I always remember Paul Cook as a solid but ininspiring player when he played for us. I assume he is a better manager than he was a player.

As this thread is called the Positivity thread, it occured to me that we should take heart from Reading. I don't know if they have had lots of injuries or what but something has gone drastically wrong for them, and over the last 4 games their results have been worse than ours. It just proves how...

The problem with that is that Reading have lost the last 4 games including against us, conceding 13 goals in the process. So it's obvious they were in a false position, and will be close to the relegation zone by the end of the year if they keep this form up. You could still argue it was our...

Luton did even better and took 17 points from the last 10 games, post-lockdown. The lockdown and how it affected things is a massive clue to how they both stayed up

Barnsley took 15 points from the last 10 games last season, that's how they stayed up

Barnsley had less points than we currently have at the same stage last season https://www.royals.org/tables/191019.php

Each of those blocks have at least 2 teams currently in the bottom half.

A quarter of the season gone, and 9 points, that average equates to 36 points for the full season, and we have played a lot of the hardest teams once. We need to better the first quarter by 1 win in each of the 3 remaining quarters and a couple of extra draws. that would get us close to the 50...

I predict 2-0 to us. Biamou and Kastaneer to get the goals

It's nearly all loans though, and will have to be paid back at some point

For the reason quoted below, plus the impossibility of social distancing outside the ground, and through the entrances. And how can rival fans possibly have a socially distanced punch-up?

The way I look at it is this. I think Sisu still have some hope of a long term solution at the Ricoh, whether that be some kind of eventual ownership / part ownership, or a long term tenancy on comercially beneficial terms. But they have to have a viable plan B otherwise their only other plan is...

The original law only allowed for the replacement of an injured player, not a tactical change. sort of makes sense really.

Grasping at straws? The penalty was correctly awarded according to the rules, but there has been a lot of criticism of COH including a Taxi thread.

We have got to be targetting wins against Blues, Cardiff, Rotherham at home, and two of Wycombe, Sheff W, and Derby. Plus one or two draws from that list.

No but he had less than a second to react. Can you estimate how high a ball is going to bounce coming at that speed?

Watching their penalty again, it seems to me that their player deliberately aimed the ball at O'Hare, who initially tried to get his foot to it, then it seems he put his arms up to protect his head. Remember he had a bad head injury last year.

He needs a taxi driver's licence for that

Actually looking at the next set of fixtures, if we can beat Birmingham we would still be 21st, but we could be 1 win away from lower mid table. Most of the teams around us have a tough game coming up next. 2 points separate the 8 clubs above us, if we can beat Brum we should be looking at...
