What? Nothing on Andy Rinomhota

Re: What? Nothing on Andy Rinomhota

Well, if that is the case, let’s hope the coaching team have learned how to set the team up to press because the effort to high press Swansea was quite frankly one of the worst examples of pressing I have ever seen. I was in the new stand and had a great view of positions and it was shocking. It’s one thing saying we want to play a pressing game, or a passing game but you have to have the ability to coach it. Ironically, our 2 months of good results seemd to come when we want back to direct football. Either side of that 2 month period we weren’t great.

Personally I’ve had an absolute **** full of Cardiff City being set up as a team that is more effective without the ball than it is with it so I hope you are wrong. However, I won’t hold my breath waiting for any genuine quality / creativity to be signed. Double pivot is fine if you are playing with a 10 and creative players in front of you but based on last season Morison was reluctant to play a 10 and didn’t seem to know how to get the best out of Colwill.

We shall see.

I think we wanted to play with a 10 but we were far too weak in the middle without the additional man there. Now we have some more mobile players it might release the shackles on someone like Colwill.
I guess we will see for ourselves soon enough though

Any good songs for the lad?

Colwill looks like he could be a natural ten.

Ooh oooh oooh Andy Rinomhota to the sound of “Come on and do the conga”
It doesn’t get any better than that I’m afraid.

If we were that weak in the middle why have we offered Ralls a new contract plus Wintle was regarded to have been a success on his return from Blackpool. He’s also one of the few players we have who are comfortable in the ball.

But, yes, it’s all guesswork at the moment. Maybe Bale will save end up saving Morison like he did Coleman.

At Reading we pronounce the surname as Rino motor and not as some commentators say Rino motta.

Re: What? Nothing on Andy Rinomhota

I think from what we've seen from Morison's sides so far is he wants his fullbacks or wingbacks to push forward and having (at least) a double pivot in central midfield of sitting midfielders . whether it's 4-2-3-1, 3-4-1-2 or 3-5-1-1 etc

How would someone like Peter Whittingham have been utilised in a Steve Morison side?

Beats me.

Maybe a steve morison side would be set up completely differently if we had a player like Whitts

Yes. I have no idea why the question went through my head, but I couldn't see a role for Whitts in the sort of system Morison was employing.

Re: What? Nothing on Andy Rinomhota

What you will get with Rinomhota is an energetic, hard running player good at breaking up play and winning his share of tackles. What you won’t get is a midfielder spraying the ball around the pitch. He knows his limitations and keeps it simple. He was PoTS a couple of years ago.

Personally I would have liked him to stay. You are getting a solid, no frills midfielder who won’t let you down.

Sounds exactly like Ebou Adams

Re: What? Nothing on Andy Rinomhota

Both my son and I are STH’s and we both wanted him to stay. I think he is a good signing for you. The vast majority of Reading fans would have wanted him to stay.

Nice one always nice to hear something like this from the previous clubs fans :thumbup:

Possibly good news on Ralls as well.
