I think Murphy is a decent solid keeper who has got better as season has gone on and has made some crucial save to preserve/win us points. My one gripe is sometime he parries forward rather than pushing to the side away from goal. he was not to blame however for the woeful defending for first...

I certainly did not think the penalty was the worst to be fair to Clingan....keeper guessed right and saved well, sometimes you have to give the goalie credit. I agree Juke's penalty that is still rising if we do go down will be far more costly but there are a lot of juke lovers on here. I...

How can he contibute currently if Thorn does not start him in xi.....or bring him on from the bench for more than 2 minutes though in fairness? :facepalm:

I've reached the conclusion some on this site are morons...it has taken me a while. DonGonzales makes part comments to prove his point but not the whole truth.....and then complain when people lift part of his stupid comments to prove it......This is before we took Nimely & Norwood as...

Definitely not done what he had the capability to do which is a shame. Was his lack of fitness shocking - Yes but not convinced this was the whole story tbh. Has Thorn let himself down by not bringing him on for longer for at least the last two or three games? Undoubtedly shown with this...

I was not stating our 30 was perfect by a long shot - but I think the problem in a sense lies in the senior players that make up the 30. Also "experience" does not always relate to minutes on the pitch entirely. Cameron & Clarke are not fledglings and have played enough minutes over the past...

I think going back to the original thread a squad of about 30 should be sufficient inclusive of youngsters and we are not too far off that. 3 Goalies (2 experienced, one young) - Murphy, Dunn, Ireland......sort of there would like a better no 2 but there you go 10 defenders (6-7 experienced...

I got a letter pre-game stating something like ticket may have no bearing to where you actually sit? When I got to game was told I could sit where I liked so no problems or anything different then what I expected to be honest. If people told they can sit where they like cannot really expect...

Not amongst us fans who I thought were fantastic on the day......but more worrying perhaps from the players. I thought the majority just seemed to be going through the motions yesterday......with maybe the exceptio of Nimely & Keogh. I find this type of disply frustrating when you are...

No thanks......look at what he has done with this career since he left us......erm says it all really! His attitude sucked personally. If was willing to tough it out in league 1 with league 1 wages then he might be a risk worth taking. Something tells me though he would rate himself much...

Cheers folks defo drinking in Reading centre pubs pre match sounds best option, any favoured pubs you would recommend?

Despite recent last minute heartbreaks have booked tickets for Reading away game. I have never been to Madjeski before and have a few questions. a. Are we bringing a lot of fans? At one stage it was touted that loads were going? Was not the impresion I got from guy selling tickets though...

Hi All, With Clingan speculation just wondered if anyone knew if he had travelled with squad tonight yet? I think he is one of our most expendable players but on the flip side would be nice to name unchanged xi after performance against Middlesbrough! Cheers PUSB

You'd be surprised sw88 - Clingan, Crainie, Eastwood, Wood, McPake, Bell, Baker, McSheff all will not be on tuppence hapenny a week. We are definitely not on the lowest wage bill in championship I guarantee you that!

As I said in an earlier thread we have a silimilar resource in terms of numbers and wage bill to the majority of the championship sides. Therefore given our financial plight not unresonable to expect numbers have to move out before more move in now. If we could lose players like Rod, Clingan &...

Cheers Folks for comments agree with most views on here. I know sisu are getting slaughtered and I am not defending them at all but we have 21 players above on books plus Jordan Clarke and a few others. Most championship clubs have about this level of resource/wages bill.. Therefore for...

Looking at 16 selected yesterday and comparing to Middlesboro I thought our 16 looked stronger? I certainly think we now have a squad of mid-table standard if they stay injury free - I did not think we were worst even before new additions? Considering that McPake, Bigi, Hussey & arguably...

Couldn't agree more Eastwood very useful sub and he can only get fitter if he gets his head right. Looking at bench. Dunn, Baker, Bell, Eastwood, Wood. All decent options even before loans did not think we had the worst squad in championship by a mile......that's three home wins on the bounce...

I reckon he will play left back non-league.....I think with Wood, Crainie & Keogh we are ok for centre back + McPake of course. Only way he will play centre back is if he moves Keogh to right back at the expense of Christie which would be a little harsh but he also is young. I think strongest...

I think he will prove to be a great signing and provides some much needed competition/cover for Hussey who has coped reasonably well but is still relatively young and experienced at this level. Will add some much needed fight to our team - with Keogh, Deegan and Herman in the team we may...
