3-1 to Reading. McAnuff, Sigurdsson and a Swansea own goal.

0-0

Another reasonable result to keep us ticking over until we get in another decent striker.

Would you be calling these draws reasonable results if Rodgers was still here?

yes of course, because it would all be Coppells fault :arrow:

Draws away against Bristol and home vs Swansea in their current form? Yes, yes I would. But at the same time Rodgers put pressure on himself to win hard games by fouling up so many easier ones. McDermott also gets more leeway for being early in his tenure and inheriting a squad from someone else he can do nothing about.

Rodgers had an entire preseason and signed seven players, he also had 23 games prior to these two in which to show me something I could believe in, and failed in all but one or two.

Have got a really good feeling about this one. Hopefully the fans will get behind the team and the players should be motivated.

2-0 Home win.

Sig + Rasiak.

For someone who quite vociferously expresses his absolute distain for anything Welsh, your knowledge of the Welsh language is mildly surprising :-)

Reading 2 - 1 Swansea;
Marek Matejovsky and Rasiak to score for Reading;
Don't know who to score for swansea, but i've a feeling they will sneak one past at one point.

I didn't realise how Swansea have climbed up the table....so a 1-0 loss.

Calls for new manager from the crowd ensue. :?

There is no chance we will keep a clean sheet for this game. We might sneak a goal in, I'd say Rasisk if he puts in some effort.

Bristol was a great performance but with all those shots on goal we scored just once. Great finish and equaliser though! Now we are back at home and can't see any change in scoring! Swansea have a pretty tidy defence.

Final score 2-1 Swansea, however, a decent enough performance but same issue of not taking chances. Or it'll be a total oxf*rd performance!

Revert to the traditional 4-4-2 and go get them. Liking this.

Revert to 4-5-1 and nullify the game, trying to absorb their attack and score on the break. Probably this.

Win please for fecks sake.

We have an excellent defensive record and you have strikers that couldn't hit a barn door so it'll be 4-0 to you :wink:

Honestly think we'll sneak it by the odd goal in 3 after a 90 minute game of keepball by both sides with few chances created.

Won't be there unfort but we should have a decent (and extremely hung over) away following equating to 90 mins of vocal domination.

I had us down to lose this match before Rodgers left, but now I fancy we might get a draw.

1-1

I'd be overjoyed if we won it!

At last we put away our chances. 3-1 McAnuff, Sigurdsson and Raziak for us. :)
