  Was waiting for someone else to start this, was there bad traffic? Probably controversially I didn't think we were that bad today and not much blame can go on Clement. Swansea were the better team first half but we did have a goal disallowed. Their goal came from a yiadom moment of madness that had let down his manager. Second half we looked pretty reasonable going forward and created a number of chances but the finishing was terrible. Meite and Baldock both should have scored. If any of those chances had gone in we wouldn't have conceded the second which was just a breakaway when we were pushing for a good. That said Annsi made a…

  I got back a couple hours ago. We were utter pants and it was men vs boys. First 10 minutes could have been 1-1 and both sides looked threatening. Didn't see the offside as it was on the opposite side of the ground so can't say if it was the right call. After 10 minutes we were awful and Swansea should have won by more (3 or 4 would have been fair). Swansea also should have had another penalty first half for a clear handball. Yiadom, Meite, Swift, Bacuna and Blackett were really bad. Rest were ok. Bod missed a great chance, Meite missed 2 other ones a better striker at this level would have scored. Sub timing was pathetic. I've ran…

  Us not conceding a 2nd goal (if we had equalized) is an assumption that cannot be proven. It’s a common trait in here. It’s like saying if we had scored 2 goals we would therefor have got a point. And yet, we don’t know that, either. The flow of a game subsequently, and certainly its result, after a supposed event, cannot be predicted with any certainty. Swans could have thrown men forward, at 2-2, and maybe got a winner. It’s conjecture.

  Ok. I'm not saying I want Clement out. He's a nice chap and ok feel for him with the horrible board situation. But. There comes a moment in any relationship when you know in your heart it's just not meant to be. 8 games. The whole summer. The whole preseason. All the games this season... And we're shit. Whether its his fault or not I now know this isn't the man for us and it's just a question of time before he's gone. Id love someone to dig this comment up in three years time when he's taken us to the PL and rip the piss out of me... Eg the Iranian might be his saviour. But let's face it we all know it's a case of waiting for the…

  The current material that any manager of Reading would have to work with is substandard as a group. Until that dynamic is considerably changed the playing side of the club will continue in a downward spiral. If it was possible to move the whole group out and get a whole new squad in in January I’d do it. Yesterday was just more of the same. Swansea are still a very good possession based side and as soon as they went 1 up they were content to let Reading have the ball knowing that the pace of Naughton and James would likely be more than enough to pick off a breakaway goal and look what happened. Most, if not all, of the senior non…
