I'm not calling for his head. I want him to stay, but I'm pretty certain he'll leave at the end of the season.

I have no idea what will happen in the summer, but at this moment in time Coppell has taken us to 3rd, with a squad that many said would be rubbish, mid table, relegation, all were mentioned, yet that is not how it has panned out.

Not many know what goes on behind the scenes, and that is, IMHO, where things are happening, whether it is unrest again from players, most thought kitson was the answer last season, we now know different. Or JM not releasing the funds for expensive named players, and those that do know from here may not really know the truth, perhaps Coppell does not go after the multi million ones as there is little point, tho we do ok without them most of the time.

I don't think anyone's fussing about our position in the table (apart from the obvious fact that we should be first with a few points to spare given how other teams have been playing). Nor about Coppell's unquestionable ability to find inexpensive unheralded players and create a great competitive team. The big issue is why is a team that was steaming toward the top of the table in December now utterly becalmed and apparently rudderless? If it's problems behind the scenes, I have to say that's inexcusable given how things were going earlier this season.

I think they must be asking the same question at Wolves.

Everything will be OK,

Reading will get back on track with a scrappy win on Tuesday and it will act as a catalyst for the run-in..

Just a confidence thing, once the first goal goes in at Hillsbrough we will back on form.

If there were more games in February it would have passed by now, it just seems like it is going on forever as we have played hardly any games in the last 4-5 weeks.

Turns8 THE BIGGEST ALOLITO OF THE NIGHT THUS FAR.... :roll:

Henry has 2 good games in the Premiership and all of a sudden he's like his Barcelona namesake...LOL genius... :mrgreen:


Whereas Kebe is God's gift to football !?!?!?!

Get real chap. The point the original poster made is valid and also true. Whether we like it or not Coppell DOES have his favourites, untouchables, call them what you will.

Following Saturday's performance, you can be sure there will be changes for Tuesday. Cisse and Harper will be back straight away. Kebe and SHunt will retain their starting places, oh, and Fed may well be coming to the end of his little run before he's sold off too.

It's the Reading Way. I sadly got used to that a long time ago.

Wouldny ber so sure after eatching Sheff Wed turn Burnley over on their own patch - they should of had 7 and their forwards and wingers gamve Burnley defence a reall going over - lets hope ours dont suffer the same - we have to keep a clean sheet to get anything from game because we aint scoring

so far those "untouchables" would constitute s.hunt, and err........oh, just s.hunt

thats hardly a massive justification of the "untouchables" argument
hes quite clear on it

players who he has turned to time and again, and produced when it was needed are more trusted than those that havent delivered this, therefore they play less, while the 1st group stay in the team longer, and get back quicker when dropped

but coppells right isnt he?
these are the players most likely to do whats required, therefore they should play more
shouldnt they?
