Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Liverpool 0-0 Plymouth Argyle


Posted at 67 mins


Superb from Plymouth sub Craig Tanner, who leads Alberto Moreno a merry dance on the right and cuts inside before having a shot blocked. That's got the massive away following in good voice!

Re: January Rumours

There is also, apparently, a possibility of Reading getting a loan of an Argentine striker who currently holds an EU passport. Believe Reading4eva raised a "bloke down the pub" thread in this very forum recently which some were quick to dismiss. Perhaps there might actually be something i...

5-5-0 Who needs strikers?

If we're trying to play like a Spanish/Dutch side, why not go the whole way and forgo a striker? I reckon our young central midfield is one for the future and should keep playing as they are, with most of the threat coming from the wings (as is the 'Reading way', and still is today). AAH Obita - Moo...

Strongest XI?

IMO I think Van den Berg and Williams are better as defensive midfielders, so I would prefer this formation than a 4-3-3:

Al-Habsi
Gunter, McShane, Obita
Van den Berg, Williams
Norwood
Beerens, Swift, Meite
Rakels

Re: World Cup 2018

Does anyone know if its possible to buy tickets for an Asian WC2018 qualifying match? I can't find the tickets anywhere (though I've never brought tickets before so I don't know).

Re: Why Should McDermott Have Been Given A Chance?

This level isn't good enough. Otherwise the owners would have got Colin instead. They want someone who will take Reading to the next level and succeed in the Premier league, like we had with Coppell. It was clear that Brian was a Madejski appointment, not to do with the Thai owners (why would they e...

Why Should McDermott Have Been Given A Chance?

The Thais want to go to the Premier League. Everyone knows this. Why should the Thais give Brian millions to spend considering the crap he has brought into the club every season he has been with us (Blackman, Akpan, Kermit, Manset, Shorey, etc). And why should the Thais trust him to coach, manage an...

Re: Thanks Brian!

I swear the Reading fans are mostly bipolar. Whenever we spend money, Reading fans moan about whatever happened to 'the Reading way' of finding unknown talent for cheap. Whenever we go cheap (free transfers, loans, Rakels-like buys) then the Reading fans moan again that the club show no ambition, et...

Re: Thanks Brian!

Dave Kitson, Ibrahima Sonko, Glen Little, Leroy Lita, Brynjar Gunnarsson - all players identified by McDermott. Throw in Jimmy Kebe and Andre Bikey too. So the best players he's scouted are 1 season wonders, players who 'play-when-they-want', benchwarmers and Bikey. OK then As for Akpan, his form f...

Re: Thanks Brian!

Thanks for what? Having to deal with supporters that think it's so easy to achieve success ( without ever having done so themselves). I just don't like McDermott as a manager. I never had any confidence in him. That's all (personally I'm sure he's a lovely guy). Give Adkins back the job for all I c...

Re: Thanks Brian!

The Chief Scout that recruited our best ever team for less than £4m. The reserve team manager that won the Premier League. The first team manager that saved us from relegation, got us into the playoffs, and then won the Championship. No matter how you slice it, the man's achievements at this club a...

Thanks for what? Playing crap football, getting us relegated and generally being a poor manager?

You only like him not because of his actual merits, but because he's 'such a nice guy'. :lol:

Re: CONFIRMED Danzell Gravenberch

Another signing our manager has no say in .What next a signing suggested by the supporters? Suggestions on a post card to the club please. Calm down, Brian's scouting network only extends as far as who we play in the FA cup. I'd rather these kinds of players than Brian's Blackmans or Hope Akpans fr...

Re: Strangely optimistic about next season.

Character which we are currently seriously lacking in. Ok, so you do acknowledge that the serious lack of character in our playing staff is a big issue. You also know that we have a seriously unbalanced squad. So it can't only be because Brian is not a good tactician. The truth is Brian is a brilli...

Re: Strangely optimistic about next season.

Rubbish. Clarke assembled the best team in the division (on paper) during the summer thanks to Thai investment, and got them playing football good enough for automatic promotion, let alone the play-offs. Then something happened, and the morale of the team went south. Clarke lost his job, which was t...
