There would be some nice symmetry if Leam also gets sacked after a Doncaster game - odds on two of those in one season would generate life changing payout !
I watched the game with the Doncaster commentary and, as with most of the away commentaries I have seen this season, it was quite balanced. After about 15 minutes the co-commentator said that he thought of Reading as a passing side but today they were playing very much long ball which was a bit of a surprisel-I felt like trying to contact him to tell him that he was wrong and that hoofball is the norm for us. Regardless of what our style is, what I find unforgivable over these past two games is that we are making such a lame attempt to reach the play-offs and the effort has been poor. Managers talk about nothing being left out…
One things for sure, Leam, Mr Couhig and Co. will have very few excuses next season. As I reckon, give him the summer and autumn term….even Sir Steve hardly ignited us to start with, and we as a team including management, have survived another season. 1970s conspiracy theory coming up………. “Reading are always the nearly-men deliberately when it comes to promotion, we couldn't afford it” Next season, we start off on better footings.

When Coppell came in we were in the Championship, we're league 1 now so you can't compare.
Subjective, who’s comparing? When Richardson came in we were destined for Div 2, some might say :roll:
Subjective, who’s comparing? When Richardson came in we were destined for Div 2, some might say :roll: When Richardson came in we had just lost one game in eight, away to Cardiff in a game where we were the better side. O’Connor and Marriot were just back and getting match fit. Performances were improving. What Richardson needs now is for Paul Cook to come in for a couple of years to set everything up for him. Again.

I’m no LR fan-boy, and as I said, he’ll have no excuses next season. The managerial merry-go-round has really served us well hasn’t it?
