Hendo Indeed - I'm sure that we've also said after defeats we've been crap as well - rather than how good the opposition were. WBA being the prime example of that.

There are only a small handful of clubs in the Championship that regularly play notably well imo. Everyone else has the odd great game and is otherwise decent and organised or a bit shit.


Same with all Championship players. Mostly decent, occasionally a bit shit, occasionally exceptionally good.
Any successful Championship team is that way either because it is actually full of PL players because they've just been demoted,
OR the particular blend of decent Championship players, loanees/young players on the way up and ex-PL players on the way down, combined with the manager and coaching staff, has become a team where the sum of the parts etc....

Regularly successful Championship teams have a back-of-house team that recognise the players and managers that will gel - they are Alchemists.
I'm really hopeful that Mark Bowen will stay at Reading, IMO, he is more important than any one player or coach.


Also Brian Carey who was, I believe, wanted by a few PL clubs over the summer but opted for Reading. He’s very much part of the team that identifies players and does the homework on them.

Can i assume that as we broke the Hull away awful record yesterday, the Hull fans are saying we were rubbish and the result was a travesty of justice :)

They're more bemoaning their inability to hit a cow's arse with a banjo or defend set pieces, although apparently, the ref was the shittest ever.

Better team but didn’t create much at all. Draw would have probably been fair. Reading are one of the worse teams in the division which makes it even more annoying. Tiny shit nonsense club.


Reading are an awful team. They've got nothing and somehow beaten us.


A few take aways from their forum. Wasn't our best game but i think they are being a bit harsh

Yeah whatever. Unsurprising reaction by the 3 points is what matters

Well, if you cherry pick the 2 most negative comments.....

Most of them seem to be saying they were the better side but didnt create anything, which isn't that far from what we're saying.

Sadly they need to look in the mirror when it comes to dishing out shyte about 'shit nonsense clubs'. About to lose their home once again due to the nonsensical way that their club has been run off the pitch in recent years.

Where there fans are saying they played the better football then I fully agree. It was far better and much more entertaining to watch than our win ugly approach. Fortunately our style got us the three points that we needed, even though I was bored silly by our team's contribution for a lot of the game.

Do you want me to post the whole thread on here? Isn't all fans back from the game cherry picked?

This thread here seems to mainly be about the nonsense salty opposition fans spout about us,i just added to it with two comments

Its not all cherry picked though and IMO, it shouldn't be either. I'd rather read a cross section of opinions that reflects what the whole fanbase is saying.

How would you feel if other fans judged us on dd's rambling nonsense?

Ironic that they slag us off in such a manner. Now they are in a mess and face eviction, and with FFP being lifted on us hopefully, they have one or two players worth looking at that would prefer a more stable club with a better future. I'd start with Sheaf. Surprised he was taken off. Constantly moping up and running into space and looking to create something. Looks a creative option.

I prefer the ‘potted’ approach

Considering the absolute shit show their club is currently in, this comment beggars belief…

That stadium is oxf*rd terrible.

All the charmlessness and out the way-ness of a new build with all the shit facilities of an old stadium.

Hated it.

Their place?



That's only aimed at the fools who slag off our club and stadium. I feel genuine sympathy for their more reasonable supporters and hope they can get things sorted on a decent and permanent basis.

Knew I should have used 'their'.

Yeah, feel sorry for the lot that aren’t cretins.
