I'd agree he's not likeable which contributes. If he'd said after Vale that the second half wasn't good enough and we're going to work on it on the training ground this week, I think it would have helped a bit. I get he needs to defend his players, but there also needs to be accountability and stand...
I think it's quite insulting to compare this team to McD's team, but I think that team is probably closest to what LR would ideally emulate. But it had Kebe and McAnuff which we don't have anything close to. Kyerewaa is an early day raw Kebe, but still a long way off what he was by 11/12, and he's i...
Over 10 years of disappointment and anger is hard to get out of your system, especially when all you've known for about 20 years is higher tier football, and you've got the expectation that now Dai is gone it's all sunlit uplands, easy promotion and winning every match. Society is generally much mo...
Anyone know any Wigan fans? Perhaps they can shed some light on what the football was like when they were winning promotion from this division 4 years ago. I note that when he was appointed at Wigan, in November 2020, he took them to a 20th place finish in that season so was certainly a less than c...
Cmon he’s taken us from 20th to 7th. You didn’t call that iirc We had an incredibly lucky Christmas period where we won many games we had no right to win. We are in a false position at the moment, and i expect us to finish around 12/15th Dunno. One thing I’ve really noticed this season is most stri...
Maybe one for the "Richardson Out" thread, but I'm not at "Richardson Out" yet, I think it's still too early. However, I predict I will be by October, and he needs to prove me wrong. At the core of it is that I don't think he has the right philosophy or outlook on football to rea...
Trying not to be too emotional after 2 96th minute equalisers in a week, both of which were utterly predictable and utterly deserved. But all I can say is that if you want to go down this pub football route, you either get results to justify the means or you fcuk off. I know we've climbed the table ...
Our goal shows we can put good moves together when we're playing well. I have no idea what's going on with these 2nd halves - Richardson won't be telling them to give the ball back at the first opportunity, he was screaming to try and get pushed up and bring more control to the game. It'll be a mix ...
No more than Bolton deserved, they were the better team throughout. what`s more concerning is the fact we`ve conceded 40 (15) shots on goal in the last two home games. That is outrageous :| Next home game Bradford, expect it to rise significantly. Bradford are beatable. Dominant at home, average aw...
What the ******* hell do you call that shambolic cr@p of a half Leam? Teams like Bolton, who've been there or thereabouts for several years now would always be the litmus test of where we are as a team in this league. Whilst I'm not trying to be a LR apologist, the team needs a player up top to pro...
Even if you want to be cautious, you need to have more composure to keep the ball and relieve pressure. We had so many opportunities to take the sting out and we always just gave it straight back. Savage was the worst offender, including the attack that led to the equaliser
What I love about the goal is the confidence. This is a striker in the form of his life, he just takes it early with power and conviction. Bang. No chance for the keeper due to the power. This form won't last forever, but for now just enjoy watching a Reading striker playing at his peak
