Maguire First half I thought we competed fairly well but the quality of the final ball was desperate. Especially when you only have one up front, you simply hace to deliver good balls. How many good openings did we get where the winger failed to beat the first man, or looped an aimless cross beyond the far post?
Second half was clueless, not a lot more to be said about it than that.
Oh and the Leroy love-in was fcking embarrassign too, but i'm going to find somewhere else on the board to moan about that. He was claiming the first goal by the way, so may have notched twice.

leonrfctabs My first game today for over 10 years. Drove 100 miles each way. I agree that the match was poor from a RFC point of view and it reminded me of the darker, final days of Mr Branfoot and the sucession of poor/cheap/underqualified replacements we had.
There is, however, a common thread to the really poor performances - they're all AT HOME!
Why is that? Is it because going to a game has never been the same since they sold Elm Park? No - most of these boys probably never knew that EP even existed.
Is it because there's a jinx or voodoo curse on the Madejski or the club? Unlikely - I doubt anyone else cares enough about RFC to bother.
Or is it because the crowd are constantly on the backs of THEIR OWN players for the slightest thing? If I was on the pitch and was subjected to the same level of barraking and abuse as they get FROM THEIR OWN FANS then I'm not sure I could be bothered either.Stevie G I thought us fans today were patiently awesome
What's that then - waiting quietly whilst doing something amazing? Can't say I noticed.Stevie G showing real class with Lita
I Like Leroy too, but I wouldn't want to encourage him to play even better than he was already, even if we weren't taking a beatingStevie G and real humour with the ironic shot cheering at the end.
Absolutely - how better to prepare the lads for the next home game?Stevie G a better final irony than booing would be to sing again 'where's the money gone'
I'm sure that will make them all feel valued and deperate to play their hearts our for us all next time.
Why not try SUPPORTING the team instead of UNDERMINING it?
I think you're absolutely wrong. The home crowd has been acually quite supportive. we haven't won since january...not sure how such "great" fans like Leeds , West Ham, Newcastle (no sorry they're mugs) etc would have coped

Royal Lady So....how many RTG's/BR groupies do we have left now??? I can only count Royalee and winchester_royal at the moment and possibly Sun Tzu who rarely makes a criticism.

Royal Lady That's very true - but how can you possibly still think we've got a great team and BR is great - that's what surprises me more than anything. You have to be realistic and at least admit that things aren't looking very good at the moment.

weybridgewanderer We have tried the "be positive and give the team your support", it made no difference.

Have we? I must have missed that.
If you mean "be positive and give the team your support by keeping quiet and not booing" then yes I suppose we have.
