It's October. Which is the same month Luton, Blackpool and Wycombe have made a change. And they're idiots You're not a natural diplomat, are you? Luton looks a bit of an overreaction, but then I don't know the full story. Blackpool sit 23rd, 2 wins, 2 draws, 8 defeats. Obvious sacking. Wycombe 19th...

Sheffield United for me. The matches between 2002-2007 were box office stuff. Absolutely this. Gunnarsson's brace against them is in my top three Reading moments. 2005. 22,000 in the Mad Stad. Kenny should have been sent off. 89th minute winning header from one of my top 3 Reading players of all ti...

Jacobson, Carey and possibly Couhig need to get Hunt into an office for a formal review. Give him the standard performance review questions: We’re not where we expected to be at this time of the season. Can you explain why? What are you going to do to change the situation and get us back on track? H...

"The table doesn't lie" is a stock phrase used by pundits, managers etc. It doesn't mean things can't change - like Orient managed last season, but that the sample size of games is big enough to give an accurate account of where that teams is now. You might lose your first two games by bei...

At many clubs, lose this one and Hunt goes. The table doesn't lie by October, and we have the resources to be doing much better. Our current owners are probably a bit more forgiving than that. But patience will run out if there's not a significant improvement. And I doubt very much that improvement ...

This is the time of the season where you keep your job for two reasons: 1 - you are where you should be in the table given your relative budget - in our case, that should be top half, not bottom four. 2 - you are turning around a team but from scratch, and there are clear signs of improvement, even ...

Obviously we got a bit better, but we could hardly have been worse than in the first half. Exeter look like a poor side to me. In the bottom four at this stage of the season is worrying. By this stage the table doesn't lie. We are in trouble. One or two more performances like that and I think there ...

Absolute sh1t.

We cannot connect passes, midfield barely exists, defending not even good enough to be called shambolic.

Ahmed looks OK. And that, in a actual fact, is about all.

Really can't see how we can be this bad.

Ritchie should be able to play 90 mins or else don’t think we should have signed him (though he is obvs doing a job as sub) Again he’s only 36. England have picked a 35 year old midfielder in their latest squad (alright he’s rubbish but still). 36 isn’t THAT old… Riche gives us something we don't h...

RG30 The match is definitely on TV. The 3pm blackout doesn’t apply on international weekends. Will be on red button.

Not listed on Sky's app yet - which they are usually pretty assiduous at updating. Hope you're right though.

The thing is, you can only start eleven players. So you can't start all the players you think have a role to play. So you may have to bring them on a substitutes. Ritchie is already worth his weight in gold to us. A super sub with his sort of impact is invaluable. But he probably can't play a full 9...

The Sky commentator got it right... Excellent in the first half, then Wrexham's extra quality eventually told. Commentator was actually well informed and pretty cliché free. OK game, the result we probably expected, opportunity to jokes about concentrating on the League, won't linger in the memory p...

I liked him. Called himself Pélé. Wasn't his real name.

It's almost like I can't quite believe he was ever real.

And someone I've never forgotten, but I reckon many will have done: Ulysses de la Cruz.

On Saturday, it wasn't going well, Hunt made changes, and it completely changed things. Changing a game through substitutions is perhaps the biggest match-day impact a manager can have, and Hunt got his 100% right against Orient. The commitment of the whole team was absolutely undeniable. Two good t...

Car Park 6 is now back on sale for Saturday, it will be available up until Stevenage at the moment and then hopefully we will be able to continue with it through the season That's great it's fixed for now, and thanks for the update. In the longer term, parking and transport generally is obviously g...

This is showing as not available for the Orient game. Is it because it's already sold out, or is it simply not in operation? If it's the latter, that's a lot of capacity removed with no mention that I've seen, putting extra strain on the already crowded buses, and making life difficult for non-bus u...

Indeed, I think he will be kept. not so sure - get to mid October and we're still in trouble there will be serious questions getting asked. The owners aren't interested in sentimentality and a trip to L2 is not part of the plan. Relying on one player coming back and fixing everything is hardly a st...

I said in the survey I might stay around, but only if there's a viable bus service to Tilehurst available. TVP would take a dim view of me driving, as I'm not going to hang around without a few more pints.

Brogue 5 points from 21. Unacceptable.

It is starting to look that way. Next game is very important for Hunt's future.

Thoroughly entertaining evening out for £12. Wimbledon's second string were pretty good and created quite a few chances. And they absolutely should have had a penalty. Made for an even game. We scored two fantastic goals - a wonder strike and a beautiful, flowing team effort. A lot of effort and som...
