Neil needs to tell these ‘players’ some home truths, his biggest hurdle will be motivating this pile of dross

All these ex stokies doing it fior other teams, really pisses me right off, shocking miss management, Tom ince should have been a legend for this club!!! He hasn’t done much for Reading despite his Daddy being the only one who could have convinced an owner to take a chance on his bloated salary. I wonder if he gets a cut of that?

wtf is baker doing shooting from there with 20 seconds left What else is he going to do? Every cross put in today has been awful. At least Baker had some chance of getting an effort in. Maybe not have a shot when there's a defender stood right in front of him, there was an easy pass for at least one last chance to put it into the box.

We lost 2-1 away in a notoriously tight league.
That said, Neil does himself no favours going 532, as this is about as far from playing the system your players are suited for as you can get.
And they're clearly all nowhere near fit enough, so work to do there.

Tom Ince you tosser. Most effort I’ve ever seen him give. No different to when he was at Stoke.

What is AN going to say about that pile of shite. It is no use having 60% possession if you have no idea how to use it. Reading were better than us full stop and deserved to win.

Clucas is an absolute arse and waste of a jersey. And yet still not the worst midfielder today.

Makes me angry that he was getting paid so handsomely when with us but played the majority of the time like he couldn’t be bothered. Makes you question the manager or his attitude. Either way he conned us.

That was awful and score flattered us if anything Delap just can't get into games at the minute. Difference was João...made a nuisance all game.
Meet the new boss....same as the old boss

Not one of them fuckers deserves to wear the shirt, not one. I would gladly see the back of all of them.

No positives at all today.
Maybe the manager will finally see what we have been watching for so many years.
Too many of these players are stuck in a rut & taking home decent money without working for it. He needs to get stuck into them and run them into the ground.
As for Neil, he’s had a nightmare today. The formation was ridiculous. Can’t believe he went back to it.

On the plus side at least we’ve shown we can be consistent. We were shit all game not just for half of it. BM Not quite, we were the better team in the first half

That side is awful.
We seem to be full of players who constantly make the wrong decision. Pick the wrong pass, hold on when they should pass, with the keeper again doing the wrong thing as a perfect example.
Throw in some questionable technical skills such as controlling a bouncing ball and we are what we are which is a side which will do very well to finish higher than 12th.
Neil really has his work cut out here. We're very poor.

We can't keep defending like that. We probably should have conceded 5. Sort the Defence and I think we look a different side

The hope that had been missing for the last couple of years and was briefly felt again last week seems to have fucked off again already...
I know that Neil needs time to sort this shambles out, but even a half-arsed new manager bounce would be very welcome

not one player can run with the ball all attacking is walking pace giving the opposition plenty of time to set two banks of four in defence and our only option is to end up back with our keeper or give it away not even school boy football rotten to the core this club I have supported for 55 years

Poor Neil has been left with some very unfit players. This is MONs mess due to his appaling training + pre season. Negligent. It’ll take weeks to get them fit for games. Neil has already said he will play the style of football that suits the players. But he hasn't so far, that's on him, not the previous management. Lapses of concentration is still the thing that destroys us the most. He has inherited a squad with no fit wingbacks, a mediocre LB and CBs, no RB. It’s difficult to pick a formation where there isn’t one or two square pegs, it is going to take a bit of time for him to understand the players he has, he has been dealt a really bad hand with our defence though.

Depressing, much for Neil to work on. You can't polish a turd. We are littered with mistakes, poor quality, poor choices, and poor fitness. Mid table will be an achievement.

Get on the phone to Ben Foster. We can't just give goals away like that.
Fuck Flint off - slower than Jagielka. Looks scary but is actually weak as piss.
Fuck Fox off - had a good game at Blackburn and has been dross since.
Get the fuckers fit.
Tell the clueless wankers to forget what MON told them - slow and steady achieves NOTHING in this league. They are so slow to think it's beyond belief.
