Newsflash - starting badly is the Reading way!

Why is everyone getting their knickers in a twist? Far far too early. I think we'll see a more settled side once the window closes anyway.

Exactly. And you get the typical numpties coming out after a loss. There's a long way to go.

[P!ssed Off]

This is a long term change and the players we have are still under the Brian regime. I'd happily not get promoted and spend a couple seasons in the champ to establish a style that will eventually be more accustomed to the PL.

But that's generally not how it works though, is it?
Each season you spend in the Championship after relegation tends to see more and more quality and finance leave a club.
In order to stay up in the Prem we need to keep hold of our players that can possibly play in that division, and we won't be able to do that by mooching about in the Championship for 2/3 years.

It is four games in it's also just over a week until the end of the transfer window and we still don't have entirely what we need. Whilst it's sensible not to overreact to the first loss of the season but it's also pretty naïve not to be slightly concerned given the fact haven't addressed a big problem in our squad yet.

Depressing result. A new forward would make all the difference, Blackman is not the answer. Fingers crossed we can offload Pog aswell.

[AirRaidSiren]

You all need to calm down and remember that "we've had a good workout".

We move on

Unless you've got a Delorean with a flux capacitor what else can you do?

I'd of thought you being a 'fan' and all, that you would want the club to succeed?

You're wanting failure. What kind of fan wants their team to fail?

Aww poor baby a wickle upset?

Karacan is oxf*rd shit.

Headless bloody chicken who is too weak to play in midfield!

Readingensian - You're brushing over the fact that quite a lot of our players are on bumper money these days - Pearce, Kebe, HRK, Pog, McAnuff, Drenthe, Williams, Bridge, McCarthy, Roberts, Mariappa to name a few.

We've not sold anyone & had the annual summer sale. We are spending more money than ever from what I can see.

Yes, however surely four years of parachute payments will more than cover this extra spend no? The underlying fact is that we lack goals and need investment to increase our chances of bouncing back first time. Otherwise I can see this all getting very messy with our new owner in place. We've already learnt he isn't as patient as Sir Mad.

I'm not expecting a two or three million pound signing, just an indication of some serious intent to compete for an automatic promotion place.

None of us want failure, we just want a manager in place who knows what he is doing.
