Rotherham will be working hard to make sure they still have a chance of staying up in a couple of weeks.

Still this performance nowhere near acceptable
Of course not. It would be moronic.

This is classic end of season, not going to make it, run out of steam, combined with failing to cope with poor pitch and high wind. We just never adapt to conditions.
I do genuinely wonder if Bearwood and even the SCL are just too nice. The amount of games, esp up north, where we’ve just been really poor on a poor pitch/weather. Proper southern softies

Yeah, I think it could be a factor. You look at some of our more disappointing results in games we should have won and pitch or weather has been shocking and we just couldn't cope with it.

Think Rino is looking good, which is timely.

FFS Reading just save everyone’s fuel money and tell them in the week before if you’re not going to turn up for a game.

I still think he deserves a proper summer and pre season as a revolving door of managers gets you nowhere. But the past 3 games ultimately results aligning with performances and nobody at the club should view the current performance levels as acceptable for next season. He should feel under pressure to prove by Christmas that he's capable of better.

Might be timely for his career and chance of a contract next year

Will Keane fails to score in essentially an open goal from 2 yards.

Obvious point is obvious. Don't know what's happened to WYR.

I guess Fraser has been pretty average, so if Rinomhota has looked bright in his cameo, perhaps "timely" would have been at least a month ago. Then maybe a contract renewal would be looking in the bag already.

That was shameful. Apart from Rino looking reasonable, the rest were all terrible to a man. Individual performances, tactics, passing, passion, all zero out of ten for me. Midfield continues to be non existent, defenders just constantly hoof, and nothing up front. Can’t wait for LR comments on this. Donny were crap too, but nowhere near as bad as us.

Just Fcuk off leam. 3 shots on target in 3 games. 1 was a penalty 1 was wings free kick. And savage today. This Yorkshire pcunt is destroying this club more than Dai ever did. Worst manager we’ve ever had. Just go, now. Couhig please just sack the pcunt don’t give him the summer he needs to go tonight.

Ox 2-0 Watford

But Pompey score a last minute winner at the joke that is Middlesbrough to keep Ox in the bottom 3 :lol:

Reading now blown the play off race. Next week we can all watch Cardiff clinch promotion. Happy days!
