Re: MATCHWATCH : Hull City (a) sponsored by Nigel Adkins

Yiadom beaten far too easily, Virginia absolutely dreadful and who was ball watching and not following up?

Re: CONFIMRED - Ovie Ejaria

I still don;t understand about 10 days ago we were under a soft embargo, and now we've spent millions in fees and wages, without really letting anyone go, well certainly not in the numbers we were expecting. Is Mr Dai going shot or bust, hoping to get out of the Chump and so escape any retribution ...

Re: Rumour: Lucas Joao

Wednesday fan at work said he is a good impact sub, but tends to go missing whenever he starts. His goal scoring record seems to support that.

Wouldn't write him off though, Gomes may be able to get the best out of him.

Never heard of him, but I quite like the idea of having Moore, Pele and Puscas starting for us.

Re: Rumour - Rafael Cabral

Interesting. Not sure we would use another loan on a goalkeeper, so could it be a permanent transfer?

Otherwise, the loan move for Virginia is a bit of a waste.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Sheffield Wednesday (h) sponsored by new season optimism

Trying to avoid a kneejerk reaction. Midfield needs two more and we need a striker that can hold the ball up. Nothing we didn't already know.

Struggling to find any positives tbh.

Re: Next Season's Squad.

Well. It begins tomorrow. This is the squad as far as I can tell (I included CBC as someone said Gomes named him as our 3rd choice?) and we still have 2 big holes. Exciting times ahead. Is Barrett an AML? GK - Virginia, Walker, Andresson/CBC DR - Yiadom, Watson, Howe DC - Moore, Miazga, Morrison, M...

Re: Lucas Boye

Is a winger who can play up front what we need? More experienced option than Loader, Barrett and Olise who can play there. But genuine out and out striker is surely more important? Maybe the club are trying their best to bring one of them in too and we should just be happy with extra options. Those...

Re: Next Season's Squad.

Hound
Zip I can’t remember many chances created by Swift last season.


I can’t either tbh.


There was that game at home where he won the ball deep and played it with the outside of his boot to Barrow on the left, who crossed for Meite to score.

A glimpse of what he is capable of.

Re: Those were the days...

How many times these days do you watch a boring draw and yet afterwards both managers seem delighted that they "controlled the game". Well maybe, but you didn't bloody win! Football should bring in a bonus point for goals scored, similar to Rugby. It would probably ruin the game in the lon...

Re: BFTG Birmingham

Unlike previous poster I though McNulty was excellent tonight. A really clever player who always added something positive with every touch and who has that bit of extra vision. On a night when he didn’t have many clear cut chances he still made a reading by his vision and work rate. his ball for me...

Re: BFTG - Forest away

Read Clement's comments about "doing some business in the loan window with 2 or 3 on the radar" and Popa back in training. Apparently, a "wide man" is the priority. No, no it's not. A centre forward is the priority. Everyone can see that, shirley? I just don’t see how we could g...

Re: Palace(H) friendly Saturday July 28th

OK here goes.....I just wonder if, (run for cover) we might have been better to have sacked Stam and risked relegation with a caretaker manager rather than bring in Clement. There were a few decent managers about this summer. Interesting the man I would have liked is not having a good start at Swan...

I have the experience of watching Reading for twenty years or so, which has given me a decent enough basis for recognising when football is good or bad.

Re: Unfortunately ANOTHER In or Out poll

I am loathed to say it, but if you gave Neil Warnock this squad, he'd have us in the top half at the very least. I was Stam in until the last few games, but nothing I have seen recently makes me think we'll stay up with him in charge. Time to go.

Re: In or Out? New poll.

I wouldn't shed any tears if Stam went, but what worries me is who we would bring in. If Tevreden gets his way, it will be more of the same.
