MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (a)

I know he has to defend his team but some of those post match comments are baffling.

Richardson full of excuses. Tims comments - its Physological. OK thats the managers job to sort out.

Do you think the players are totally on side with him ?

Has he got the wholehearted support of the dressing room?

His personality on interviews makes me not like him much

Very angry 4 points dropped in 1 minute over two games

Poor substitutions

Struggle to see the moitivation he generates to inspire the team

In more positive news, Sean Patton scored a couple more goals for Aldershot.

Terry Bullivant is back in disguise. I'm hopping mad. There was so much optimism last year when we had a load of youngsters taking the team to the brink of the play offs. Richardson is a terrible appointment. The owners have had the wool pulled over their eyes.

Only Bradford city to come next, lost 6 of their last 7 on the road, couldn`t wish for a better fixture than a visit to charity fc.

Could it be the lack of Academy players in the side. Don't think any started today, Dorsett and Kelvin E came on

We have less home grown backroom staff too

Against Bolton I was expecting us to hold on. Today I knew we'd concede, even when we'd entered the last minute

There was booing of the players in the away end. I was one of them. I don't remember ever booing a Reading side before...

Let's face it. Americans know nothing about football.

[MR. CYNICAL]

However painful that was it's ridiculous to call for him to be sacked. If RC really did sack him, I'd be calling for a new owner.

Why?

Posted along these lines in tbe other thread. I’d swap a couple of wins to be watching some of the Academy lads in the side 100%. Two Kelvins, Craig, Wareham, Dorsett maybe even Ahmed and Osho - would far rather be watching these lads each week and I suspect the crowd would be behind them more as well

Suspect they’d look like they care a bit more sometimes as well

A great way for him to defend his team would be for him to be honest and admit that he personally f*cked up!

Just seen the highlights and their goal. Wtaf was that? Where was the defence - like any of them? Horrific.

Had assumed it was some set piece or something

How many teams regularly make substitutions on the back 4. We do it every game. Taking ward and Williams off in the last 20 mins means we have to reset completely. Yes Williams had cramp - well of course he oxf*rd did! I find it baffling he started. He hasn’t played in weeks. The state of the pitch was well known before the game was it a wise decision to start him on such a heavy pitch after not playing for weeks? It’s this sort of stupid stuff that’s on the manager. I mean the guy hadn’t even had a couple of run outs in the reserves before today. He was always going to cramp up and not last the 90. And then we are in the position of shuffling around the back 4 for the last quarter of the game. It’s just shit management
