Only one place behind Reading too. Get them into the drop zone. I'd love it here at work. So many Royals fan. I may become a secret Miller for the season

Don't you work in Reading? Nothing wrong with supporting your home Club rather than one of the big boys in the Premier league.

Mark Robins has been sacked as manager of Coventry. Second longest serving manager in the top 4 leagues after Pep, 7 years. Remarkable achievement when you think of the tightrope managers in the lower divisions walk. I'm sure he will be picked up by a club soon.

Always get nervous when a championship manager gets sacked. Selles could be off.

How's everyone getting on?

Yet another takeover has fallen through for us, with a previously unknown personal debt secured on the stadium. So we could be part owned by a Chinese bank if they call said loan in, which will cause all sorts of problems. Just when you think things can't get much worse! New buyers are in ongoing talks, so hopefully a deal can be agreed but it's all a mess off the pitch.

On it we're just outside the play offs and performing really well. Great at home especially but away quite disappointing. That said we've had a lot of the top sides away so that should improve. The style of football is excellent to watch, a team of largely U21 players with a handful of top senior players. High press, intense attacking football and the players are really putting in a shift every match. Miles better than watching tedious football in the Championship from lazy mercenaries!

Oh dear. Injuries to Smith and Wifi code could start to cost us.

To Hull and back?

Sad to see him jump ship at the first chance, feel like he's let the players and fans down. But football is a business and he's likely trebled his wages and more.

Hunt is decent replacement and let's be honest, until we get new owners we're not going anywhere or building towards anything. Bindon surely off in January?
