Norwood is exactly the type of player Brian wants. If anyone suffers from Brian's return it will be Danny Williams, once Tish and Quinn are deemed fit to play. Agree with this. Norwood looks much more effective (and more dangerous) slightly further up the pitch rather than picking the ball up 10 ya...

as an aside Dominic Samuel looked highly effective again on Saturday. I hope that he gets called back quickly and he can form part of our striking team as I think he has a lot to offer. CAM! Samual over Vydra every day of the week! That loan fee is astonishing, let alone the fact it appears to have...

We've got one of the best squads in the league, but there's too many individuals, and not enough team players. BM has a huge job on his hands if he's going to change that, and change it in the short space of time he'll need to if he is to salvage anything this season, and start well next season (bef...

Minor negatives first to get them out of the way. Disappointing turnout and atmos for Bri's return. Disappointingly direct first half... too many big balls forward and hooks over the shoulder. Poor form, being on telly, and actually it's been pretty dour since the Premier League relegation season, ...

3points They even showed some replays on the screen today, albeit about 5 mins after the action took place. But better than nothing at all

You get that when the game is televised live though.

Would McDermott be the first manager to be sacked and rehired by two different clubs if/when we bin him again?

Would be good to go back to a traditional Brian 4-4-2 with width. --------------------------Bond----------------------- Gunter-------McShane----Hector-----Taylor McCleary----Norwood----Williams-----John ------------------Blackman----Vydra------------- I prefer 4-4-2, but this was all Brian knew, an...

Post war Chelsea got big crowds but generally they have not been a hugely well supported team. Pretty average for a top flight side until they started buying success. Pre war Chelsea were getting average attendances of around the 30,000 mark. Sometimes lower, sometime much higher. :lol: Post up you...

McDermott loves a winger, and he made a point about saying what a strong squad he has, so I wouldn't hold your breath about many signings in January. Maybe that Powers lad from the MLS and a bargain bucket signing from the lower leagues. I'm sure John will get a chance in the coming weeks. Fresh sta...

No Fixed Abode

Coppelled_Streets and we don't lose seats.

That's not really an issue is it?

That'd be funny had it not come from a Chelsea fan who's club only discovered regular sell-out crowds when they were bought by a billionaire..

For every Eddie Howe there's a Kevin Keegan. More often than not it doesn't work out, but we can only hope for the best. Personally I feel he 'could' take us up, but I don't believe he'd keep us there, and these Thai's wouldn't mess around, and the first sign of struggle he'd be off again.

1-2

Good player considering he is blind in one eye.

Can't see better than 10th.

The Reading Way wasn't working for us any more, so we changed it up (rightly), only for a twat of an owner to interfere with transfers and destabilise the club. Now we've gone back to The Reading Way. It's hard to see that as a step forward, even sideways, but I do like Brian and wish him all the lu...

Sasima's English has dramatically improved...

Brian's return has been trumped by a new big screen..

Agree thought that it should be on the front of the North and South Stands. Everyone gets a good view of the screens then, and we don't lose seats.
