He doesn't fit our style at all either. We are all about pace and mobilty. But for me that's exactly why he's worth keeping (unless he's on big wages). I think he's pretty good in the air and works well as a target man for others to play off, so bringing him on from the bench will give the team ano...

I think we should just look towards next season. If Griffin isn't going to stay then stop playing him and see if we have a replacement (even if it is a youngster who can be an understudy to a more experienced summer signing). See if Cummings really isn't up to this division or if he is a good player...

Reserve football has certainly changed in the last few years. Not many clubs actually field a reserve side, choosing instead to play youngsters in a more regular/competitive format. Lots of the billy-big-bollocks players in the first team get the hump about playing for the second string. That's not...

Only started watching Reading c.1992, so can't really judge people like Keith Curle, but Dariusz Wdowczyk by a country mile. For me, he is in with a good shout for best player I've ever seen, regardless of position, and I still can't really believe he actually chose to play here for so long. If we'r...

@ Seal: Can help but this is a bit unfair on Bryn. In the first half we held onto the ball really well, but at the start of the second half the defence just panicked and kept banging the ball aimlessly away from the box, and with Long dropping deeper and deeper and standing no chance of holding it u...

is it to early to ask what time the star coaches will leave the stadium? i dont have any idea how long it takes to drive to newcastle On average it takes me about 4.5 hours in the car. Blimey - it used to take me 4 hours to Leeds - what are you driving? How slow do you drive? I reckon 3 to 3.5 hour...

Simon Sheppard, never, his saves when we beat Wolves managed by FSB keeps him out of there. Paul Bodin and Matt Robinson weren't even the worst players in the teams they played in. Meaker certainly had a massively overrated opinion of his own ability but wasn't the worst. Steve Swailes for me. Dread...

Royalee For me a combination of Sonks and Sidders - both were immense today.

Sodders?

IMO Lita is a finisher. He should not be playing with his back to goal or trying to link up play. I like to think of him as similar in that way to Jamie Cureton, who I always thought was much more dangerous coming off the bench. Lita should be a tactical substitute, told to go on towards the end of ...

shadesrwrf Any internet poll such as this one is going to be pointless. What would be more interesting would be a managers' manager of the month vote. Does such a thing exist?

Probably, there is a players' player of the year after all.

£10m 3 goals already and supposedly scouted by liverpool, he has all round ability, great touch, good finish, can head a ball well and sets up goals, he definitely won't go but if he did u'd need 2 spend at least that 2 replace him. If anelka was bought for £8m :lol: kev is worth at least £10m. ...

Gregster here's positive logic....

RFC beat Middlesborough 3-2
Middlesborough beat Chelsea 2-1

Therefore:

RFC beat Chelsea 3-1

RFC to win the league.

Or come second behind Villa

royal_ali WELL I DONT THINK WE DID TO BADLY IF IT WASNT FOR THE SONKO SENDING OFF I THINK WE WOULDVE WON WITH 11 AGAINST 11. DOESNT HELP WHEN YOU GOT REFS LIKE THAT THOU

no need to get all shakespeare about it

Seems more Barnsley than Shakespeare in that context

brighton blue army Mmmmm scored 4 goals - same as Chelski. 1 point behind Chelski in the table so far. Man City yet to score a goal. If we keep scoring we have a chance........

Ahem...

Looks like we beat a good team on sat now.

Pants

Can we count Lita? I thought he was born in Congo.

Villa 1-2 Reading

Anything is possible these days!!

And they haven't got Dion Dublin to score goals against the run of play against us this time

Thank god for that!!

I don't want to hear anything from Matt Le Tissier again until the end of the match. So tense...

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
