We were crap last season and in the PL under him. We've now got new owners, made 5 supposedly great new signings, and have essentially the same squad as last year, and we're still crap. Especially defensively - I fail to see why ownership issues should excuse the fact that our defending has gotten ...
A good manager would sort the defence...its that simple It's not the defence per se it's the lack of any defensive support in front of it, leaving it badly exposed, that's the issue and this is largely due to the horrendous catalogue of injuries going on and on and on and on at the moment. No calls...
@JemKaracan4 Hi Jem, hows your turkish these days? http://amkspor.com/2014/03/14/galatasaray-premier-lige-gidiyor-272509/ are Gala buying us? #readingfc It's worth a go.... :? Just in case people are interested in a real translation (Since i speak fluent Turkish) The article basically claims that s...
What are the strengths of this team now then? We no longer have any aerial threat, we don't have a bruising CM ala Ledge who can clear up the mess. In addition we don't have vintage Kebe or Jobi to put good crosses in / take a man on either. Many of the strengths we may have had in Brian's era we d...
Think It shows that when we abandon the game plan, i.e last 25 against Wigan and last 10 mins today we actually look dangerous. Why don't the players have the guts to tell Adkins where to put his idealistic ideas of how to play premiership football in the championship and just go out and attack. If...
It doesn't sound a big thing, but not having a Left Back is killing us. No overlaps, prevents the wingers from moving inside and creating shooting positions, but most importantly we cannot defend from that side. Adkins: "It doesn't matter which side a full back plays as a full back is a full b...
Phil Parkinson. He would bring some organisation and backbone in to this team. Only a matter of time before someone brought up the Parky option. Ok, please explain, what Parky has achieved in his management career, and then compare it to Adkins. I don't think its always what you achieve in your pas...
Extend Sharp and Baird Realistically we need four players, LB, CAM, CB, FAST STRIKER What about Theo robinson? Looked very dangerous against us, had bags of pace and made chances out of nothing by getting the ball and actually running at the defense rather than waiting there like most of our strike...
Dont want to destroy any dreams of a rich arab buying us but dont you think the most logical reason the youth football guy from Oman was visiting us was due to our youth football development programme we have in Oman and the fact that Omans number one goalkeeper plays for wigan? just adding two and ...
