think we should look at options such as Jackson from ...

Gorkss wasn't as bad as people say he way. Neither was Gunter actually, who I hope stays and plays a big part in our Championship campaign. Erm, yes they were. Thought Gorkss was our best player last season but this year he was really shaky. Morrison looked like a rock next to him. Gunter and Cummi...

I'm sorry, but the team in the OP One in midfield

Would like to see the team named by Ian, though maybe with the wingers switched, and ideally with an extra winger on the bench (Obita) in place of Akpan or Karacan. I expect the team named by Divvy.

Nasty, nasty thread. Can you imagine going to the school speech day where all the swots get their prizes and then some poor sod gets called up on stage in front of all the parents to receive ' Thickest Fvcking Student of the Year Award'. We all know who couldn't cut it - but let's be a little graci...

Legs outperformed Tabb. When Leigertwood wants to tackle someone, he tackles them. When Tabb wants to tackle someone, he runs towards them as if to tackle them, but they retain control of the ball. Akpan gets a lot of love because he plays risky passes often and the first one led to a goal. He isn't...

Wouldn't surprise me if Pog stayed, the Zenit story is a non-starter, just need to see their forward line to see he wouldn't get a game (Hulk - €60m? Kerzhakov, keeps Pog out the Russian Squad, Danny €30m a few years back, plus a few others), Danny and Hulk play as attacking midfielders. Pog would ...

So basically, he wasn't good enough for Newcastle in the Prem Yet good enough for Reading in the Prem I take it you'd be opposed to the signing of Edin Dzeko, then? Or Chris Smalling? Or Victor Moses? Just because a player isn't good enough to play every week for one Premier League team doesn't mea...

Reading fans are registered as number 13, so I'll be voting for us! We've sold out at an average of 97% this season for home games, so I think considering the diabolical football this season, we deserve a chuffing thank. :| Genuinely amongst the worst fans in the country imo Would have disagreed wi...

I've noticed it is slightly warmer now than it was this morning. Blimey, global warming eh!

Some crazy overrating in here. This is always the way, we underrate a player, realise we've underrated him, then proceed to overrate him to compensate, then maybe swing the other way (Karacan and Cummings are experiencing this third stage right now). HRK is a very good player but he isn't a Premier ...

Good way of telling if someone is a numpty: they suggest playing HRK behind the striker again and again and again. This started before he even broke into the first team. Ffs, he's an excellent young winger, don't ask for him to be played in a position he's clearly not suited to. I agree with SPARTA...

I generally would prefer a defender or central midfielder to be captain. However, I have no objection to a popular senior pro being captain. I think Jobi is a reliable performer and he seems to be well liked. What else could we ask for? Long term I hope Pearce stays at the club and gets the captainc...
