ramit Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So much for the Warnock experiment. With 442 being played, Martin should come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Managers should never lose their jobs. It's only down to the players.I didn't say that. If you want to blame McClaren for the poor first half performance, that's fair. But to call him out after two minutes, and for an individual mistake, that wasn't fair.

Gypsy Ram Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 For the last ten years we have been **** and we accepted it. We had no expectation. What's so cruel is that we were given hope and it has been taken away in a cruel manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovis aries Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If we fail today its down to the manager not covering for key players being out through injury , it should not have come down to today , we should have been top two , the blame is squarely on McClarens shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to call him out after two minutes, and for an individual mistake, that wasn't fair. I didn't call him out for the mistake. That was you being presumptuous. I said LOL at Derby and McClaren meaning 'I just have to laugh at Derby as we're that bad and McClaren with his recent record. It is laughable'.

Bris Vegas Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've mentioned the importance of a sysem/identity for so long, today it just appears we have none.Bent's a decent goal scorer, but he offers very little else and never comes looking for the ball - a trait you need to have from the lone striker.We just look so slow in possession it's all too easy for Reading to sit back and soak it up. There is no out-ball to the striker's feet because bent isn't that type of player.Midfield has been poor. Jeff Hendrick is so limited, literally offers nothing in the middle. Such a shame Dawks is out injured.Our distribution from the back is woeful. It's just all too slow and predictable - where has the pace gone?Looking at this display today, we've fallen miles behind Bournemouth and Watford. Don't want to blame McClaren, but we look tedious and that initial fast-football he brought here has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleyram Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 My vitriol?! What...three or four posts about McLaren in the last two years.The players performance is down to McClaren and McClaren only.He picks the team, organises the tactics, buys the players in etc.When he came here, his reputation was in the toilet as a head coach and he has done little to enhance that. Getting bored are you...it's my opinion and the league table is backing me up.I still say we'll be OK today though as we're at home to one of the worst clubs in the league and an out of form one at that.M8 you are 100% correct , how this man is being linked to premiership jobs is laughable , but don't criticise him on here that's not allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost count of the number of slow and straight long balls down the line. When was that ever effective football? Who's telling them to punt it up all the time?

When was that ever effective football? Who's telling them to punt it up all the time?And I its not that, it's triangles in midfield, that eventually go back to the defense for a punt. Absolutely no incisive balls, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Chris Martin's attitude there is poor. It seems like he just isn't up for the fight, like quite a few of our players.Our biggest game of the season and we're so tepid.
