Re: What's to blame?

Appointing Adkins only made sense if Anton was prepared to back him with funds to change the whole ethos of the club to a more passing style. Reading between the lines this is what Nigel was promised and the basis on which he accepted the job. If we wanted someone to get the best out out of an aver...

Re: BHA (A) Match Thread sponsored by Forster & Caskey

Very sad to see that the greatest manager in Reading's history got butt fcuked at Rochdale, unlucky going out to a team two leagues below him, his tactical genius just failed him for the first time today, lots on here will be gutted. This isn't about McD yeah he did a good job be we moved on for a ...

Re: BHA (A) Match Thread sponsored by Forster & Caskey

We have good players and a good team... so looking at shot stats and our results... your coaching is just not working is it Adkins !. Given we started quite well, we have become very poor, this can only indicate the players don't believe in the coaching / tactics and are also more than likely adver...

Re: BHA (A) Match Thread sponsored by Forster & Caskey

ZacNaloen Sounds like we've spent 80 minutes being awful and 10 minutes being half decent again.

I'd have to say that is on Adkins.

He needs to pick the players up.


He needs to fcuk off!

Re: BHA (A) Match Thread sponsored by Forster & Caskey

The issues isn't not being able to pass but to receive a ball, control it immediately and see the pass before the defender sees it/closes it down; our players lack the technique to do it - so other teams close us down quickly and win the ball easily .... if you close down a very skillful player too...

urzmikep Please Adkins bugger off to WBA, as Zero shots on target once again is just not good enough

Re: Replace NA with who?

More seriously if, as some are suggesting, Adkins has lost the dressing room, then let's get rid of those players rather than the manager. Not many in the dressing room that we would really miss and/or couldn't be replaced. I do not know if he has lost the dressing room. But if he has, it may not b...

Re: Replace NA with who?

I do not want Adkins out. It is like marrying a woman who seems a bit dodgy in the first few months--you do not just bin her for the blonde down the road before she has even had her hair done and bought a new outfit. Anyway, this whole question is more complicated than it usually is, because of the...

Re: Replace NA with who?

30 odd years of supporting this club. Also supplied youth team coach back in the elm park day, sponsored Shaka with a car, Dylon Kerr attended my wedding and I know SJM who asked me to be a patron of the club so I hardly think I'm looking for instant gratification But are you nursing a grudge that ...

Re: Replace NA with who?

Hopefully the club will be where they want to be in a few years and BMcD will have added to his game and with his obvious man management skills I think I'll manage in the PL again and in time I can see him back with us. He's a decent bloke and I'm pleased for him, just a shame he went to bloody lee...

Re: Replace NA with who?

The team is in transition. Ownership all over the place. We have a load of injuries. We are in the top ten. We have potential. We have a manager with a proven track record. We have a manager who has only had one transfer window. We have a manager with a track record for producing intelligent teams ...

Replace NA with who?

I'm not saying I want NA out, personally I'd like to see him backed in January and succeed with his vision of building a team for the long term. However and without exception we haven't played a single game convincingly this season and I can't help but think that he's lost the dressing room. Odd tac...

Re: FAO Pessimists

Not a question of getting a grip it's just time to wake up and smell the coffee. Something is horribly wrong with the playing staff. In 30 odd years of watching Reading I've never known so many injuries, personal issues and phantom sickies. My old man's been watching reading since 1958 and as a pens...
