Royals and Racers 359 Royals fans made the trip.

Fair play to them. Tuesday night away in February to watch Wigan vs Reading.

Discount my son and his mate, they only made the trip across from Salford.....

Clear option to go 3 at the back now, though would not expect such a move until they’ve had a chance to work on it in training. You would have thought that if that was his preferred set up, which from previous claims might well be the case, then I would assume they have already been working on that...

Things I don't want to see at Bolton: 1) Wing playing just in front of the back 4. He is wasted there. 2) Defensive midfielders playing in attacking positions 3) Significant amounts of long balls 4) Michael Stickland 5) Matty Jacob 6) Garcia on the left wing 7) An over-reliance on Wing. We always se...

With 47 league goal contributions over the past three seasons (two of those in relegation threatened teams) we should be looking at a fee well in excess of £1m, if not £2m. Players with consistent goal and assists across multiple seasons go for a premium fee.

From comments on Twitter, Jacobson apparently said at the weekend that our remaining loans spots would be held back until (late) August so doubtful this will happen if it is a loan. Also we could do with experience rather than more youth. Jacobson definitely said that as I was listening in to a con...

traff Femi AZEEZ (24) > 11

That's not a common name so I'm amazed we had two players with that name on our books.....

I believe, in this great run of form they've had, they have conceded more shots than their opposition in all of those clean sheets, which is largely down to the performances of the young on loan keeper from Palace. That is some record that surely must come to an end soon. I'm not saying they have be...

Does Selles ever tailor the team based on the opposition (or even whether we are home or away)? If he could he would play the same 11 every week I think his hand is a little forced at the moment, no? It is, but the earlier discussion was around Elliott or Savage where he does have a choice - as soo...

Yeah. As I said last time,and clearly explain this time, he gives the ball away a lot and we need someone sterner in there, like Savage, and Elliott is clearly the first midfielder to lose his place out of him, Wing and Knibbs. Gives the ball away a lot, but by that score so do the others: Passing ...

We got as far as just before the M5 turn off to Cheltenham when we found, just hopped off the motorway, turned round and straight back on the road back to Brum. Only 45 minutes each way so not too bad overall. Was a pretty wet trip down the M5, although the rain eased off south of Worcester as we h...

OK, discuss then, what is advantage if it's not the ref signalling to play on after an offence against the, usually, attacking side? Seem to recall many occasions where the ref signals to play on and the game continues only for the said ref to take action against the perpetrator of "the offenc...

Gloucester City 3 Plymouth Parkway 2 in front of 812 unsegregated fans (around 30 from Plymouth who travel to the game on the team coach.....) Gloucester were well in control and 3-0 up before they lost their way and had to endure a nervy end to the game. An older guy in front of me won the half tim...

And I merely pointed out that ignoring an offence on the pretence of ‘playing advantage’ isn’t a genuine option… Isn't that what playing advantage is? You let an offence go as the team who were "offended" against keep the ball in a similar or better position..... My god this is tedious......

I wonder if it wasn't given because the ref deemed that May had fouled Mbengue when he leant on him making him miskick the ball. Therefore he played advantage because the ball went back to Pereira. I don't remember seeing what the ref signalled when the incident happened. The whole problem is the r...

Off to see Gloucester City take on Plymouth Parkway tonight at the TigerTurf Stadium.....

I think Crusader had a few two many bevvies at lunch today. I merely suggested that the ref might have seen a foul on Mbengue and let it go as the ball went back to Pereira. If that is the case, and I am only suggesting it was, then whether Mbengue intentionally passed it back is irrelevant. It's ha...

That’s not logical. If Mbengue was fouled you give the foul, you don’t confuse things by appearing to not punish another offence and giving a significantly less advantageous position to the defence. He could have decided there was no intention to play the ball to the keeper and therefore there was ...
