Re: BFTG Birmingham

Sooooooooo....Dixey Who should we realistically be targeting (given that Brian is obviously on your hanging list)? He is on my hanging list because he clearly learns nothing from previous mistakes in this division, despite being sacked by 2 sides that needed a different approach to winning games, n...

Re: BFTG Birmingham

:evil: So once again the last 2 victories keep the McDermott fan club wet in their pants but the realists understanding that he is f-----g useless. Absolutely shocking starting line up (given the team that finished on Tuesday) baffling substitutions and tactics that honestly defied belief when you s...

Re: I am deeply concerned.

Following the recent comments about Simon Cox I feel it is the managers fault we find ourselves in this position. I fear if the manager keeps instructing the players to do this the club will be severely short of socks and be asking the supporters to donate. If he asks any more players to work their...

Re: Dellor moaning about Vydra again!!!

Maybe Dellor should ask McDermott about the tactics, 4-1-4-1 with Vydra as a lone striker perhaps not working so why not play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 with Vydra supporting a striker? we played 44(diamond)2 Vs Bolton, Kermorgant played alongside Vydra in a front 2.... or am I missing something? And Vydra was...

Re: Bottle, Heart, Commitment, Guts: "The Reading DNA"

This is what Brian's good at though - building a squad of individuals that make a great team. This squad is not his, there are too many loan players and journeymen taken on by a different manager in an attempt to win promotion this year, which didn't work out and is not like us as a club. He needs ...

Oops - we lose against the Udders and the knives for MaccyD are out again.... No doubt they'll be put back in the drawer if we win on Friday! Keep the faith people! I think you will find that some of us are not fickle enough to change a view of "MaccyD" as you call him, based purely on a ...

Re: Gunter two year contract extension

Jeez Ian Royal, you're usually quite positive. I think the mediocrity is more about the collective efforts of the team. Gunter is one of those players that will be an absolute star once the team develops an effective way of playing based on a 4-4-2 formation. One target man striker with one number ...

By hobnob boo boys you mean those that have an opinion that is different to yours, and can clearly see that Gunter offers us nothing going forward and remains hopelessly out of position on many occasions when defending? Personally I think that he needs a bit of competition for his position to get t...

Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

THE MAN IS A MUPPET! If you're allowed to insult our second most successful manager then perhaps we're allowed to insult you; tomorrow marks 8 weeks (yes, just 8 weeks) since he's returned to the job, any reasonable person would consider his excellent track record at the club and cut him some slack...

Re: How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

I haven't been following HNA for the past few days. I did listen to a bit of Adie Williams and Dellor in the car on the way back from the Wolves game and was a bit surprised by all the negativity. I don't know what the heck it is that Dellor expects or that Reading fans are hoping for. Remember the...

Not sure what all the fuss is about to be honest..... Positives 1. He has scored goals for us so far this season (what about the other 2 when he was shite) Negatives 1. He has 6 months to run on his contract 2. He plays for himself and not the team 3. He sulks like a child when he isn't "the ma...

Re: BFTG - QPR

There was a time when we’d have enjoyed mocking clubs such as QPR for spending vast sums assembling sides full of mediocre, disinterested mercernaries.
