Reading FC - WTF!

Not really blogged since the end of last season as it took a while to get over being so near and yet so far.

At the time it seemed that Steve Coppell leaving might be the best for all concerned, how wrong that was!

Brendan Rodgers seemed a good fit and worth the money on paper, how wrong that seems to be also?

A lot of fingers were pointed at the Chairman when the "clear out" began, wrongly in fact as these players wanted to go and with the exception of Doyle (not setting the world on fire either BTW:-)) were not worth what we got for them!

Steve Coppell had these guys punching well above their weight and it just ran out of steam.

Rodgers still had enough players at the club to at least have a run at the playoffs, it would appear that certain faces didn't fit :

Tabb

Harper

Rosenior

All superior to the replacements but were sent out on loan, others such as Marek, Gunnar etc appear to have been buried and we paid 2m for Mills (what's that about?) and then dropped him?

The experiment with the youngsters didn't last long either, more tolerance and allowances would have been given had that continued perhaps?

But no, we now have a team that appears to be unfit, confused and now utterly devoid of confidence, due to the constant changes and tactical masturbation!!

If I hear one more press conference about one up front etc etc, I'll scream!!

I'm sure Brendan Rodgers is a good guy and is a good coach, he cannot however make the team play.

Options are:

Say goodbye now before it's too late

Bring in an experienced assistant to steady the ship and keep Rodgers in place

Get relegated

Pick one and soon Mr Hammond please?

BTW taking of Mr Hammond, Mea Culpa ???

Watch this space!
