The heart and soul have been ripped out of the playing squad. We are the equivalent of a League 1 side now in terms of quality. I can't see us staying up. Was this REALLY the only way out of the situation we are in? But until there is a better option, we'll have to accept Lowe.

Delap overhead kick against Spurs. Nuff said

I'm pretty certain I will be there now. I think we might just hav to turn up and see who comes.

I'm a maybe this week.

Brilliant night and with a bit more luck it could have been 4 or 5-0. But, we really rode our luck in defence on a few occasions and if it wasn't for Kelvin we'd have had a 2-2 draw I think.

Ouch. Hope it doesn't keep you out too long Mike.

Put me down as a maybe probably

Yes!!

Everyone at the time knew the FA had let them off too lightly and that it was an "inside job" not to deduct them points. I am delighted now to see some kind of justice being done... at least, hopefully it will be!

Perhaps Robertson is listed as a striker, but Jan thinks he is better suited to playing on the wing? After all, he seems to think BWP and McGoldrick are wingers.

West ham unable to appeal. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7637499.stm Hillarious!

Who is going to want to manage a club where every game might be your last? ie. game-by-game contract. How can you build something with that kind of a deal? Newcastle are a joke.

I can't believe the FA charged Boothroyd. talk about making a bad situation worse! I'm sure he was out of line. But they could have been a bit lenient given that the ref f'ked up! Just wait till another club appeals for £30m when Reading win the league on goals scored

We simply must get at least a point at Doncaster or heads may drop beyond recovery.

The return of Svensson has done little to shore up the defence. They all sound like they've never seen eachother before. Bialkowski has gone downhill since we first signed him- maybe time to get rid.

Yes!! Stern john!!

well. That's the end of that then.

Optimism sweeps through the thread. 3-0 Saints

Because we didn't score in 1 game? oh noes. Lets forget that a few days ago we scored 2 against Ipswich.

I thought Best was just starting to look ok when we he refused the contract and left us. He scored a couple of goals to help us into the play-offs. Ok so he scored the freak own-goal and missed a penalty too... But I was starting to like him,

Against Brum there always seemed to be options for people on the ball to pass to. Easy options. Playing close together in small passing triangles and good variation of backwards and forwards passing. I've missed the last couple of games - but is it that people now don't want the ball/responsibility? Confidence.

Totally agree. It is all that's keeping me going. We could play like that!

Steve, please email the club with the list

He has improved since he started. Still remember him giving the ball away to allow Reading to score a couple of years ago. At that time he was a rabbit in the headlights. But now at least he has some "presence". I just don't think he's good enough for the first team yet... perhaps in time?

I presume Vignal is just kicking his heels back at Lens? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%A9gory_Vignal We ought to get him back!
