Yeovil (H) BFTG

[loyalroyal4life]

we will never finish top 6, even if we did it would be by luck/ other clubs playing even worst than us!!

NA is tactically clueless, he does not seem to have an actual plan of action. I do not think the players warm to him in same way as Mcderm or even close to under Mcderm, those 2 factors together spells problems moving forward

Have to say I totally agree.

FFS stop pinning everything on Madejski.

Yeah, I've just had to block this RoyalBlue snooze fest.
So tedious: "Madejski this, Madejski that".

Do I give a f*ck?

Up until the time that the TSI shit hit the fan, 'Madejski this, Madejski that' was the very frequent promotional cry of the self-publicist Madejski and his merry band of followers.

Coward's way out using the block facility. Can't understand those who seem to lack the ability either to respond to things they don't like or simply just ignore it.

So here is a challenge to those who think I am so wrong to lay the blame at the Madejski's door. It is a challenge that he has shied away from so far. Sadly the journalist who conducted that particular interview has also failed to push the issue.

Care to explain why he gave such a categoric assurance of transfer funding in the last window and then failed to provide a single penny?

Was he pledging someone else's money? If so, then he would appear to have learned very little from the TSI mess. If he was pledging his own money then why did he then fail to put his money where his mouth was?

Honestly not enjoyed a game as much in yonks. Sure the result was gash-awful but three deserved reds, a missed penalty, a comedy OG and all sorts of nonsense made it pretty hilarious.

I'm not going into the whys and hows of not looking shite against 8 men but one thing stood out. #15, Duffy, was playing as a sweeper when we had a three man advantage. Absolute motm performance from him but surely the trick would have to spot this and dragged him all over the place. Gorkss off was a mistake, he was attacking crosses more than our strikers, and Blackmailed was an absolute nonentity.

We're so not going up this year, pray for more games like that and the angry, angry kid in front of me. "Ref, you're racist" "Send them all off, ref" ... To which a voice from behind him replied "we still wouldn't score, mate".

Don't know about racist but he was certainly shortest.

If Adkins don't start Drenthe next game then he need's sacking

Oh come on. Royston was clearly knackered after 10 minutes. There's no way he'd last a full game.

Quite an entertaining match. Well, second half anyway. Comedy penalty award and first sending off followed by two deserved red cards. Dreadful penalty followed up by a scrambled goal that almost wasn't given (was definitely over the line from where I sit but the Lino didn't give it). Then 20 minutes of rinse and repeat free kicks and corners that never even got close to a shot on goal.

Not getting the Guthrie love, as usual though I suppose.

When you still believe seven players on pitch means abandonment of a match I am struggling to see through the rest of your posts!

Not being able to beat the bottom club, at home, whilst they had 8 players on the field is simply not good enough.
3 defeats in a row, at home, to supposed "inferior" teams, is simply not good enough.
We are quite simply not good enough, and that is why we will be playing those rubbish teams like Wednesday and Blackburn again next season.

[Ian Royal]

You can use this match as a pretty good guide for who has a clue on this site. Just instantly discount anyone who says "we couldn't beat a side with 8 men".

They are after all, it seems, incapable of putting any thought in to realise Yeovil had 8 men for no more than 10 minutes, almost all of which was added time. Or that Yeovil started the match defensively and then went all out defence from the moment they got a player sent off, to the point they were playing 7-0-0 by the end of the match.

The reason they went down to 8 is because on the few occasions we did pull them out and looked to get through them, they scythed us down. So it was either force our way through a packed box with time running out or get fouled and force our way through a packed box.

We could certainly have done a better job. Particularly in the abysmal first half. But it just shows a complete inability to analyse beyond the most basic game headline.

Christ and there was me thinking we drew yesterday, what do I know???

[sandman]

Stop trying to act superior to people Ian.

10 minutes should be enough time for any competent team, never mind one chasing the play offs, to beat the bottom of the table side playing with significant reduction of players on the pitch. An excuse of we ran out of time or they defended for their lives really is just that, an excuse.

In my defence yesterday's game was just as disheartening as a defeat.

Ian you seem overtly aggressive towards anyone who shares a different opinion to yours. I suspect that's why most people on here think your a bit of a oxf*rd. But I respect that, stand up for what you believe in. Good on you fella.

I am well aware of the amount of time we had against 10,9 and 8 men but I was using a hyperbolical (although still valid) tagline, to accentuate our mediocrity for those deluded RTGs. I'm not claiming that you are necessarily one, I'm merely suggesting you know know oxf*rd all.

Impressed you've started to go to games though. Did your radio break or something?

"We were playing against 8 men for 10 minutes at most".
Oh, I was under the impression Yeovil started with 8 men!

Not sure what Ian Royal's playing at really. Bizarre RTG match reports 2 weeks in a row.

[Will95]

As much as Madejski can be a bit to blame sometimes, I don't get having a go at him. He's done wonders for the club and, as he has admitted, has taken the club as far as he can. He's obviously trying to sell to the right people and though Anton was this person, but it went tits up, and that's not Madejski's fault. He's doing all he can to pass us on to a suitable owner and move the club forward.

[Readars]

What gets me is Adkins and the players comments on BBC Radio Berkshire after the game.

“The lads are doing really well in training” “We had some great training sessions this week” “Training is going really well and we hope we can keep up this form”

FFS we are not interested in the FCKING training just say for once “We are absolute crap at the moment, the gaffer hasn’t a clue and nor do we.”

BBC Radio Berkshire please stop interviewing this bunch of clowns who follow the party line and talk a load of bull.

These players over performed for most of Brians tenure and are under performing with Adkins.

Rant over.

Agree with that. Also totally fed up with Adkins running commentary of the game in his post match interviews. Yes we were at the game and we saw what happened. We don't need you to repeat it. Just some insight. Oh for some honesty. Coppel " I can't explain it' or Pardew ' I got the tactics wrong - my fault.' or Macdee ' we were awful'. Please bring back some negativity when its needed. This man is just too happy and it aint right!! Does his glass ever run out??

Only way to get fit is play in games. Cant do it on the training ground

[Royal Ginger]

What a ridiculous thing to say. Of course you can get fit on the training ground.
