HoundMillsy Ok so we’re saying our players are shite. So that gets Ince off the hook then and presumably means we’re Bowen out instead? Just checking.
No secret that I like Ince, but I think we do have fairly decent players and am disappointed that we can’t play in a way that gets the best out of them. Our game plan is lump it to Carroll and hope Tom Ince’s hard work pays off.
Nope not Bowen’s fault - remember we’ve had no budget to play with and the likes of Hendrick were prob as good as we could hope for. And tbf the experience of the likes of Carroll, Long and Ince has won us points.
From the state of the trialists we had pre season he did well to get as good as team as we have. It’s still crap though

tidus_mi2 I'm personally just sick of seeing us lump it to Carroll, who normally wins the ball but no one follows it up. Also fitness levels appear to be diabolical because anytime we have a chance of a break, we're just jogging up the pitch.
This is going to be a massive international break if we indeed get a point deduction, it'll be the final time to regroup for a final push.

NathStPaul Agree with Hounds views normally but can't on this ocassion. A better manager would have got a better tune out of the group we have and a better director of football wouldn't have appointed Ince in the first place.
Its hard to be hyper critical of Ince, he will likely keep us up. If that was his remit then job done but good god does this club need a major reset and imo that starts with Ince in the summer. The whole place is just stale, it is a dead club in every respect. Stadium is dead, players are going through the motions, the connection to the town and community is at an all time low and I'm now seeing people who have never missed a game deciding they will no longer going to games.
The football offering from Reading FC has to be pound for pound the worst in English football when you add up everything together. Personally I've gone past being angry about it or sad, I just no longer care about the team I've supported for over 30 years.

Bowen came in after Ince didn't he?
Ince was appointed by whoever the non-entity mouthpiece of Dai is iirc.

Fair point, not entirely certain on timings. Hard to keep track on the amount of shit decisions made at the football club in the last 5-10 years.

Not asking this to be rude, but I'm just generally wondering.... I've watched every match this season (I live abroad so have a video season pass), what is it you like about Ince or enjoy about Reading being managed by him? Genuinely, just want to hear why!
