Snowflake Royal What happens if we start badly with the new guy?

royalp-we It’s all just a bit odd. Certainly wouldn’t be so many questions if a Hughton or Howe was the replacement.
It’s an ambitious move and you get the feeling that only a playoff push will be sufficient in the owners eyes.
Ho hum. A good start to the season and all will be forgotten.

Snowflake RoyalWoodleyRoyalAscotexgunner For the first time since Atkins I'm actually 100% behind this guy. I think he is gonna be raise our game significantly.
I think it's a good move by the club. I like Bowen but I just don't feel has has what it takes to take us to a level where we should be with this squad. There I've said it.
I’m glad you did I also have the same view.
Lol both of you have been down on Bowen and wanting him out for months. Don't try this bullshit of "I like him, but this seems a good move"

Loads of people on twitter will whinge incessantly, then we’ll sack him and hire someone else I imagine

From Despair To Where? Heard a rumour that, if true, originated from a player who left the club this summer that there has been a lot of dressing room discontent going back to February.
If true, it could explain the decision to change managers although, it could also just be sour grapes from a disgruntled ex player.

Interesting I saw an alleged Training ground incident Happened between Bowen and blackett on Twitter a few months back in regards to blackett s failure to sign a new contract

Lower West Perhaps Bowen is going to walk. Given the treatment he has received. Hence the lack of communication from the club.
No U23's manager either.
No public sign of new CEO yet.
Squad in Portugal at a training camp with a cup fixture next Saturday. Complete farce.

Jackson Corner It’s times like this I pine to be back at Elm Park, treading water in the lower leagues. At least we new where we stood and life was a lot simpler. 1971 the club’s 100th anniversary, relegated for the first time. 2021 150 years?

The Portugal trip about sums up this club. Who thought it was a good idea to fly off to Europe 1 week before the first competitive game, if the government suddenly decide Portugal is dodgy then the entire first team faces 2 weeks isolation. If that happens do Reading get to postpone the Colchester and Derby games?

WoodleyRoyal No mention of the length of contract.

Lower WestWestwood52 Apparently he likes to keep the ball on the deck at all costs
Sounds rather familiar. We create few enough chances as it is.

Notts Royal It’s the pure arrogance of Dai that gets me...the arrogance that he expects his club to be promoted and the naiveity in how that goal is achieved. Chucking money doesn’t always work, in fact it rarely works in the Championship. It’s a vastly competitive league and it generally takes years of building. Wolves was a 1 off. He doesn’t understand the English game and fires those who do from their jobs. Utter clown

Caught what various journos said about his teams on BBC Berks
Listening to journalistic comment on BBC Berks earlier about Mr Paunovic’s teams the bits I remember were
1. Teams lack tempo
2. Possession style straight through the middle
3. Prefers 4-2-3-1
4. Tactically no identity as the team tries to adapt to counter the opposition
If all that is true then I think Reading are going to have the same old issues in struggling to create anything and the biggest worry is if there is a lack of tempo, as other teams will just eat you alive.
Anyone else catch any other comments about the style and performance of his teams?
Of course, on the upside, if Reading suddenly manage to acquire 6-8 very talented Premier League class players then it all should work out well - shouldn’t it?
