Being a gambling man I would have laid short odds on the words "nothing" "has" and "changed" appearing in the post Reading piece possibly in the headline and certainly by inference but I was wrong.  Maybe next time or maybe Bruce will change the habits of a lifetime.  Now that is a long shot.

The last sentence is reflective of what I have been wondering and that is once the trade period is over Bruce may be dispensed with. I really hope it isn't wishful thinking.

Yep.

Bruce could never change the habits of a lifetime.

I always think that you are very balanced Dave and when you start calling time on the Manager, it's time to listen.

Great article Dave. You are right, we should have won every game played so far, which makes our position very frustrating.

I'm not saying he should ho just yet, but I do think the time's approaching when he should be on a month's notice.

Agree 100%. I wonder what Sir Brian and Ian Taylor told the new owners about team selection and tactics after the match?

Spot on Dave. You could have added a lopsided squad to the list of familiar things at VP.
