First post in ages, first away game for a while. Utterly dire, fortunate to get a point. The style of football is predictable, lacks any creativity, urgency or excitement, boring and most of the time pointless. Today was that bad, I would have felt the same even if the points were stolen. Too many p...

Excellent win. Wigan were largely poor and RFC dominated throughout. Good performances from Blackett, Swift, Kermie, McCleary. Mom for me, Swift. He got forward a lot, often beyond Kermie, a real threat throughout. Blackett lasted the 90 and was solid throughout, good in the air - most of the limite...

Clarke should get a chance. He's dissappointed to-date, but he inherited this shower of shoite. The points return per game is horrendous. We are in a downward spiral. No question. Where will it end? Can Clarke do it? The most painful part is that most of this squad think they're good players. They a...

First away game for a while. Short trip from the Lake District. Terrible game and first doubts on Clarke. I realise the limitations imposed on him and what he took over. However, this was dire. This squad needs major surgery, the basics are poor. Get rid of the wasters. Clarke's reliance on old pros...

A thoroughly miserable experience. Today was the day I turned into the people I laughed at after plenty of this rubbish at Elm Park. They'd leave early, muttering they'd had enough and wouldn't be back. Ever. To say it was totally dispiriting is an understatement. The players had no heart, no desire...

Not great today. Possession aplenty in the wrong areas and no cutting edge in midfield. Very few chances created. No lack of endeavour, just outplayed by Burnley, who who were quite impressive, especially the front 2. Actually to still be in with a shout going into the last 10 minutes was something ...

Great performance, lots of heart, passion, unity - lots of positives. Feds - despite people saying we were battered etc. That wasn't really the case. City didn't really threaten that much, I expected the Alamo but it didn't turn out that way. Only one real save of note. Did some good work, distribut...

This whole thing is over done. Oster is OK, nothing more nothing less. Some are making out he's too good for his team mates which is utter BS, some are saying he's crap. He's somewhere in the middle and is doing a job but we all know we need better. However as a squad man he's.......err, well.....OK...

I think it's time to go negative. That is to set the team up not to lose and be more defensive. I think this might increase our chances of nicking something. All those who say it doesn't matter how many we lose by have it wrong in my opinion. We're already one point worse off because of GD, it could...

Big decision soon Mr Mad - lack of quality, lack of tactics & lack of investment. Look what Megson & Bruce are doing for Bolton and Wigan - relegation now looks likely as Coppell and Co have no ideas how to stop a losing run. His team selection made Bolton look like Real Madrid. Haven't pos...

I'm not quite sure how this topic morphed into a discussion about the attributes, attitude and actions of our man Leroy but such is HNA? world. Back to the original debate. I liked Seol. I think all clubs at this level need and can afford to carry one player who might be described as a dilettante, ...

if your talking about past players making it into our team why not go with the obvious one and say parky in the middle with harper. but in answer to the original question yes an in from caskey could easily make it untill we sort out our midfeild and use it as our strength again You're deluded if yo...

No! He has a job here for life as far as I'm concerned. If we go down so be it I can't think of anyone else who would be able to get us back up with the tight purse strings he has to work with. Exactly!! This is a wind up. Job for life or as long as he wants it, irrespective of how this season pans...

I know we dare not challenge God ... But, why oh why was Convey not playing when all RFC's recent success has been down to outstanding wing play. Fae ain't a winger. Why was it left so late for Convey to come on. Why didn't Kits start. Doyle is right out of sorts. Who honestly thought the pen was g...

We won't miss sidwell at all will we :roll: We wouldn't have lost either game 3-0 if he'd played. A full back that doesn't want to be here, no right sided players, the worst midfield in the division and strikers that don't strike. Apart from that, alls good. That is a horrendous result today. AP - ...

We shouldn't over react to this, today a better sharper team won. I always thought that this was going to be a difficult season and I think it's likely that we'll be the relegation mix. The great team of 2005/6 is starting to break up but tht was always going to happen. However on the positive side ...

A few things that naff me off on this thread. The biggest is how players become better when they're not playing. SC's comments show how upset he was and he doesn't normally use excuses. Luckily there are no lack of effort, not fit to wear the shirts comments, the players gave what they had. We are a...

Seol was extremely poor yesterday. I am not a fan but was really hopeful of seeing a change, anything would do, improvement in just one facet of his game. I said 12 months ago that he was not a Reading type player, he is a luxury. Luxury players can be a good thing and allowances can be made. They m...
