Leicester Vs Reading

[Avon Royal]

lauding leicesters mad approach.

I don't think Leicester's approach was lauded much. More teams like Stoke / Wigan / Bolton etc.

Just enjoy the win Brendy, the point scoring can wait for another day.

Imagine what he could do with a board that actually supported him and gave him resources most other managers have, frightening.

Is Sven a bad manager ? Or just under pressure to deliver.

Reading in recent years have a formala that works. In that no player is bigger than the club.

I dont know and I don't care, im talking about BMD and how if he had proper backing he would be more successful.

Must admit I thought you were having a dig at Sven in a sarcastic way too.

Just read the leicester forum, is this really what football fans have come to? Ignorant doesn't even begin to describe them.

. its a gøod result regardleess,and one in the eye for the ambition merchants who make no allowances for teams gelling or improving when writing us off and lauding leicesters mad approach.

Who's not making allowances? I'd say that those bemoaning the perceived lack of ambition are talking up Leicesters long term potential for the season than just today (admittedly I haven't looked at the prediction threads).

Leicester fans seem to be questioning their team's mentality. I think you have to watch that when you add a bad-tempered hothead like Mills, plus nasties like Paintsil and Nugent, to the mix, on big money. I've had the same thought about Ipswich's adding the likes of Bowyer and Chopra. Reading's scrutiny of the character of anyone they sign is an underestimated aspect of their success as a "team". In a way, Rodgers's recruitment of Mills was untypical of our recruitment methods in that respect.

I think that's a very fair point.

Don't know what it is that McD has got but he continually loses his better players yet still manages to get great results, having lost Mills, Kish and Long, 3 strong players from the second half of last season he shuffles his pack, and picks up a result like this..........brilliant stuff !! Mr Mad you can sell away the team but thank heavens you cant sell the spirit that the manager gets into these players, must be worth a few bob that.

Imagine what he could do with a board that actually supported him and gave him resources most other managers have, frightening.

reading's problems begin when mcdermott too out grows this football club and/or grows frustrated at managing on a tight budget and having his best players sold. at the moment he's still grateful for being given the chance to manage the club, but if he continues to pull rabbits out of the hat like he did last season and is so far doing this season, then a new challenge at a bigger better club wont be far away.

You won't see any of the STG's on here tonight.




Just wait till we lose one, though

Spot on. Win we win you find out who the real supporters are.......................

A simply brilliant result and given Millwall's win today, last weeks point doesn't look quite so shabby.

I think it's time to reacquaint my Upper West seat with my fat backside

Personally I'd say you find out who the real supporters are when things are tough and they stick through those times with their continued support....

Great results today. Still too early to have any idea how things will pan out for the rest of the season though, and that remains the case for another half a dozen games, if not more.

Hopefully this is the sign of things to come and not just players getting a big result in a big game for the club.

Do you mean until the pre-season is over ?

We were already interested in Mills before Rodgers arrived.

indeed, he was a long time nicky hammond and brian mcdermott target.

Yes, one of them is saying "we need a striker, no matter what it costs". Well, they've got Nugent and Vassell.

Seriously, if I were a Leicester fan, I'd be wondering at the way the team that got promoted from League 1 and got to the playoffs in the Championship was dismantled. What for? If that were a Reading team, we'd've tried to keep it together. It was a bloody good team.

Whoever wanted him, he always seemed slightly un-Readingish to me in his temperament. Obviously, we could have done with keeping him, but in some ways I'm glad I don't have to support him any more.

[Ian Royal]

Absolutely super goal from HRK!

Where was the marking for Hunt though! Brilliantly placed header, but not exactly firm.

Reading will be bottom in a week. Leicester 4-0 Reading and we always lose at f*cking Portsmouth.

Just goes to show that all football forums are the same tbh 90% of fans are all doom and gloom with 10% realistic
