I think brining Pog on for Karacan might work, one problem though, then we don't have anyone in midfield to make the tackles.

Next season's priority, buying a defensive midfielder who can play clever passes who isn't a crock like Carrico.

Legs on changes things. So Jem can come off later for Pog.

We were pressing really well in the first 30 minutes, then they got a bit tired. Southampton were always going to have chances, it was all about how Reading responded when they did. As we're a relegation haunted team the confidence has just drained out of the side as Saints were attacking and, inste...

Watching this I realise how much of the blame has to go to McDermott for what's happened this season, failing to buy the right players, lacking a plan B and looking to HOOF. When we've gone 1 down our confidence has drained and we've gone back to the way we played under McD, out default, hoof. Reall...

Great player, but sadly my main memory of him was making a bad error that let Bolton equalise at Wembley. Something i only noticed about 10 years later, it took that long to bring myself to watch it. He got cleaned out by Simon Sheppard at the start of the following season as wasn't the same after....

Ian Royal Mick Gooding's not keen though. I think his description is something like "Great player, heart of a mouse."

Where did you hear that?

Where can that match be found?

seahawk10 It's the process not the outcome Archie...

I know, but the process also doesn't seem to be working this season.

I thought i'd do a poll as I know you love it when I make 'em.

You can choose three options.

I was just watching some of the goals of the last 20 years video and it got me thinking how this season has been just a really crap one to be a Reading fan. We've had a poor start to the campaign, a massive break due to the Sunderland game being called off, very few periods of decent play from the l...

Why not go for Poyet instead? Someone who has more experience and is not so much of a nut job. I think it won't be Di Canio at the end of the day.

Silver Fox Can we not want Di Canio because he's clearly a bellend, regardless of his political beliefs?

Can't it be both? 105 members and counting for the 'No to Di Canio' facebook page

My Italian friend's take on him 'Well, personally, being allergic to football, I don't follow Di Canio's intellectual evolution (if possible), but he has always been known for being explicitly and proudly a fascist. There is another famous Italian goalkeeper called Gigi Buffon, who repeatedly played...

Bloody hell, not in my name!
