surely the same set of principles have to apply to FSW as they did to RDM? He's been utter pony, get rid - and fast.
We only boo the manager. He has to go. And opposition fans will say how scummy we are for wanting him out. He is hopeless and how can Roman justify keeping him on when he has sacked other managers who have done a lot better! Very frustrating.
I saw the inevitable come to pass after on 90 minutes a striker replaced a striker. At that moment I told the peeps in my match chat that bearsonally I would take off Torres and put on either Ferriera into midfield or JT to mark that extra man Reading were going to have to throw forward. Five minutes extra already losing did anyone think reading would do anything else than push everyone up? Desperate tackles to win the ball will be coming in. Retaining the ball to run the clock down is not an option on it's own. You will be dealing with numbers and passion you will have to match it. Chelsea did not. Even after the ridiculous 90th minute sub Chelsea still did not fight or look or communicate, not a team at all. Turnbull has no place at Chelsea. He is brave, eager, athletic, fast, but his decision making is worse than any other premier league keeper and he is no longer a kid. For both Reading goals he neither stood his ground or claim the ball in the air. 1st goal the defender was cutting the angle already, he wasn't beat, but Turnbull came away from his start position and closed down opening both near and far posts. 2 nd goal half heartedly moved towards the scorer as he headed and never called got close or tried to jump and was also now so far off his line if the defender loses the challenge for the header he has no chance to dive and save. Turnbull does not understand.
This appointment baffled me from the start. Now I'm completely stumped. In what universe could anyone think that this was a good choice of manager. He even said he didn't like us and wouldn't manage us. He cannot take back what's been said. That is why we never wanted him and he has to go NOW.
We are doomed! I hate to say it , but unless we get the Cobham tealady to take over from Rafa, a.s.a.p we're not going to make the cut for CL football next year!
Reading will know they can come back from whatever situation now. A pivotal point, I think they can stay up now
