in the league this season: - with Ben elliott, 19 matches, 9 wins, 4 draws, 31 points, 1.63 points per game - without Ben Elliott, 8 matches, 3 wins, 1 draw, 1.25 points per game I think there are a few reasons for the recent bad form, but this is perhaps one of them. Ben and Knibbs worked well toge...

Sam Hutchinson interview is going to be a corker when it’s released by the sound of things :popcorn.jif: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gnfjjt?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile it starts at around 32.30. it is a corker. perhaps slightly damaging but i also appreciate his honesty and pa...

Worst timing..hopefully good in the long term but why now..

One things for sure, it'll be a long road back falling into the lower leagues. No disrespect to those teams but not many people will turn up for fixtures against minnow clubs like Cheltenham, Tranmere, Forest Green, Cambridge, Accrington, Shrewsbury, Morecambe and Fleetwood. Might be fun being in t...

Think TDB has been a bit unlucky to become Pauno’s latest scapegoat and only good for 5-10 mins at the end He is a bit average but he’ll give you energy and a bit of pace - would have brought him on much earlier - even ht last night Agree..as we have learnt pauno very very rarely makes early subs. ...

windermereROYAL I get the feeling the majority of these players can`t wait till May and pursue careers elsewhere. leaving behind the wreckage of used to be a well run Reading football club.

And behaviour like that abuse just makes them feel this way even more

Wow, no one can say anything on this forum without it descending into bickering. You have all been talking to each other for far too long, like old married couples

Yeh, just to be clear I'm fully behind getting rid of him and the new manager bounce alone should keep us up. I've felt like that since Derby. Trouble is if he doesn't get sacked, what do we do? The general shoulder shrug and acceptance of our situation means nothing will change. Happy to lead some...

Yes the anri pauno chants only really started around 60 mins +. Apathy is the word for it...felt like everyone was thinking "as long as its not as bad as fulham its ok " Away fansstarted to get more frustrated before the end but no real anger,I think most were resigned to this outcome. Als...

There were two banners today in 1871, the "official" one nearer the back and someone's bedsheets at the front. Hope that keeps you happy Personally I think it would be better if pauno leaves but I don't express this in the stadium, as he probably won't leave and I think that going on about...

I have been pauno in up until the past two weeks. Now i think our only chance of staying up is to change our tactics, and pauno doesn't seem willing to do that. Therefore, I am reluctantly pauno out, but I won't be booing him or singing sacked on the morning, whilst he is still our manager I will su...

Danny Drinkwater is going well under the blame radar. He's fcuking atrocious and doesn't give a single toss. Him and swift have been awful since Christmas. They are the ones that are supposed to link up our attacking play buy all they are doing is slowing it down or going sideways. Both have no exc...

Club1871 have been abysmal and pathetic lately No noise against Derby Abuse by the wannabe hooligans Sex offender chants at mitrovic But they still think they are getting behind the club :roll: : :lol: Over to you Club1871... 1. No drummer against Derby so 1871 really struggled, they have got used ...

Yup agree carrol has had a massive impact that is clear to see during the last 3/4 games felt we could have done better today and probably deserved a win but we were wasteful with the chances we got. Yes we all know the ref was poor but Carroll goal against Swansea was offside..it comes and it goes ...

And credit to TDB(?) for dragging the near post defender away to make space for Swift's ball in and to a lesser degree Carroll for blocking his defender. A good set piece ... looks like they'd been working on it. Definitely planned...not sure if it was tdb or yiadom but just before I noticed him te...

Lastly the goal-credit to Swift for playing a double bluff with everybody expecting a cross with Carroll in the box. Even if not at his best yesterday he is still the one with vision and we are going to miss him. And credit to TDB(?) for dragging the near post defender away to make space for Swift'...

Great away game not to sure on the details buy Clarke was a revelation....I like puscas and I don't think he gets the service he deserves but Clarke in the second half was far better than puscas in the first ...

[b]I've heard under good authority that club1871 have installed microphones and amplifiers to enhance the sound to make it appear to the other fans, owners and TV that it is a rip roaring success and makes alot of noise .[/b] It isn't hard to adjust the sound feed of a camera or even have a member ...
