Re: Weekend Football

I'd be a bit more partial to the "its the ebb and flow that happens but in this case happens to be the end of the season" line but didn't they do similar last year where (admittedly dodgy) memory tells me they had a Champions League spot in their possession and lost it to Spurs of all team...

Re: 25 years ago today.....

Was the last time Reading were relegated from the second tier, having lost away to champions elect Nottingham Forest to a late Chris Bart Williams goal. A few mins earlier, Paul Brayson, one of several duff signings by Burns, missed a simple chance one on one to put us ahead. Archie, no longer in f...

Re: CONFIMRED - Paul Ince sacked

Yes but the reality is we didn’t get a lot to pick from and the players who are here on expensive contracts and should be strong players in this division (Joao, Moore, Meite, Ejaria) have been injured for large chunks of the season. Not only have we possibly the lowest wage bill but a big chunk of ...

Re: Olise

We put ourselves into a position with both Olise and Richards where we were under embargo and couldn’t offer contracts (regardless of if they’d have been accepted). It is probably my biggest frustration with the EFL process, as there was opportunity to reduce our debts. However we only have ourselv...

Re: CONFIMRED - Paul Ince sacked

I have every sympathy with Ince, for both his seasons the remit was to stay up. He achieved it last season and would have achieved this season without the points deduction. To that extent, he did his job. I don't doubt we all want to see flowing attacking football but the reality is we do not have ...

Re: Noel Hunt - Welcome to the hot seat

He wasn't mysteriously absent, he limped off injured against Birmingham. Mbengue was limping in that game too. He was still on the bench. Holmes was injured against Preston, played on. Nothing mentioned about Meite ahead of the game from what I saw. All irrelevant. Are you trying to suggest that if...

That’s not to say now he’s not way out of his depth and has failed in a number of aspects - esp sorting out the defence which is abysmal Is the defence “abysmal”? I’m sure that on paper, there’s plenty of worse defences than, take Yiadom - Holmes - Sarr and Rahman It’s a difficult one because on th...

Re: Division one things to forward to……..

Reckon this is a solid 50/50 if we’re relegated Given that almost all of our debt is to the owner, would there be any point going into administration? We've failed to pay the players on at least two occasions in recent years, the chairman has owned two clubs before both of which were dissolved on h...

As we stay-up, we have a lot to be thankful for to the Ince’s for. Like Pauno before him, his hand has been dealt like a foot. ….and yes, it’s shit or bust now Paul, how I wish we could end this season with some of the squad choices that we had available at the start and intermediate stage of it….w...

Re: Mark Bowen

I wonder if had Bowen been here when the business plan was being drawn up if it would have been worded differently? I assume Pang would have had most say in agreeing the plan - if it was effectively unachievable then will he face the wrath of Dai? Pang would have had all the say. It might have been...

Re: Relegation watch 22/23

QPR and Rotherham have a pretty tough run in!!! If, and that's a big if, we can beat Birmingham and get a point at Preston then we should be back above these two and the pressure shift will be right back on them!! This 6 point deduction is over now, it's happened, we know what we did wrong, lets ge...

After reading Mark Bowen’s open letter I am going to try and go to all of our remaining 7 games now and support Ince and the team. At least if we get relegated the transfer embargo will effectively end after this season. The club have tried but it sounds like it was almost an impossible task. I don...
