Wouldn't even want Akpan warming the bench (just yet)

The same Akpan that came on against Newcastle when we were 1-0 down?

Yeah thought bar the "air shot assist" he dine very well on his Premier League debut.

How many are we gonna realistically take??

Looks like a done deal...., oh how very disappointing.

Prem Experience my arse.

As a regular at away games, I found the attitude of a minority of our fans was an absolute oxf*rd disgrace. You couldn't wish for a nice venue for a game yet some people treated it like a chance to act the hard men in the abscence of anyone who'd put them in their place

Could not agree more! Who ...

What is he doing coming on here!??

He must be thick skinned......

what we desperately need:

prem quality RB
prem quality CDM
prem quality CM/AM
prem quality CB

we get those 4 i could actually see us staying up baring a good run of form!

if guthrie and jem get back to health and are in the team and kebe stays healthy we could have a good run!

This is what I ...

Midfielder Mikele Leigertwood continues to be Reading’s most consistent force in the engine room this season, racking up a squad-high 245 successful passes in the opponent’s half this season.


1. Consistently.... shit.
2. Force- As in he is not visible on the pitch and the opposition just walk ...

Would be surprised if ALF was up top on his own!

If one up top it's got to be Pog or Roberts when fit, ALF can't hold the ball up and bring others into the game, the lad is a goal poacher.

If only it was that easy.......

Bottom at Christmas and staying up...... Didn't West Ham do it the year Tevez scored against Utd at OT to win 1-0?

Trouble is we haven't got a Carlos Tevez.....

Infact I have been thinking for weeks now we will be bottom at Christmas. That league table makes us look very lonely tonight.

In all ...

BM is making a fool of us all over the Guthrie situation.

It's really pissing me off.

SOLD OUT?

Interesting that Guthrie is supposedly back in training from this morning, and knew he was going to be back 5 days ago.

That's pretty much 4 weeks to the day he was dropped (and this thread started) and before he then picked up his injury . If I were a conspiracy theorist I'd suggest that he was ...

Maybe Warnock had the right idea shipping out Gorkks, he clearly can't cut it at this level.

This is not a harsh comment but a truthful one, he has been below average in nearly all our games this year. I see now why he was off loaded.

This is now becoming a strange saga with Pearce nowhere to be ...

As it stands....

Even with 3 pts tomoro we will be still in the bottom 3.

Shit they are starting to pull away......

That 6th goal still bugs me after seeing it about 10 times, why was Arshavin allowed to run so far with the ball, morrison should have cleaned him out .
nice to be a part of history though, that game will be shown again and again.

Can't believe no one else has mentioned this!

Thought it was ...

I now feel compelled to go after last night.

I bought mine Monday morning was lots left then.

Too many IF'S and BUT'S.

We were 4-0 up.

We were 4-2 up with 80 seconds of normal time remaining.

We did LOSE 5-7.

This is unforgivable. Nothing to be proud here. If anyone wasn't embarrassed by any of this then Shame on you.

So many opportunities to close the game out by players and management ...

I think with confidence he will improve vastly.

Trouble is since he has signed for us he seems to be shot to pieces.

He looks nervous to me every time I see him.

Not to be singled out for shipping 7 goals but the fact Gunter allowed the ball to bounce in front of him for the final goal was absolutely criminal.

The backroom staff aren't doing their jobs in training because the defence has been shambolic all season.

He didn't let it bounce, he just ...
