Re: Pauno out

Is anyone really surprised he is set to stay until the end of the season given our current financial situation? No-one knows the numbers behind sacking him and his coaching staff, but you can bet it is not part of the business plan we are having to stick to. The goal is to stay up, and despite what ...

Re: When we had wingers….

The wing play we have seen over the years with the overlapping full-backs always used to be the Reading way, oh how much we would love to play like that with big AC in the box. The fashion now seems to have wingers play on the opposite wing to their favoured foot, Hoillett an example of this but tbf...

Re: Club 1871 - the What, When, Where, How, Who & Why Thread

I thought c1871 started really well vs Fulham and was so good to hear a prolonged 'Blue Army' which Y25/26 got involved with - also find with that chant it is also easy for the rest of the ground to get involved in and when that does happen it is brilliant. Understandably when you are then getting p...

Re: Andy Carroll

Was told weeks ago that he wasn't going to stay and given the results since then I don't think this will change.

If he does stay I will be absolutely amazed.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Fulham (h)

Really hope we all get behind the team tonight. Focus on 'blue army' chants etc not all that 'pathetic s*x offender' chanting aimed at Mitrovic and others this season from the kids in c1871 (which is still guaranteed to happen unfortunately). Yes it is rough times, but let's get behind the lads and ...

Agree that this new chap Benji seems to be doing a good job and certainly looking to make an impression to our fans on Twitter. Saw he put a survey out last night which he will no doubt will type a story up about. I noticed the survey allows multiple entries from one IP address which means the data ...

Re: Who realistically replaces Paunovic…?

We haven’t got a pot to p*ss with the business plan, so I don’t see we are going to afford to sack Pauno and coaching staff let alone pay someone else to come in. Surely it would be gardening leave until their contracts run out if they were to go? In terms of replacements, obviously someone without ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Kidderminster Harriers (a)

IF it is the last official game we have Carroll (which I believe it will be as I don't think he will sign) then I would start him alongside Puscas, Carroll will help him build confidence playing alongside him. Team for me would be (if fit) - Rafael Araruna - Holmes - Moore - Bristow Azeez - Laurent ...

Re: Pauno out

Reliably informed that Pauno was against the party and told the squad after WBA game no Christmas parties given COVID situation. It was ignored and well, the inevitable happened. Question is, do the players lack respect for the manager by ignoring his advice or are they simply just being young bloke...

Re: January Window

I expect Carroll will be gone in January with imminent return of Joao, EFL won’t pass the deal.

Would expect to see Swift stay so he can get the pick of club and signing on fee at end of season.

Rafael likely to go.

INs - none
OUTs - Carroll, Rafael

Why mid-January? Just guessing that: He will know if he can handle the "football-family life" balance ok (in an interview he said he didn't want to spend time away from his children in Essex and ideally wanted a club he could commute to) He will know if bigger clubs (like Bournemouth) are...

Oh it’s so good winning away. Got off to an awful start with that Moore back pass (only mistake he made all game, albeit a costly one).

Difficult to be annoyed about the performance last night. Always enjoy going to the Den and had some decent results there in the past. The well documented injury crisis is beyond farcical now, we’ve been using the same XI for weeks and as soon as it hits the 60min mark you can see the players are sh...

Re: BFTG Blackpool.

Also agree with others about Puscas. The amount of times he was making a run tonight which was totally wasted as our players refused to play the ball early. In the first half, Swift, Drinkwater and then unbelievably, Laurent all had chances to knock the ball over the top for Puscas who was making a...
