Agree regarding the Center backs, i would be inclined to let both Holmes and McIntyre go!! they have been with a team on the downward spiral for a while and maybe that losing mentality has got stuck in their heads. I actually think Andresson could do a good job given a run of games in the first tea...
I was mostly encouraged by it tbh, though there were a couple of areas for concern. Let's start with the good: - I liked the way we were setup, which was particularly evident in the 2nd 30 minute segment, where at times we played some excellent stuff, with the two CMs getting plenty of touches and ...
0-2. Borgnis error at RB, another free cross and Holmes/TMc deciding they couldn’t be arsed to mark so free header in the area. Actually a bit disappointed by the last 15-20. Couple of half chances but weren’t as good as the previous hour or so Sums up pre-season really - look half decent without c...
I thought Huddersfield were lots of huff and puff, but absolutely no quality. We won at a canter. Good game to have at the start of a tough schedule, but disappointing to concede late.
Hope Yiadom isn't injured and it was just a precaution.
First half poor - second half was decent Nice to hear Ince praising Camara. Hoepfully will involve him now Agreed. Clarke and G-W both played out of position first half and it showed. They were far better when they switched after half time. Camara was very good when he came on, although their centr...
John Clarke looked horrific. One of the worst displays I've seen in a long time (probably since van den Berg) First half poor - second half was decent Nice to hear Ince praising Camara. Hoepfully will involve him now Agreed. Clarke and G-W both played out of position first half and it showed. They ...
My take on the academy players: Abrefa was OK (fairly quick, so could get himself out of trouble) John Clarke was decent Holzman, Leavy, Tuma and Craig are not ready yet Ehibhatiomhan took his goal well, but could do with a loan spell Jahmari Clarke was decent Camara changed the game, played well Al...
First half was poor, sat WAY too deep and narrow. Second half was better. Long made a difference when he came on. Maybe could and should have nicked an equaliser, but lacked quality when it mattered. Need a few more players if we can find them, a creative player is an absolute must. Ejaria hasn't sh...
Do we have to actually register him as a player? Granted his wages will still contribute to our limit but wondered if that’s why he has no squad number That's where my head was at. Don't register him for us this season and free up a spot in the squad. Highly unlikely he'd be fit and up to speed muc...
THat brings an end to all the whines about lack of left backs. We’ve now not only got one but he’s named after Bob Marley and has a famous great grandfather. Got to be worth 6-8 points over a season. Just Sarr, Mamadou and Fran Kirby to go and we’re sorted ! I know you are only joking about Fran Ki...
Who was the young lad who came on second half and played alongside Tetek in midfield? Looked very comfortable on the ball and was always showing for it.
I had to work today so I couldn’t get to the game but the reports sound promising. Did the left back from Wimbledon look useful? The only position I am concerned about now. Mans on twitter saying he looked decent. Can anyone confirm? I thought so, but by the time he came on, West Ham had subbed on ...
I'd expect that whatever is agreed, retaining Swift, or even giving him a new contract so that we can extract a fee, is out of reach given his current wage package and the level he's currently playing at. But you look at somebody like Halilovic, who has an abundance of talent but who's career has s...
Courtney Friday @cfridayjourno · 4m In other news, please don’t shoot the messenger…. I’m told that as things stand, #readingfc will need to get a player out the door today in order to make any further signings. Believe the club will continue negotiations with EFL to avoid that outcome. You reap wh...
Presumably, any payout we'd have to make for sacking Pauno and his assistants would count against FFP? If so, there's no way we'll sack him before the end of the transfer window as it may prevent us bringing anyone else in. And then we have to consider what his sacking might do to our ability to off...
I'd like to say trust the process, but I'm afraid the current coach has lost me, however.... I do recall a similar situation, where it seemed to me and my peer group that we needed a Striker and we went and signed Leigertwood... and it completely rebalanced our team... Having said that, another wid...
