How impressed are you with BMcD's return to the club?

[sandman]

Just out of interest, why do you call Robson-Kanu 'Kanu'. It's part of his name, for sure, but it's not his name. Seems a bit disrespectful, if you ask me.

I thought he played really well yesterday, and was part of the reason why we had a good second-half against a good team.

Disrespectful?
This is a player who has one good game in 20 and disrespects the fans of my club by not trying very hard and not scoring any league goals.

How is he disrespecting Liverpool fans?

[Chelsea/Royal]

I see the team trying harder as a unit. I see more positivity from the manager, he changes things when they need changing ( although why he bothers with Piazon is beyond me ).

Gunter is getting forward more, HRK is putting in a shift, and I like the way he is helping Vydra, positive reinforcement.

We had none of that with SC, the man that went 5 at the back against Bolton remember!

!

Wasn't it said that if he plays, Chelsea pay his wages,
if he doesn't play it costs us 30K or summat?

His goals/assists for time played is actually quite decent

[Chelsea/Royal]

Granted, a great free kick against Huddersfield.

Too lightweight for me, and him an Vydra don't seem to work together.

[RoyallyFcuked]

Not very

defo lightweight, but have seen signs that he'll make a decent professional under brian.

[kwik-silva]

His inability to foul that Forest player on one of the counters that lead to their goal was infuriating

Not that I've read. That was supposedly the deal for Chalobah last season though. Perhaps it's standard terms for Chelsea though so who really knows.

Piazon has looked good at times when played in behind Vydra and they link up pretty well. He's a bit too easy to kick out of the game though so I can see the frustration. He's your typical luxury player but without too much of the creativity you hope to get when carrying them.

short memory you have. Quinn and McShane on record saying players let SC down. BM may throw numbers forward when we are getting dicked by average opposition, but he seems unable to defend a lead hence 8 from 21.

[LWJ]

but he seems unable to defend a lead hence 8 from 21.

Which games have we gone in front under McD then drawn or lost? Compared to games where we have come from behind?

Genuinely don't know, but didn't think we had scored first and gone on to not win in many if any...?

[Armadillo Roadkill]

The jury has to be out.

I thought it was a mistake to hire Brian - and nothing has either proven me right or wrong. No miracles, no disasters.

Huddersfield in the cup is the only one I can think of - without checking.

I was thinking Hull (a) but that was under the maestro Kuhl ..

Will they stay patient or panic after 2 defeats ?

Having supported Reading for 61 years and a season-ticket holder probably since before you were born I think I am entitled to refer to it as "my club" and in context with how this topic has gone perhaps you shouldn't be "disrespectful" or are you Kanu in disguise?

Came from behind and conceded a 92 minute penalty.. so really?!?!?!? also wouldn't count towards the 8 from 21

I think it's probably been said on here as unsubstantiated fact, but not by anyone with the least credibility.

So where did we lose the other 13 points ? Point is against Huddersfield we git ourselves ahead and we're still bombing on like a school team, had we parked the bus for 10 mins and hit them on the break we would have won comfortably ..

So he says the players are trying harder under Brian and you counter that by saying they didn't try hard enough under Clarke ?
And also criticise him for something that has barely happened !
I'd criticise Brian for not getting uncompetitive in the first 20 minutes of games but praise him for sorting the issue out. Heneedstofind a way to make sure welly from the start though, we'd significantly higher up the table if we weren't chasing games too often.
