Much as I want him to succeed and wish him well, the ideal would be Idah in and Cullen out

One place and one point off the play-offs. Not bad after the opening fixtures we faced.

Going to be quiet on here for a few days if people can't demand Sheehan's head or agonise over our striker woes. He can't even bring Fulton on to give a reason for moaning. :rolleyes:

Vip's on track for 30 goals this season. Ronald 23.

Never doubted him

Ronald's great

I don't agree. Kone was worth a punt but only the once. We were right to pull away.

Is there a limit of 15 posts per page on threads? So we only need 5,955 more posts to reach our goal.

I'm confident that we'll hit 400 pages AND land a couple of top strikers before deadline day. Then again I was confident that Bafetimi Gomis understood the offside rule.

Jesus, there’s a name I hoped never to hear again. Not content with getting us relegated, Paul Clement took Reading down to the relegation zone before they sacked him and nearly finished off Cercle Brugge, losing 17 out of 24 games before they showed him the door. Now there’s a man who could...

Few things to unpick there. 1 Watford fan says Sheehan is massively out of his depth. Hmm, no agenda/confirmation bias there at all. They are probably hurting big time having spent a long period of the game calculating how high in the table they would be tonight with all six points. 2 Did...

Watford’s manager outsmarted us first half. Didn’t allow us to play football, correctly sussed our weakness in set-pieces, used the offside trap well. Let’s see if Sheehan can be the smarter manager in the second half. If we are going to have a good season we need to be able to play teams like...

The 3rd kit badge looks like something from a bad acid trip from the 1970s (which is not actually off brand for this club…) but the rest of it is awesome.

To be fair, this time last week we had people questioning whether Sheehan should be sacked and if the management were behaving like clowns in a minefield in this transfer window. If a week’s a long time in politics it’s an eternity in football.

That’s an accurate summary if your name is Eeyore. Others (whose glasses are half full) saw progress and potential for a lot more from a squad that is still forming.

Sheehan seems to favour a 4–3-3 over (say) 4-2-3-1. If we do sign Malik, which players do you think will be first choice for the three MF roles out of Galbraith, Malick, Franco, Widdel and Fulton (answers may be different H and A)?

Feels like we have good cover for CB with Ben, Cameron and Casey, as long as all three stay fit. Was Ricardo one of those defenders who can also play FB?

I don’t dislike Jay the way some on here do, because I think he’s a better player than many give him credit for, but the rash tackles and pointless backward passes are maddening. If Sheehan plans to use him to frustrate more attack-minded teams, let’s hope we see more of the old Jay and less of...

Last night was further proof that we have a manager who is intent on adapting his tactics to the opponent he faces. Anyone who was afraid that Fulton is Sheehan’s new Grimes-the-Undroppable can relax. Those who hate Fulton’s guts not so much - I suspect we’ll see a fair bit of him over the full...

While largely agreeing with you, I do remember that 2-0 defeat at Watford in February 2009. Martinez had nothing on the bench other than like-for-like replacements for the starting XI. Playing in the rain on a pitch that most allotment holders would be ashamed of, we needed a team of Alan Tates...
