Re: Back from the sofa - Brentford (H)

Just to add to my earlier assessment - if everyone had the desire of Danny Williams we would be winning these games. He is absolutely relentless, which was summed up by the way he defended near the end and doing the defenders job for them. Player of the season so far IMHO.

Re: Back from the sofa - Brentford (H)

Two good goals (the first one being fantastic) from Brentford. We played well at times. So very good football. The last three goals have come on the left flank which is no coincidence IMO. Our corners were largely poor often only just about getting beyond the first player. Not good enough. Our cross...

Re: Norwich (Home) - Match Thread

Agreed. First 20+ mins before the goal the gap in quality was significant to say the least! Good after that and great in the second half.

Re: Nigel Adkins

I agree with this post. Not because I love Adkins - just because I'm no longer a fickle football fan. And I don't place my happiness on whether we win on a Saturday anymore (which wasn't the case a few years back!). Let the guy have a chance this season and see what we do. Even with the new investor...

Re: Royston worst ever Reading signing?

Worst signing - definitely not. Disappointing - yes. He scored, he assisted, he got us excited with his potential. Compare that to about half of Tommy Burns's seven signings on deadline transfer day or £6m worth of disappointment in Fae and Halford. The list before Drenthe is very long. Omar Daley a...

Love him or hate him you say? Please say if you say if you're latter. Whatever his faults we would still be a Leyton Orient if it weren't for that man buying us in 1990.

Re: The Thank You Madejski thread

Just wish the official site would put something, for the momemt we only have the word of Charlie Watts that the deal has gone through. I heard nothing on Radio Berkshire. Have asked Ady Williams on Twitter if he knows anything. As interesting as ladies football may be , it pales into insignificance...

Re: Blackburn (H) - Back from the game

Think the comments about Akpan are harsh. I've always thought he wasn't as good as Guthrie, but first half today he was actually pretty good. And even though he dropped off second half and made a couple of howlers passes, he wasn't THAT bad. I'd still play Guthrie though ahead of him. And wish Legs ...

Re: QPR Match Thread - Sponsored by Trevor Sinclair's overhe

Adkins just said he thought it was a silly challenge and had no complaints. Agree it was a stupid challenge. Red seemed a tad harsh though.

Silly challenge and he was off the ground maybe slightly, but still a harsh red surely.

Akpan out for the next game. It's probably not going to happen, but he's not been not one of the better players today that's for sure.

Re: QPR Match Thread - Sponsored by Trevor Sinclair's overhe

Apart from shambles for their goal, given that we are away and it's QPR, I'm happy with that performance.
