Re: The Magic Number Thread

You can bin the thread for another season guys. Next season it should start from 138 and be updated weekly on how many more points we still need to finish top. Standards must be raised. The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Not sure if this question is right for the optimism thread but I'd be curious to know what Nobbers think is needed to make us a top six L1 side. For one thing, I think we miss too many chances. Fixing that the easy way (ie buy a great striker) is not that likely in the short term. I guess we might ...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

We are 17th. What does that make us? On the pitch we're 12th. And we'd be higher than that if Selles had changed quicker. Yes I agree. I just don't agree with the assessment that most of the teams are piss poor. The bottom 4 are but above that I think there is an interesting mix of long ball sides,...

windermereROYAL Peterborough are still not without a shout of autos yet, 2 games in hand, 8 points behind, they`ll really go for it tonight.

They won't get automatic promotion.

Really not the point of that message

Re: Hob Nob Anyone? player of the season 2023/24

Ark Royal Voted for Bindon and after that miraculous goal line clearance last night he should also win Sonko of the Season.

I think safe to say that after last night, Bindon and Wing aren't going to be losing anyone's votes

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Did anyone else catch Dave Kitson on BBCRB last night. I only heard some of it and I doubt he’s actually ITK, but he seemed very dubious about the takeover and whether it’s going to happen. Like several others from the 106 squad, though, he seemed to have a genuine affection for the club. Seem to r...

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Really need to keep this squad relatively untouched, it can only be a positive outcome. But have to be cautious, the takeover isn`t over the line yet, I wouldn`t put anything past Dai at this point. I agree though, the standard of most teams in this league has been piss poor , there`s nothing to st...

Tbh bar that 2 points in 10 game run or whatever it was I’ve enjoyed this season on tbe pitch I’d take much the same; add an extra 4 or 5 wins and no points deductions or panic sales and I think we’d be in quite a good place Yeah, the shit this season has been almost all owner driven.

Re: Rival Watch

It's tough. I want Vale, Cambridge, us and Cheltenham to survive.

So I guess I want Shrewsbury to lose all their games and Vale probably need the points tonight to overtake them.

I think my order of preference for survival is:
Reading
Cambridge
Cheltenham
Port Vale

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

My tuppence worth! I think that the Americans (as in Wrexham) are attempting to draw locals back to the game, Wrexham has good transport links to both Liverpool and Manchester. How often can they get tickets to see the big clubs and the cost associated with this, invest in a small club with big amb...

In fact this would be my next three teams. Pereira Yiadom, Bindon, Dorsett, Mola Wing, Savage Aze...

Re: Squad Watch 2024/25

Key thing for me now is to give a few fringe players some.sub minutes and maybe a start, not too many at once, but we need to see who we want to contiñue to develop and who we can't rely on to step up next season.. So I want to see at least one 15 min plus sub appearance from the following: Carson R...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

If Vale lose tonight we drop to 4, so if we win Saturday, then anything less than a win from two of Vale, Burton and Cheltenham in every game they have left and its countdown complete, regardless of any more points for us. It would be really nice to finish strong on 55+ WWD or WWW would be a huge co...

Can't remember the last time I saw a Reading side play with such swagger. 15-17 years? Brendon Roger’s Reading v Watford in 2009 Wasn't Bodgers the Watford manager that day? :lol: the 4-0? Yeah just before we appointed him unless Brogue is thinking of a different one. But Bodgers barely won anythin...

Elm Park Kid You can bin the thread for another season guys.

Lino was signaling our throw subtly to the ref who'd got it wrong initially for ages until the ref cottoned on and switched it so the lino could flag properly.
