tinman85 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 How they made it to the play off final last year is a miracle. They were poor. Think they had a plus one GD or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I get the feeling that there are at least four teams worse than Reading so they should be okay in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing probably because they see it as a last roll of the dice, get someone in to reinvigorate and edge to safety. Generally, Reading's fall in some ways isn't so surprising. Different to that of Sheff Wed- last season they were definitely overperforming, outmatching their expectations. This year maybe an overcompensation in terms of drop off.

Got to the play off final last year and missed out on penalties, maybe the players arnt good enough or they are not trying for him. Players need to take more responsibility.

No, but I thought Sunderland and QPR are the worst sides I have seen this season and we really shouldnt have thrown away a 3-0 lead vs Sunderland.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looking at Experimental 3-6-1. It's not always right by any stretch, but their model and compared to that, it had Reading overperforming vastly last season. Perhaps not a slump to this extent was anticipated but definitely good case that they overperformed significantly last year. Also, pretty impressively, when it returned this season it had Fulham in 2nd...and they have been definitely the 2nd best side for a while. Worth a look!

Xiled Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I'll hold my hands up and say that when Reading were chasing promotion, I expected Jaap Stam was going to get the next big manager move. I really thought he was destined for one of the Premier League top six teams. The home game last season when we were leading 2-0 and eventually lost 2-3 was incredibly one-sided (and depressing) once Reading got a sniff of a comeback. They were so dominant in our half of the pitch. The way that Reading have played this season would say that Stam doesn't have any clue how to stop a slide or that the problems at the Madejski run far deeper than even their fans believe. Another case of Chinese ownership turning bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
