What's the problem with Keith Curle?

Are you implying Edj is a better defender than Wood? In fairness to Clarke and Christie, both have had really bad injuries in the last 2 season, it's bound to hamper development. Never been too keen on 2 left footed CBs, but if I had to drop 1 defender, it has to be Edj.

We have one of the best teams on the league, yes, but, our defence is bottom half! We concede too many and the best, and purest example I can pick out is v PNE, both goals were terrible to concede, Edj is an easy target for teams, Matt Smith bullied him, King (PNE) bullied him, he's below...

Thinking about it, I think this game v Yeovil is must-win, so I think MR should drop a couple of players for the JPT game v Crewe, nothing dramatic, just 2-3 players, I'd start: Murphy Clarke Wood Edj Adams Baker Thomas Jennings Fleck Sheff Elliott Give Elliott a go upfront to prove...

And put Bailey on the wing! :facepalm: Glad he isn't manager!

To ignore there's a slim chance isn't rational nor pragmatic, that said, I guess Reading fans would've said similar things last season, especially as S'hampton and West Ham were 'bossing it'.

Pitch invasion if we win the away leg (and go through!) is necessary!

We do need to tighten up in defence, we've conceded some bad goals, the 2 v PNE were terrible, v Carlisle, v Shrews, them alone, and we'd be in the autos (or very near) our defence is poor, I suggest we sign a CB, I think Wood is solid, Clarke and Christie are good, Adams is good, but Edj is a...

I think it'll be a trademark 4-4-1-1 with the only change being Bailey in for Elliott. If we stay 4-4-2, it'll be Bailey in for Sheffrey and Moussa on the wing. Subs being: Dunn, Clarke, Thomas, Fleck, Elliott Or if we go 4-4-2, subs will be, Ball in for Elliott (as he's starting) and...

Exactly, we aren't far off, we can do it, but we have to go on a bloody good run now.

That, and dropping 4-4-2, there's a reason the best teams have dropped it. Oh, but they're all negative... :facepalm:

No, I bet some cringey Royalist would give them their tickets.

On the money BSB. Not on here, but to my mates I've said it shows how weak English players are because of the lack of foreign based players, I was faced with a hostile response! Problem is, everyone here has their head up their arse 'we have he best league in the world' (which isn't true...

Probably because many are living marginally above the poverty line.

What's he said, I'm watching the rugby on iPlayer, I'll watch this tomorrow.

When Clarke scored, it looked like it went over so for about 5 seconds we were stood there half cheering, but thought it was over for a goal kick, then the players ran to the corner, then we cheered, but it was kinda awkward.

No, we're certainly better than QF and Round of 16, that's a given, we've been a 'backward' power in football for way too long, and I would absolutely put that down to us emphasising 4-4-2 and a more direct game, in 2010 Beckenbauer ripped into our style. Of the 'elite teams' we're a laughing...

No, it's pragmatic, view, we concede too many and when we have difficult games we won't score 2 or 3, we'll struggle Edj is shit, but a legend on Twitter and everyone is up his arse, he had a shit, and I mean shit game on Friday, our worst player, effectively gifted PNE's 2nd last week as well...

Don't get me started on the Edj...

Stats speak in my favour, we had 5 shots on goal in the 1st half. We dominated possession because Sheffield U were terrible, really negative and hoofed it back to us whenever they got the ball, easy pickings for us, and we only scored 1, and created 1 more 'half chance', which Baker blazed...
