Cairney's a funny player. He never really did it here although he obviously had all the ability. Some games he looked a world beater, other games you wouldn't know he was playing. I had hopes for him in centre midfield but games seemed to pass him by there. Of course you've got to take account of the fact we've only just appointed what I consider a proper manager. Who knows what he might have achieved under a Hughes or Souness type manager.

Very strange situation now at Reading and Fulham. Reports suggest that Clarke spoke to Fulham about the job and was keen on it, but that talks broke down over his salary/compensation. Now it appears the move is off and he is back at Reading preparing them for tomorrow's game against Bolton.

Clarke has been open in his press conference today admitting that he wanted to speak to Fulham and see what they could offer, but after speaking to them decided that Reading were a better option. However, because he was prepared to discuss a move away a lot of Reading supporters are in uproar about his lack of loyalty.

I don't really see how there can be a way back for him at Reading. No amount of smooth talking will make the supporters forget that he was interested in moving to a Championship rival. Its a bizarre situation because Reading know he was interested in the Fulham job, yet if they sack him he will be able to walk into Fulham and Reading will be heavily out of pocket.

I wonder if Fulham will consider turning to their former assistant manager Steve Kean as they run out of options.

I have absolutely nothing against Fulham but imagine his return to Ewood!!

If they start getting turned down by the likes of Orville the duck, then maybe Kean would be in with a shout.

Steve Kean with Danny Murphy as his assistant. Whilst I wouldn't wish that on anyone, it would be interesting to experience the reception they got at Ewood.

..with Best up front and Orr at right back. Would probably need to be played behind closed doors !

QPR doing well at mboro at the moment 0-0 with 10 to go but they've had a lot of shots on target for an away side tonight. Reckon Warnock will stay in charge there and they'll be a challenger for the play offs.

QPR Warnock-less tonight...

I think Steve Clarke's days at Reading are numbered. The foreign Owners will not be happy and will be feeling offended. He better put a good run of results together very very soon. A loss today at home to Bolton could well see him gone.

Lennon represents their last bit of credibility. A shame to see them in the shape they are. Looking like they need a miracle. There but for the grace of God...

Coventry top of League 1 after smashing 2nd placed Gillingham 4-1. We might have a game on astroturf next season.

No we won't, we will be playing man u, Chelsea and Liverpool next season

I think today should lower expectations of those thinking like that. Lambert clearly has work to do if we are to challenge at the top in the future.

We got the win today and that is all that matters.

Lambert now has a full week to work on the players before the Wednesday game and if he can grind out wins with the squad he has got, then that is all we can ask for. PNE was a tough first game considering the run they had been on recently.

The other results were interesting and thank goodness we did get the win- a defeat and we would just be 2 points above relegation tonight. The Brum unexpected home defeat brings us within 8 points of the play-offs....

Reading the Fulham forum, its incredible the similarities between ourselves and them, they have no faith in their owner, want a proper manager after and experiment and believe they need to be back in the premier league, they aren't happy with losing out on Lambert or some of the name they have been linked with like the Walsall manager.
