Almost forgotten what it`s like to win a game, the last time we played well and won is a distant memory.

Can we clone Andy Yiadom?

Controversially, I don’t think there is much wrong with either the technical ability or the work rate of the players. I think they are just in the habit of losing, have become used to misplaced passes, and are always taking the easy option. This started under Stam, and a change of manager has not arrested it.

(You could argue is started really goes all the way back to McDermott’s time in charge in the PL – he had limited players at his disposal so the fault is not all his but the club has arguably never really got back to the feeling that we are a club on the up that he (McDermott) manage to continue after the blip that was Rodgers).

But rather than just lash out at the manager or the recruitment team, I wonder if we have a sports psychologist. If we do, sack them ‘cause they’re sh1t and get a good one. If we haven’t, get a good one in as soon as possible.

Turning a team from a losing to a winning mentality is crucial thing now – we have the players we have and I can’t see any value in changing the manager.

(I will also admit Meyler is just unbelievable poor and Aluko, whilst not as bad as some would suggest, is still a massive waste of money).

Exactly my thinking.

BBC Berks asked about the manager/owners relationship and PC basically said that lots of people could be doing better....

Impression also is that PC is not particularly impressed with the club’s inability to get players out, leaving him with a bloated squad, as well as thinking more could have been done inwardly.

+1 on all of that. We compete in every game. Where most average teams would claim a couple of wins from our performances, we bottle it and win zero

It’s a mental thing. We’re not a great technical side but mentally we are absolutely bottom of the table

Is there a recording/video of the interview anywhere?

[SCIAG]

The problem with freaking out after every defeat is that when you get a performance like that one, the post-match freak out doesn't have any impact. So as someone who rarely criticised performances, calls for people to be dropped, etc., believe me when I say that first half was the worst I've seen us play for 15 years and that Meyler and Aluko are utter disasters.

Both management and recruitment has been shocking lately.

On a good day we have enough about us to stay up, but going down is a realistic prospect.

We've lost every game this year by 1 goal.

Seriously??

Bacuna 3 Spent more time marking Moore than any Wednesday player.

Whatever I may have made of your posts in the past, you've redeemed yourself with this.

As usual the Clement out brigade are all over social media, very predictable I suppose, but does sacking managers all the time solve a thing?
5 managers in 5 seasons has seen us struggle with the obvious exception of the play-off season its been a perenial struggle. I actually thought we were ok in the 2nd half today. we need to stick with Clement, I`m confident he can get it right, but the midfield is a HUGE problem, I`m surprised he couldn`t see this.

At some point in the next few hours the BBC Berks post match review should be available on the BBC radio iPlayer catch up.

[Snowflake Royal]

I genuinely don't think Clement is the problem, don't think he's much of a solution either, but I also don't think changing the manager AGAIN is going to have any positive affect.

Everyone said it couldn't get worse than it was under Stam. I do think we are a bit better than at the end under him, but it's not far off getting worse.

[Old Man Andrews]

That goal 10 seconds after half time is the exact moment I gave up on this team and manager. Just laughable and clueless.

[Denver Royal]

Home to very avg team, we had one shot on goal in 1st, one in 2nd. Their keeper has faced the most shots in Champ this season.
Doesn’t know his best eleven. Blackett was better each week. Aluko in front of Gunter is too lightweight.
Meyler and Bacuna = no creativity, plus played too deep for home game. Bannan ran show in middle all day, we didn’t adjust.
HT team talks? Early triple substitutions?
Yiadom was good, Meite put in a shift.Caught Wed asleep at corner, Moore free header, but didn't push on.
Quiet, small crowd again (and Wed brought a few).
Seems little harmony between mgr and players.
Wed subs were Forestieri, Fletcher. Who do we have? O’Shea not even on bench. 30 players in our squad?
Wed wasted 10 mins at end, we helped by conceding free kicks and throws.
Felt like must-win, 6 pointer type of game. 2 pts from 18 this season, 2 wins in 14 for Clement.

[CountryRoyal]

This is the year we go down isn’t it?

Seems so. I honestly can't see us amassing 50 points, can you?

Unfortunately it doesn’t help when we don’t play to our best, but we just don’t have the quality for this division. It’s early days but you have to say it doesn’t look good.

I can’t see 3 teams I can categorically state are worse than us.

[windermereROYAL]

Liam Moore: ‘My goal was irrelevant. We lost the game so it doesn’t mean anything. There’s no point standing here and say we need to do this and that. We’re not doing well enough as a team or individuals. That includes me. We were clueless with ideas.’ #readingfc

[Winston Biscuit]

Not sure I have ever seen an RFC player show less effort, heart and fight than Meylor did today (and against Bolton)

[Gunny Fishcake]

If we'd have played like we did for the last twenty minutes maybe it would have been a different outcome , but not to be.

We're clearly a club in turmoil, the players body language is plain to see for those of us that go every game.

It's going to be a long hard season.

Nothing typifies todays cesspit world of football like on the way home in the traffic , passing us up to the M4, Swift in his Bentley smiling, Bacuna in his top of the range £150 grand Range Rover laughing in his car with is WAG.

Greedy conning parasites the lot of them.
