Because the reading owner was missing wage payments etc and bills weren't being paid. I agree the situation is a disgrace but the football authorities ain't going to get involved until such a time we cant pay wages or we ain't able to pay our bills

Yeah I thought Hedges played very well in the first half as did Ohashi Travis man of the match for me

We don't know we didn't enquire about Johansson other championship clubs were in for him. His transfer fee similar to Toth but guaranteed he will be on double the money, I'm also pretty sure the new recruitment team weren't even in situ when Stoke signed him . No money leads to poor recruitment. What did Ohashi cost £200k?Gueye £600k...I don't see players at other clubs who cost similar money tearing up the league

Nixon linking us with a January loan for a young Polish midfielder from Arsenal,Michal Rosiak aged 19. We need pace out wide, another striker and a centre back before looking to loan in more kids that Eustace won't trust

If Wednesday comes and the only changes to the starting 11 are Gueye for Ohashi and Weimann for 1 of Dolan or Hedges then I'm gonna be critical of Eustace, he doesn't have the best set of attacking players but he needs to find another way rather than doing the same thing over and over I'd agree with KentExile that maybe 3 at the back with Beck and Brittain at wingback is worth a try and get 2 of Leonard,Ohashi and Gueye up top with Cantwell as the 10 behind, Dolan should not be playing as the 10 for us he is too wasteful with possession. It's hard to portion too much blame to recruitment the budget was less than what we received for Gally Ennis and Whalstedt ffs, so not only did they have a pitiful budget but we also took an age to appoint Park ,Gestede and the other fella. They will have buttons to play with again in January but pace is desperately required so hopefully they can find someone in the bargain bin Don't think we will go down as there are poorer squads in the division and we have a good start on them but it will happen eventually with these owners now they stopped helping pay the bills never mind investing in the squad. They will hang onto us till the bitter end.Depressing

What was Lewis Baker signed for?Seems a waste of a wage to me,has he had any minutes In his actual position? Leonard should have been brought on instead of Gueye. This has been woeful

Durberry is injured It said in the telegraph the week after Swansea game that Eustace had said he was due to start that game only for picking up an injury Hope he gets fit soon the attack needs something else no idea if he be good enough but in his cameo appearances I thought he did OK

I'd have Cantwell central myself but in the interview he did when he joined he said one of the reasons he chose to come here was because after talks with the manager they were both aligned on the position and role to get the best out of him. Someone else mentioned it on here might have been Chaddy but it was after a season from playing from the left that Villa bid big money for him. I'd have him playing as the ten, did he play from the left or central at Rangers?

At least the full backs today will add to our attack, Costello and Beck more quality going forward than Pickering and Carter. Hedges and Dolan have been shit in recent weeks

Where is Durberry ?

Up to Burnley we were playing the ball into him and getting players around him and he looked decent,defenders where struggling to deal with him and he showed excellent awareness Apart from second half v QPR we haven't played to his strengths or Ohashi, it's been a famine for them in terms of chances created or even getting them involved by playing decent balls into them We would have a player if Gueye had ohashis finishing ,if he is to be the starting player at CF then the 3 playing behind will need to be scoring a decent volume of goals ,I don't see him getting double figures but other parts of his game do look excellent for this level but only any use if the rest of the team are at the races and the 3 behind are getting involved in the play.

Looking forward to having Beck back and I hope after this two week break Cantwell is ready to be starting every week,he needs to get a run of games in Crozier Durberry should get his first start too ,we ain't seen end product yet but his quick feet will cause a bit of panic and he looks decent at getting around players Is he away with England underage again,? If so probably means he will be on the bench. They should have loaned Duru out he should have been on the bench today with jrc at rb

I'm a fan of the job Eustace has done so far but he does deserve criticism for today. More players should have lost their place after the midweek game against Coventry, and he shouldn't have had Carter at rb with the tricky players they have wide. Also after the extremely poor first half changes should have been made at ht ,Cantwell on ,Jrc to rb and I would have brought Baker on for Travis at a minimum

I'm a fan of Weimann but he shouldn't be starting 3 games in 7 days. Becoming evident that Eustace doesn't particularly rate Crozier-Durberry if he can't get a Start after the no show by our attacking players midweek.Brighton will be asking for him back at this rate

Yeah but like others said he had previous The Lerma incident was more recent and was in this division
