dawson

Nielson Loovens Venancio

Hunt Pudil
Pussy
Boyd Matiass
Bob & Rhodes

would be my punt resting Reach getting rid of Palmer & Fox and trying Pudil there ! giving Nielson and dawson another crack and resting other defenders for Loovens wallace needs competition aswell so maybe Matiass can give him some ? Rhodes needs to keep playing and Bob might work out ok with the help of Boyd and Matiass ? Joao is unfit and needs resting !

Screw the cup. Message Alert: We are NOT going to win the cup!!!

And message to imre: "Bob might work out?" That doozer couldn't work out even if all the Reading players stood in a line and showed him the way to the net. "This way Bob. Now kick the ball with one of your feet. Anyone will do. No, no, no. not with your arse... And not with your thingy...Oh, dear that one went just wide. Better luck next time..."

Of course we're not going to win the cup. It'd just be nice to have something to focus on for a bit as league football is just depressing, so very depressing at the moment.
The Club's a fkuking mess for it's supposed stature and with the financial backing we've had over the past few years it's fair to say that 'underachieving' would be sugar coating it.
All down hill since the Hull loss at Wembley, we haven't moved in the right direction since, and if we did, the baby steps were so small I missed it.
Glad Carlos is gone but also grateful for the first season and half he had us playing the best football I've seen in decades.
The problem for us now is the same as it always has been, we have a squad of crocks and deadwood. This lot are just multimillion pound crocks and deadwood as opposed to the cheap dogshit we've signed for the last 15 years.
Hopefully, Jos can spend the remainder of this season figuring out who he wants and who can fkuk right off come august.
We need to start planning for next season.

Agree with all you say Stateside but I still think the important games are league ones. I'll be glad when we get 50 points. We are that close to being in a relegation battle.

We have attempted to "buy" promotion for a couple of years but a combination of poor signings and injuries have left us without achieving that goal, we now need to stabilise the club and the team and let Jos decide what he needs to push us on, but the reality might be that promotion is put off for a couple of years. Chansiri I think has realised this, maybe six months too late but at least he is making changes to get us going forward again. The new CEO has a poor reputation because of what happened at Charlton but her remit there was to get the club intro a position where it could sustain itself, something we need to do but without the turmoil within the club that they had nor are we a team that was essentially punching above its weight like they were. We are a top 30 team in the country, but we only have the 8th or so biggest revenue in the Championship and that is not going to change anytime soon. It took Brighton 5 years to go up, Derby who are similar in what they have done to us are still trying, although they look good this season, we need to have some patience now and let Jos get on with developing the team.

So the cup does matter because FFP tells us we have to take the cup games a bit more seriously then we have for a few years!! The revenue for getting to say a quarter final could be the difference between getting a player in or not, we need revenue!!

Think it was last year when I said I was concerned that a key player or two could get injured and guess what someone did. I'm seriously worried we might get caught up in a relegation battle. I still say piss on the cup. Field as many deadbeats as we can muster.
