Blackburn game

Important game for us today in Blackburn. I hope the up rather than down Blackburn turn up in their very mixed season. It brings back memories of the Brentford game in the sixties where we needed them to beat their opposition for us to get promotion. Despite a fair percentage of us Rs supporters bei...

Re: Sheffield Wednesday: Another Sell-Out Today!

We looked lethargic from the start. Why we persisted with the hoof it up to Armstrong system I do not know. It was obviously not working from the kick off. Armstrong is not a centre forward/target man. He lacks control, the ability to hold the ball up and is easily bullied off the ball choosing to c...

Sad loss at a comparatively young age.
Had the pleasure of seeing him perform in Hammersmith Odeon in mid 70’s. Excellent live.
RIP

Re: Stan Bowles

Such a sad ending for a man who gave so much pleasure to those who watched him play. A truly great player in these days of ordinary players being praised for having only half the talent he had. When he joined in 1972 from Carlisle you just knew this was a special player. I think I’m correct in sayin...

The Pitch

Watching on tv yesterday I thought the pitch was very poor in places especially near the
Stanley B stand and it looked like a ploughed field in places.
This is unacceptable for a new pitch and several players commented on it.
Interesting to see if the club comment.

Re: Watford Game

So which Rs team will continue for the rest of the season? The one which has failed to produce consistent results under the last umpteen managers or one that will now knuckle down and get us out of the mess they have got us in. Unfortunately they now know their individual positions are secure with n...

Rumours

This apparent disconnect between the club and the Board not helped by the deafening silence recently is breeding all sorts of internet rumours concerning our financial situation. Also not helped by no new DOF appointment and the sudden departure of Ramsey. Such cost saving measures only breeds such ...

Re: AFC Bournemouth Yesterday.....

Yes Young Kerrins long gone are the days when FA Cup game had that magical feeling. It gave lower league teams chance to play against first and second division teams with the chance of an upset however remote. It was a different feeling walking up to the ground on a Cup day whoever you were playing ...
