nyhammer I could not agree more with your post. If G@S can put in the money to keep us going in the Champ we would be better off there. I just don't see us getting the players if we go up to stay in the Prem.
Every struggling side maybe bar Wolves would murder us if we got up.
One more year in the Champ would not be a disaster

The positives of staying in this division are that we dont utterly humiliate ousleves in the premiership next year. Despite looking like finishing third we are woefully short of a team capable of surviving if promoted. Our defense isnt good enough, the midfield isnt creative enough and we simply dont score enough goals. I thought Cole would shine in this division but he's no different if not worse and our new signings have not exactly shone. Of course Id still love to see us get promoted in the hope that we somehow make the astute signings in the summer that will give us half a chance but with this team as it is playing these tactics we'll get murdered.

Basic errors. I'd blame individual players for those.

I don't care how far offside the 4th was , the fact is our keeper should be stopping that.

Yeah luck from 3 fatal West Ham defensive errors, how on earth is that luck?
It's shoddy fucking defending, coached no less than the Downes Syndrome cunt himself who's still here from last year.

Saw the goals on BBC just now
1. Faye let his man run off him and Nolan was brushed aside
2. Unlucky rebound from Tomkins clearance and a weak clearance by Faubert was a pass to Hunt
3. Poor touch by Faye then dived in to retrieve it. Stonewall pen
4. Poor pass by Baldock gave the ball away, Hunt looked 2yds offside when the pass hit him & fell to the scorer
And a fantastic header by Vaz Te. He had a similar leap in the first half that unfortunately was straight at the keeper. Our biggest threat all day.

Players have no idea
Last time we was in this league we finished 5th and 6th
we are finishing 3rd this time.
Need a clear - out, some new players in and Big Sam can properly sort it
How will we go up when our best PREMIER LEAGUE Striker and only score 8 goals or so.... Nothing new we only scores 6 a season..

Shocking defence , no way can we be blaming the officials for that shambles. Their 4th may have been off but how the fuck did Green let it in ?? He was beaten 6 times today and at least 2 he was woeful on .... even the pen he must have died a good 5 mins early !!!

Much as it hurts, they created their own luck. The ref was shite but we folded and imploded.
No one to blame but the team and the manager.

The reason we are staying down is because Allardyce is too stubborn and arrogant to admit when he is wrong and change approach. Today was a shocking indictment of his failings and yet there are still those here who justify his continued presence at the club.

It hurts more as READING were fucking lucky to go in at half 2-1 down after being in total control was so fucking cruel.....no way did we deserve to be drawing, let alone winning - reading had all the luck on the day make no mistake about that - very frustrating.
