Felt the midfield was unbalanced yesterday making us very predictable, easy to defend against and easy to counter attack. Drenthe, HRK and McCleary all impact players on the pitch at the same time doesn't work as effectively, Williams to start next week instead of HRK. Promising signs but still work...

1) Bolton
2) Reading

3) Leicester
4) Wigan
5) Nottingham Forest
6) Bournemouth

22) Barnsley
23) Blackpool
24) Doncaster

What a squad we have! Having a strong squad should really benefit us in the long run with midweek games. Still need a LB to be understudy to Bridge, a attacking midfielder and an additional striker. Current best 11 IMO; ------------------McCarthy--------------- Gunter----Mariappa--Pearce----Bridge -...

No Fixed Abode New training top?

Who is that?

Don't want to say who I think it is.

Another source from twitter R.R. Drenthe Nieuws ‏@RRDrentheNieuws 2h Familie van Drenthe ontkenden het verhaal, dat omdat zij nooit nieuws rondom Drenthe bevestigen. Details Which in Google so be warned probably every word is wrong translates: "family of Drenthe denied the story, because they n...

Seeing Bridge in I'm feeling more enthusiastic about something like this :lol: Looks like AZ/Adkins are trying to back up their intent.... I think getting Hooper might be a little bit harder to get then Bridge. Wayne who dropped off the radar of Premier league clubs by playing for Brighton making i...

Platypuss Total at the "Brian McDermott" chants though.

They were directed towards a Brian look a like.

Personally see us being compared to the likes of Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves is very short sighted point of view. We have nowhere near as many as problems as all three had when they went down or more accurate just Wolves and Blackburn. Bolton still went down with quite a lot of debt and high earner...

Haag Royal Can anyone tell me why HRK gets a game? He was yet again an embarrasment when he came on.

Reckon I could do better than him - certainly no worse.

Can anyone tell me how this person can string a sentence together?

Extended-Phenotype F/cking shite.

Adkins, come on, play to f/cking win! Make some bloody changes, keep the fight going! Shocking managerial non-display, an insult to the players on the bench and an insult to the fans.

Positive fan then?

Good half. build up play is a lot better and actually putting ourselves in a position to be on the front foot; instead of relying on "luck" football. Just need to be a more clinical in front of goal.

At the moment its all about the performance rather than the result.

1-0 Norwich. We don't do well against teams around us and especially being away.

I am fairly optimistic from the Liverpool game to but too soon to get a big result away.

Feel honoured my comments are making threads. I like the Championship and happy to be back there; don't want to stay too long. I want Reading to succeed and grow, only place for it is the Premiership. In the football league again average attendances have dropped, who wants to see an empty bowl, not ...

I always hear McAnuff shouldn't be captain but what exactly are people looking for him to do? You only see on average 90 minutes a week of him being captain.

That bit of play by the south west corner was exceptional and have not seen anything like that this season. Our passing is improving and when Adkins brings in his own men and has pre season to put in his philosophy of how to play football, its only going to get better and will be able to do it for t...

St. Brynjar Don't tell me you've enjoyed this one?

Overall no I haven't but you have to be a fool to not want Reading to benefit from all the TV money which will be pumped in.

Cringeworthy when Reading fans started singing Champions song... I know I would swap our empty cup for another season in the prem.

LoyalRoyal22 So

Adkins has been quoted today, something like ` kebe is injured, but everyone else is in contention`

So Carrico is not injured then?

Probably still hasn't found him to comment

Ian Royal says it all really. We have a great platform for a great team who should definitely challenge playoffs. IMO two key signings are needed or additions to really strengthen our chances: LB- A young pacey LB. Not sure how well Mills is getting on at Burnley he might not be good enough but good...

Wait... Brian had favourites, who knew!
