Low energy football...
Poor communication...

Does that mean that Richardson is now out of the running?

I think the sooner everyone accepts that we are starting the season with LR in charge, the better it will be for all. If he does trot off, then it will be a pleasant surprise.

Yea I've accepted it now. It's mainly why I just can't face renewing my season ticket at present. I'm still not sure I will

I've been told that the club is hoping to encourage more people to renew their ST by offering a free voucher for a prawn sandwich.

First time I've ever seen the words "prawn sandwich" on here without being followed by the word brigade.

Well done.

Allergic to shellfish so, for that reason, I'm out.

Rob Edwards has been dismissed at Wolves!! Did a great job at Boro and onto a hiding to nothing at Wolves with their squad. I get it won't happen but would be a great club for him to rebuild his career.

How long would he be prepared to wait for the ‘greatest honour’ of managing Reading?

We have a manager with an given role in (at least) taking Reading through the start of next season.


Give it up, would be my advice

The Boro job was his chance to rebuild his career, he dumped them the first chance he had. Think most clubs will now think twice before offering him a jump cos they know now how loyal he is.

Very refreshing performance last night and just as refreshing that the manager came out and took responsibilty that if the frony foot approach fails its on him.
England’s performance last night, along with Tuchel’s comments about front-foot football and accepting responsibility for mistakes, has me thinking about leadership styles in football.

Southgate’s England always felt more pragmatic, built around structure, control, and limiting risk. That approach clearly had its strengths in tournament football, even if it sometimes left the team feeling restrained in bigger moments.
Coppell always treated his players like grown ups and didn't tend to overcoach. Also remember after a couple of bad defeats he put the same 11 out to put things right rather than sacpegoating a few.
I really don't like Richardson but I have never met the guy and I keep questioning myself as to why he bothers me so much.
Comparing Richardson to these guys may be a bit unfair, but it seems to me LR will prioritise his own arse before anything else, including the team (front-foot football in his world is just a throwaway soundbite).

I do not believe the players are stupid and must surely see how slopey his shoulders are.That must shape their attitude somewhat and their desire to "run through walls" for him.
Anyway, come on the German!

It does help that Tuchel has probably one of the best squads available to him .... without too many obvious gaps. But do agree that yesterday's performance was a joy to watch ... and contrasted with the boring football seen under Southgate (and last season under Leam).
