11 Cup Finals to go

[andrew1957]

Well Brain has been appointed - for better or for worse and we all need to get behind him now and support both him and the boys.

The next three games are all winnable. We need at least 7 points from them - there are no acceptable excuses - there should be no more hesitation in front of goal.
I am backing the boys for two wins against Barnsley and Plymouth and at least a point away at Doncaster. None of these teams are on the greatest of form and we have to push on now - or else relegation will look probable. 7 or 9 points on the other hand and we can start to look up the table and enjoy the Cup game against West Brom.

Come on and back Brain and the boys. URZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Last time you put up one of these kind of threads - x more cup finals to go - we promptly got relegated .

Much as I hate the decision and everything Madejski has done to our club since we got into the Prem, I agree with this. So much as it hurts me to say it...

Can we not treat the next 20 games as cup finals please?

None of our players will turn up, expecting to have long since been knocked out and looking forward to watching each cup final on TV with a few beers.

Same as you. It's depressing times but we have to stop moaning and complaining (I count myself here) and get behind the team. Come on Urz!!!!

So far so good. Still too much hesitation in front of goal but at least we looked solid at the back.

What about round 6 and the semi final then?

[rob9182]

McD is the right decision for the moment and everyone needs to get behind the team like we did in the cup and maybe if we get behind the strikers aswell they all might start scoring...maybe....just maybe

I've excluded them on the basis that they already have a specific title, but ok, 23 then.

Scarily, enough, IMO not even the most on that thread. IMO that's reserved for:

To those who before Christmas said we were going down, and to those who had this view confirmed when we didn't spend zillions in the January window, and should have spent like Bolton did, and to those who seemed to take a real pleasure in seeing that their predictions of relegation might come true, and to those who poured scorn on theose people who dared to suggest we're not going down, and to those really clever people who actually put hard-earned money on bets saying we would go down I say

Well found Floyd and Platy.
Andrew was even full of confidence as late as 22nd March in that season-Andrew please don't put the mockers on us again,this time as early as the end of January.
I think you will find that the likes of Floyd,AP and me (those that you referred to two seasons ago-is it really only 20 months ago when we were relegated from the Prem.?) tell it how we see it rather than how we would like it to be.
We probably all rather hoped that Andy Murray would win today rather than go with the hype and expectation and on Reading matchdays we (speaking for myself here) desperately want our team to win but feel that screaming "Back the Boyz" is more likely to give the players an immediate headache rather than spur them on to victory.

Other than not booing, we fans can do nothing about how the players perform-it's totally down to them and I hope that the lads, the manager/coaches have enough about them to conjur up the 7 wins or so that are needed to keep us up despite the very minor bonus of relegation being 3 local matches v Saints,Bournemouth and probably Swindon.
As I see it that is the frustration for the football fan-the fact that there is nothing we can do.

Looks like two of these fixtures might be quite handy for you Victor, me ol' mucker. But do I want them? Do I fcuk.
