Championship and below 2015/16

:whoo: A win. Best football we have played all season in the second half against a decent Rovers team. McDermott's team talk at half time, and a substitution made a huge difference. Played to feet rather than hoof ball.

Goal in the first half was not bad.:whistle: McDermott got a great reception from the crowd. Think Homer is working with Aldershot fans.:whistle:

Funny enough I was drinking with an Aldershot fan at lunchtime. 1-0 against a fellow mid-table side is a decent side but hardly promotion form just yet. You'll be telling us McDermott is the saviour next. Does he have any German relatives?

Blackburn were unbeaten in eight going into the game, and we had lost last four, so a good result. Four points off the play offs so still in with a shout.

Not going to let this thread go the way of the Premier League one, where everyone just seems to slag off supporters of other teams. Happy to talk football with true fans, but sly digs at Liverpool or other Premier league teams have no relevance on this thread.

Now the likes of Fulham are obviously fair game. Still looking for a new manager ? Why don't you go our route and get an old manager back. Wonder what Felix is doing these days.:whistle:

If Felix came back I'd start supporting Bracknell Town... or Reading
 
A quick shout out for Woking.
Played away against a team above them and come away with a fabulous 5-1 win.
That's four wins in five since putting the whole squad up for loan ..................... marvelous.

Slime.

One of the guys in the swindle is a Reading fan - he was buzzing today as he left

Good result. Not far off the play offs but games played compared to some around them one or two more. If they can keep the form going..could be there or thereabouts

Different atmosphere in the ground today. Crowd right behind the players, and we had a plan B. Vydra substituted at half time, as whilst his movement is good, and he works hard, he just doesn't hold up the ball well enough.

William's goal was a stunner, and nearly as good as Blackman's at Hull. I can see why Rhodes scores so many goals, his movement inside the box is great, but outside the box he doesn't get involved at all. Looks slow and has a lazy style.

Lots of players have a lazy style. Berbatov a classic example. Glad it's a good start for Reading and there will be some happy people at work tomorrow.

I was being polite about 'lazy style'. Seen him play three or four times against us, and I reckon he has touched the ball less than ten times a game. Can see why no Premier League team has taken a chance on him, though his scoring record is easily the best outside the Premier League over a number of years. If you played up front with him you would be knackered at the end of a game doing all his running.

I can see your point and in the PL you can't have passengers. Do you think McDermott coming back is a good move?

Definitely. Knows the Club, signed quite a few of the players, and has a great record with us in the Championship. The players will play for him, and we were much more of a team today, rather than a bunch of individuals. If he can get Sa and Vydra to play together, then we will get goals. If not then we will be very reliant on Blackman, and he could go in January.
