Well this sucks.

Lost my local away game. Derby, Pboro & Barnsley were nearby too.

Loads of travelling for the ding-based fans too, having lost the local games down there.

Going to be a long slog of a season!

How do we know that’s definitely the correct Mark Bowen on LinkedIn? Could be a fake account How does this role differ to the previous one he did? Believe that was Sporting Director whereas this is Head of Football? They missed an ‘s’ off, apparently it’s actually Head of Footballs and Mark will be...

I’m not convinced he’s good enough for the Prem. This season has gone against the norm for WBA as they are usually a top Champ or lower Prem side. Not sure why people think it’s a bad move for him?!

Bigger club, higher wage, more chance of promotion. Win win for him really

Yep this. Looking forward to how the next days/weeks pan out - maybe a plan is finally formulating and the owners know we aren't just going to be able to chuck money at it and hope it all lands one season without planning recruitment well both on and off the pitch - it's not just about who we hire ...

It’s just laughable isn’t it, if true. I’d have thought he’d have more sense after how Dai treated him last time. He did a decent job in both roles & we’d likely be a bit higher in the table if we’d kept him in either position. But it would be a good move & we’ve all been crying out for a DO...

I’ve reached the point of not caring who the manager is, and caring even less about the squad.

I want Kia gone & if Dai’s not going to dispense with his services, I want him gone too.

We want our Reading back

It’s a sorry state of affairs when we’re more bothered about who the agent is than the actual signing isn’t it

Joao is such an odd player. Either feast or famine with him, body language in the last two games has been awful. Got to think he will be desperate to go in the summer. Can you blame him - too good a player to be playing for such a shit team to be honest. Love him to stay as he scores lots of import...

Wonder if the analysis has changed after today then! 1 things for sure, that defence needs major work on the summer. Would like to see us make some tough decisions…I’d release Morrison as his legs have gone. That would be a priority position for me…going to need a new CB & LB. Hopefully we can ...

Dreadful performance but a decent day. Marathon not a sprint. We were good as gone 15 games ago. Everything was from. We have another season of the championship to look forward too. We’ve been consistently outside of the relegation zone though. Maybe we looked gone in terms of morale but not positi...

I think this is partly down to tactical naivety, and partly down to personnel. It’s pretty obvious that Morrison has lost his legs & I think that’s contributed largely to the shipping of goals. As much as I like him, it’s time to cut ties. Holmes is pretty slow too, so when played with Morrison,...

However, still plenty to be concerned about. The Hein & Barker deals stunk of Kia’s involvement and I don’t have faith those ties have been cut. What makes you think that? Why else would we sign a teenage goalie with no experience? Or another winger to sit on the bench when we already had 5/6?

In fact, I should revise my analysis a bit. Last summer’s window was reasonable/good despite the circumstances. The acquisition of players such as Hoilett was good. And the Jan loan signing of Ince has worked out. However, still plenty to be concerned about. The Hein & Barker deals stunk of Kia’...

Not going to sound quite as negative as Snowflake haha but once the dust has settled, I’m sure that positivity people are currently riding on (which I’m not blaming them for btw) will have subsided & we can reflect on what a poor season it’s been. A few weeks ago I was reading comments that the ...

Hate the bloody premature we are staying up chanting when we are 1-0 up after 7 minutes. I didn't like us singing "you're going down" as the Barnsley players trudged off the pitch last week either. The last time our fans said that they stayed up! Showed a real lack of class that…expect no...

Hoilett was excellent on the right against Stoke. Back on the left to accommodate Ince spelled trouble from the start. He's just not the same player. TMac isn't a fullback. Rahman must really be pissing about in training for Ince not to have brought him back. I reckon we need 3 more points to be sa...

Fully enjoyed the end of that game…rare to have both sides going for it in the last 10. Living not too far away, really enjoyed the drive through some stunning Yorkshire countryside. 1st half was a poor performance, the only quality came towards the end when Swift decided he’d had enough of the ball...
