Robins has mentioned in dispatches how professional McFadz, Kelly, Godden, Jones and Allen are and how hard they train. I even remember him saying how hard Bakayoko amd Biamou had worked and how they had both improved their game while being at the club. It is clear the type of player Robins...

He was only back in training last week general running and stuff, not even training with the first team. Why would he be in the under 23's today? But Robins has said that Kelly and Godden are good at working at general fitness when out injured. So once they get back in full training they are...

The West End smothered our vocal support while we were at Highfield Road... it should have been given to away supporters. I have never known City fans being flat away and I have been on the terraces when it has been two coaches, so barely 100 fans in the 70's

Da Costa is our weakest player but he is not garbage. Unless you are in that small group who think Da Costa, Moore, Wilson, Maatsen, Hyam, McFadz, Sheaf, Allen, Shipley, Gyokeres and Waghorn are all garbage and a waste of time. Because all those between the end of last season and start of this...

We have always had really good vocal support - even if smothered by the accoustics of the West End. Plus a good healthy vocal away support. It went dire at the Ricoh when everyone was spread out. Improved since we have restricted it to the East Stand for atmosphere. Despite all the tooing and...

Football has always been a tough work environment where your face either fits or it doesnt. That can change literally overnight when managers change. In this case it may be harsh, but I think Robins is being honest and totally open - if you want to play football it won't be here go and be...

This sort of thread in August can only be bettered by one in September "Where will we finish next season?"

The chance of watching a team live each week v watching a team on telly each week. I think that is what converts us all in the end. Hope you are a fan for life and just enjoy it.

I would have thought any free agents we were looking at would be already here and training with us? I think we will be looking at players under the age of 23 and probably a loan.

Dabo wasn't "absolutely raging at him" at all. Yes there were times when he was telling him where he wanted him to be... but we all know he needs a bit of help with his positional play. That is how he will learn. I thought he did okay over all. It was noticeable a few, and it was a few...

Robins busted in and said, "What's that noise?" Oh man, you're just jealous it's the City Boys We gotta fight For our Bright To party We gotta fight For our Bright To party

This will not be an easy away game. But we are a good footballing team, so we can go there with some confidence and have the ability to get something out of the game. Come on City.

Did what he needed to do. He had a hand in the winning goal, the move started with him.

Not fully convinced. He looks good until turned. Has zero pace and then panics. Could do with a bit more upper body strength to really dominate the opponents. One thing I think we forget about is mental strength - something McFadz has.

Can only really see one coming in a LWB. But I wouldn't say no to another CB.

Sounds like he is feeling sorry for himself and that might be the main reason his career has stalled with us.

He does a lot off the ball which helps other players but can go unappreciated by the fans. He does look like he is still trying to fit in and nothing is falling for him. Yesterday he was in the right position for a couple of simple tap ins if the ball hadn't stuck to their keeper. The one...

Thanks for the responses - I know all about the connections between Reading and Chelsea - I still think it it is sad supporting two teams 😂

The good news is we have put some good results on the board. We have looked average to good. But I do feel we are playing within our abilities rather than above them. If we can gain confidence and kick on it could be an enjoyable season.

Reading Youth? 😂 The guy I was talking to was 60 and not a day younger... Chelsea pensioner without a doubt 😂
