F*cking EFL - they seem to deliberately string out the process and hit us at the last moment. IMO their claims to care about the club are absolute crap. They are very definitely not fit for purpose. Football doesn't just have an ownership problem, it clearly also has a governance problem. Doubtless ...
Think we heard lots of positive noises in the autumn and it turned out to be hot air. Skepticism and pessimism is my natural standpoint now. It could be that things are positive behind the scenes, or this could just be noise to appease fans and hold off protests. Totally understandable. Protests ar...
Some right melts overreacting to today. It was a bad result and bad performance, it happens even to the best team in this league. This squad must be out on its feet after such a packed schedule in February. Respond with 4 or 6 points from Carlisle and Wycombe and all is fine. Agreed, On a level pla...
Seen a replay of the first. Button can definitely save it. He takes a step towards the middle of the goal when the shot is taken, meaning he can't get remotely close to it. Must be time for Pereira soon? Will watch the replays but felt well positioned to see from East Stand, and currently don't agr...
I'd been thinking Mbengue has big potential, but after almost two seasons and at 22 bit concerned he's still making some crazy stupid decisions. But Dorsett looked like he could also make an excellent foil to Bindon, pre injury. Savage is improving nicely and still only 20. His decision making may ...
https://twitter.com/SellBeforeWeDai/status/1760242356958204073 Edited highlights: @SellBeforeWeDai We are going to postpone the London protest. There are two reasons for this: 1. Logistical 2. Strategic I assumed it wasn't going to happen on Sunday with the lack of update before now. It's obvious t...
Credit where credit is due. After the debacle of the earlier part of the season, I felt he should be got rid off and maybe bring in Noel Hunt to manage the team. Hwever, he has learnt how to get the best out of his squad and - importantly - has got a positive mental attitude into the players. To me...
Crossed my mind last night and seen it being commented today but with PA belting out "three little birds" last night at half time - is that a sign? Also, impressed how randomly everyone else joined in to sing. Three Little Birds has become a really popular thing to sing at loads of footba...
Crossed my mind last night and seen it being commented today but with PA belting out "three little birds" last night at half time - is that a sign? Also, impressed how randomly everyone else joined in to sing. Yeah, I thought that too. It was a bit random but one of my favourite song's. I...
From the Port Vale forum: I agree. I wish we had an owner who’d put some money in like Daii Yoonge. I don’t know what Reading fans were moaning about. That squad of theirs is chock full of players who earn much more than ours and they were still paying Andy Carroll 15k a week until about October. O...
I expect having the ball slapped out of his hands at Pompey may have factured in to his thinking. It was a shit punch, but I'm not outraged he chose to punch. He was going through a crowd. I think we may be talking about a different occasion because I don't recall him going through a crowd on the o...
If we go on a run and look safe with time to spare, surely it has to be worth giving CBC a run? There is a lot of risk changing your keeper when the stakes are high (see Scott Carson England in 2007), but Button simply isn't very good and can't be the long term solution. But perhaps CBC could be? I...
This bloke on the BBC Berks commentary is superior to Dellor in every way. Weirdly I was thinking the exact opposite. I couldnt stand the pronunciations of Afeez, Mbengway, and Mawla. He also got way overexcited a few times when a shot went miles over / wide. Whereas Dellor and Gooding still comple...
Just a word on Button, what on earth was a doing punching that ball at the end there that my gran could have caught if she was still alive? simple catch into his chest, and they nearly scored from it. I lost it and called him all sorts of names at that point (doubt he heard though!). Had we concede...
Depends what you want I guess. Do these far flung second and third generation royals get to many games, or is it more of a follow online kind of arrangement? I just think if you're planning to go to games then logistically, practically, financially, common sensically it just has to be local otherwi...
Absolutely dire performance especially in the circumstances; as usual none of the best players on the pitch were in a Charlton shirt (Azeez, Wing, Yiadom, Smith...)....we have no leaders, no quality, no personality. None of the new players have improved us whilst our supposed starboy May has scored...
Another big game on Tuesday night, particularly in terms of momentum and given where Fleetwood are in the league. As it's as good as a 245 mile single trip, I'd be interested to know how the team/staff will approach travelling arrangements. On the day or tomorrow afternoon given the crackdown on ov...
What can be said? Apart from the first 10 minutes, that was complete domination and a well deserved 3pts, bring on Fleetwood! Another big game on Tuesday night, particularly in terms of momentum and given where Fleetwood are in the league. As it's as good as a 245 mile single trip, I'd be intereste...
