    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    I dont see it as black and white as some people. If Lincoln implode and we stumble into the playoffs looking as clueless as we have at times because the other teams around us are equally as useless, then get buried by Bolton again, is that reason for him to carry on next season? Or we could win...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    I'm not sure anyone thought we would carry on as we were and challenge for automatic promotion but im not sure anyone thought we would immediately switch to relegation form either. The point of my post was to give a bit of perspective to people comparing Des to Appleton as some sort of...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    Their records after 22 games may have been similar but the situation they inherited couldnt have been more different. Appleton inherited half a squad that was conference bound, Des inherited a squad second in the league. Ive never met Des or Mapps but they both seem to be very decent human...

    It took him a lot longer to pull them back up as well!

    League One Reading FC

    f**k Reading and f**k their "fans". They all moaned about auto trader John for not getting his money out. They laughed at every other struggling club when it gave them their kicks and jumped on the gravy train to the premier league. Now its predictably all gone to s**t they are the victims...

    Ex-Staff Liam Manning

    Manning has already been sacked by a league 1 club, if results had followed the same course under him as they have under Des he would be under pressure here. I dont blame him for leaving, I think 99% of people would do the same, it was the way he did it that was s**t.

    Des wont be going anywhere until at least the end of the season, the chuckle brothers wont phone the owners and tell them they made a bad choice unless they absolutely have to.. I would imagine whether Des is here next season will depend on how he does the rest of this season. I do wonder if he...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    Appleton came in very late, inherited a squad that was conference bound and scrambled in a load of loanees to make up the numbers. Des inherited a team 2nd in the league and strengthened in January including a £400k signing. As others have said Appleton adapted and at no stage did we look as...

    So would I, it would be a remarkable achievement given the s**t Manning inherited.

    Robinson inherited a squad that included two players now in the premier league and 5 or 6 now in the championship. These were players from the Appleton/Ashton/Eales era that were young, hungry well coached and improving. He left us with a hospital ward of over paid, under performing, never fit...

    If Robinson had been in the dug out today we wouldnt have been playing Reading, we would have been playing in league 2.

    If you had switched to 24 hours in A&E you would have seen some of his signings

    Rettendon murders? Not an expert but the evidence against them looks a bit flaky to me.

    Big 5 days coming up, win tonight and Saturday plus a couple of decent signings before transfer deadline and the mood will be a lot better. If we get turned over twice and what we have is what there is.......
