I’ve never agreed with you so many times before! I also found Chaddy’s tipping point reference very funny!

I’ve no idea how true this is, but someone once told me the pitch drains into storage which is pumped into the brook behind the Riverside and they have a problem emptying into the brook if it’s too high? Anyone else ever heard that story? -
Rotate first eleven indeed.

Chasing is the key word, Chaddy. As in, hunting down. Competing to a high standard against teams in and around the top 6. Challenging sides in the top 2, 3, maybe even taking points away from them. Playing professional sport on the same pitch and not being blown away by their superior quality from the get go. Unfortunately, the only teams we’re capable of looking competent against are those at the bottom of the league—teams closer to league 1 standard than top 6 championship standards.

For me, it’s because the one thing we do not have is time. Next season we will not have Harvey Elliott. We might not have Adam Armstrong. Ryan Nyambe, Lewis Holtby and Joe Rothwell will have either left, renewed their deals... or be in the final year of contract. FFP works in cycles. We’re at the end of the cycle, we won’t have money to spend even if the owners gave it to us. Everything has been building up to this moment.

I should think so — it’s a disgrace. Let’s also have a full investigation into how has it got like this, whilst we’re at it, to ensure that we avoid having to rip the entire thing up again. -

Without trying to stop the discussion, to be clear what is and isn’t acceptable here: Questioning somebodies opinion, or asking for their comment is absolutely fine.

Not necessarily - if Reading win than we are further away from the playoffs at this point in the season than we have been at any other full season with Mowbray in charge. -
