Hunt out.

[leon]

Hunt won’t get us promoted, this season or next, nice guy and he has stepped into the breach (twice) but it’s just treading water.

So it’s a waiting game for couhig, do it soon? Do it around Christmas? Do it next summer?

A lot may come down to paying off the contract. It will need to be done at some point.

They've also said they want stability. Sacking the manager wouldn't be in line with that. He didn't change the manager for the entire time he was at Wycombe, albeit they were relatively successful and Ainsworth was there for many years before he turned up.

Indeed, I think he will be kept.

not so sure - get to mid October and we're still in trouble there will be serious questions getting asked. The owners aren't interested in sentimentality and a trip to L2 is not part of the plan.

Relying on one player coming back and fixing everything is hardly a strategy. Hunt needs to show that he's learning from mistakes - I'm just not sure he is.

But it could be a great reset for the club?

Getting into the National League would be better for a proper reset, could benefit the entire area as well with league games v Maidenhead, Slough and Bracknell a possibility.

Maybe one for ex-players thread, but it looks like Parkinson could leave Wrexham without quick improvements.

If Hunt did get sacked, there is a Reading legend who you would back to bring immediate improvements to the team. However, football would be "pragmatic" and if he did get us promoted in a couple of years, his Championship record is dire.

Maybe worth rolling the dice on potential with a higher ceiling?

Parky appears to be a bit of dinosaur when it comes to style of play, would be a complete departure from the sort of players we have at our disposal and the same tactics Hunt is getting pelters for for seemingly reverting to in a panic.

And as you say, he has never made the step up beyond the third tier which appears to be happening again with Wrexham.

Went to go into the season with O'Connor as main CB and MOM main striker.

O'Connor gets injured, quickly brings in Williams. Williams our best defender.

MOM struggling and missing chances, brings in Marriott. Marriott scores 2 in 2 starts.

Start the season firing blanks. Now scoring in each game. 5 in past 3 in league. 9 in last 5 all comps.

Played Wing, Fraser, Savage in midfield. Didn't work. Reset the balance to Wing, Elliott, Savage, working better, but still in progress.

Hunt is certainly tweaking things. Some things improve, some still an issue. Results still some way off but the defeats are narrowing and we're giving ourselves a chance.

No one knows if he'll get it right and it'll come off, but I think it's clear that he is making improvements, and his recent team selections have had very little to criticise, based on what he has available.

This is all true, but there is only one thing that matters, and that's winning games and climbing the table. If the results and the league position do not improve considerably by mid-October (at the latest), he will be replaced.

It's hammered home as a cliché all the time, but it's a results business.

Of course. But we're seven games in, not 15.

We are 10 games in mid Oct with the next international break. That's how long I give Hunt with winnable home games coming up.

Winnable? Reading haven’t beaten Orient anywhere yet since relegation! Last season Orient had lost 4 in a row and were without a point at the bottom of the table but still collected a win here without too much trouble, so possibly not quite the home banker anyone might be thinking it is.

Mansfield is the other home league game before the break and they’re flying high, much like they were last season when they visited so might be the better bet of the two for a win given we managed it last season.

Agree record re Orient is dire, but this isn't the Orient from last season.....Charlie Wellens is getting game time.

We need 4 points from these 2 homes given Stockport is a loss.

They won’t have to face Boyce Clark this time. Still think he did well to get out of the way of Kelman’s shot. It looked all ends up that it was going to hit him.
