Reading (H) - Tues 16th Feb 19:45 - Matchday thread

[robin_unreliant]

Expect SL to do his Old Mr Grace impression shortly (for those old enough to remember). Pop your head up just to tell everyone how well they're doing. They all work so hard after all. Complacency at this club is almost as staggering as Ashton is smug. 

[Sheltons Army]

There’s SEVEN Internationals (Of various levels) incl FIVE Senior Internationals in red shirts tonight

 

Whatever the level of coaching -

They should be truly embarrassed

I don’t feel sorry for Dean. He didn’t have to accept the job. He knows what comes with the territory. I feel for us fans. 

Yeah. Sorry but **** ‘’deano’’ he will get a handsome pay off and will be on his merry way up the road. He should never of took the job or been offered the job.

Agree been saying the same for years, need someone who will kick there asses and tell them straight. All recent managers been all to buddy buddy like, the players even call him Deano FFS.... We and flaccid all over the team and club...

We've had 1 manager like that in the past 10 years and he won us a double. Can't imagine Deano giving the players a mouthful during half time.

Feels like the plucky League 2 side has met the Prem side in the FA Cup 3rd round 

Reading weren't very good at all imo we were just hopeless.

And to think we had Chris Hughton willing and ready to come to the club. Unbelievable.

it’s hard to comprehend the stupidity of our board!  That they actually thought the number 2 from the previous failed management team was a better option than a experienced manager with promotions to the league we are so say trying to get to, it’s unbelievable how idiotic but not surprising how this has turned out. The sooner Holden is show them door them better! 

[mossey]

Second half boys, look in the mirror, regroup and we go again!

Ok Steve we all told you at the time Dean was not the man for the job. But you listened to MA.Get rid of both of them tonight and get Nigel Pearson or Eddie Howe in place by Friday morning.

Eddie Howe being lined up for Crystal Palace so that won’t be happening unfortunately.

I have a feeling Lansdown will take control now and override Mark Ashton on this one, he needs some experience to guide us to safety , no 4 month recruitment this time 

******* hope not , he’ll probably put junior in charge

Simmo announced in the morning

Assume his journey is “essential “, or is if different rules, as always

Probably Hedunism II there’s no pleasure in watching city!

[Sturny]

Say what you want about DH but this is an improvement from last game, we were 4-0 down at half time now only 0-2  

we go again... 

[City_USA]

No F#ckin changes......fuming

[Red white and red]

And please take that useless shite Downsey with you. Why are you announcing the players coming back on the pitch, to an empty stadium. Nobody cares mate.

[Warwickshire Red]

Odds on DH having the chance to beat LJs 8 in a row? Unlikely now I think.

Take MA with you (or step away from full recruitment control) and SL bring in Cook 

 

 

[old_eastender]

Holden really has not helped himself:

Lansbury DM is a bad joke, in fact Lansbury playing anywhere is a bad choice.

Wells & Fammy don't work together, that's already been proven so why go with it again

Can you imagine the 1966 England team calling Alf Ramsey ‘Rammo’?

Tommy Rowe previous clubs Stockport, Peterborough & Donny. Sorry not good enough for Bristol City, wouldn't last 2 mins with a good manager.

May be so but he’s done a reasonable job for us in the last 2 years. And always puts in 100%, can the same be said for the majority of the starting 11 tonight.
