Reading v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 25.02.23

Right, this structured dialogue meeting needs to become a free question event, no time to plan political answers from sycophantic supporters.

Sadler needs to face some real questions and man up and be honest. Of course that is never going to happen. He is the boss, he is in charge, he takes the plaudits when things go well, but I'm afraid he has to take the can for this. It's not been the odd mistake, it's been a catalogue of naivety and neglect. I'm sorry but he made the wrong decision when he bought the club. A vanity project that has backfired massively.

I put down the players in our match day squad today earlier in the thread and also a list of our injured layers, I have put them below again. If you look at that it ells you all you need to know about why we are where we are. Quitch went because he saw it coming, MA was a ludicrous appointment as was McCarthy. There has been no investment on the pitch for 18 months, that is unforgivable, why? Only Sadler knows, but he has let the club down and when we go down we are in a desperate situation with about 9 players that will be left in the squad. Never mind a promotion push we will more likely be in another relegation battle.

I'm fed up with hearing Sadler saved the ** club, he really didn't, he has done what had to be done, that's all and now he is turning his back because he is totally clueless. I'm sure I will get dog's abuse by the usual Sadler lovers but I don't care, the bloke is not the right person to run our football club. This season has been as bad as anything we experienced under the vermin football wise and I hate typing that.

Take out the loan players and it's

Maxwell
Lyons
Nelson
Husband
Thorniley
Garbutt
Connolly
Carey
Madine
Lavery
Grimshaw
CJ
Dougall
Gabriel


Injured players are

Yates
Anderson
Fiorini
Bridcutt
Stewart
Goode
Ekpiteta
Trybull
Beesley
Lavery

Of those 8 are probably out for the rest of the season but even if they were fit how many would actually make a difference?

Yates
Fiorini
Stewart
Marv
Trybull

The recruitment of players has been negligent.

Well said some of us have been saying similar for quite a while 👍
 
Some boos from the away fans I think. Every right to boo.

Strange seeing McCarthy shake hands with the players. I know it’s only a game but you’d think he would be wanting them back to dressing room to bollock them.

Might be a big goal for GD.

As shit as we were in areas we aren't any worse off...

We are from my perspective. That was the last straw for me. Shit forward play, shit defence, garbage all over the pitch. Dear Mr McCarthy, take your house cleaner and s*d off. I'd rather have Stephen Dobbie in charge for the last few games.
 
McCarthy is a dead man walking. He's not going to save us. His words and methods have failed miserably..though I accept he's been dealt a terrible hand with injuries and suspensions. Can't see us winning another game till end of season. We'll get a pummelling next week which will shatter the players confidence further for the remaining 11 games. We need to accept we are League 1 club now..look at new manager recruitment now..so he can evaluate the squad early and have a complete overhaul. A complete and utter mess brought on by poor recruitment plus poor player indiscipline and a terrible injury list leaving us short of options.
