Reading vs Exeter City Matchday Thread

I found it baffling that Perks was on the bench today.
Was it really because he could leave the technical area and coach a bit in that capacity?
If so, we’ve really gone a bit odd.

To be fair, I'd rather watch Perks running around than Tom Carroll!

I think Reece Cole is a good player.
And has been a very good signing for us.
It’s good that we have him for the foreseeable future.

A mere glimpse of a revival of which lasted 3/4 days, and we’re back down to earth starting the year losing a game we needed to win.

We are a complete mess of a football club on and off the pitch and now we’re giving a manager with 1 win in 16 games money to spend in the transfer window to try keep us up in league 1.

We also need to beat Carlisle too on Saturday. I don’t trust the majority of this lot at all.

It’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

I thought Jack Aitchison did well today.
He seemed to me to work hard, was tenacious and showed some skill.

The whole Perkins thing is clown stuff and silly games and if he really did it because of coaching from the side then jeez… desperate times.

I can’t fully put my finger on it, but I get the vibe of the leadership being a bit tinpot and loose - it’s little things like the above.

HNY Bridgy - what sarnies have you packed today ?Up The Democratic City !

Happy New Year to you too.
Two slices of brown bread, two (pre-cooked) cold sausages and a boiled egg, consumed at Chieveley Services.
I bought a coffee there, but no coffee was available at the football even before kickoff!
So I had a tea, with no milk.
No wonder Reading aren’t in the Premier League anymore.

No he didn't. I know it's all about opinions but Aitchison offers nothing.

Unfortunately it sums us up. Tisdale playing himself, we are no ordinary club etc etc.

Ok.
Fair enough, I stand corrected.
