Reading are poised to confirm the dismissal of manager Jose Gomes in the next 48 hours.

Gomes will be sacked by the Championship club after fewer than 10 months in charge, with an announcement expected on Wednesday.

The former Rio Ave manager was locked in talks with Reading's board on Monday night and will pay the price for an alarming run of results, with the 1-0 defeat at Bristol City last weekend the club's fifth in the last six games.

Appointed last December, Gomes guided Reading to a 20th-place finish last season, ending the campaign just seven points above the drop zone.
 
Happened last season this....

They parted ways with Stam after a string of poor results and performances....a week or so later played us, miraculously had a resurgence, and beat us.
 
How many we going to take here? Seems like every man and his dog is going the Fitzy fight instead.

Don't blame them.

Reading is an awful away day. No atmosphere, in the middle of nowhere and every single time we go there our fans all sit down for some reason.

Reason = around 50% of our following is usually made up of "southern whites" 🤢
 
Just got the boot!

Wanted them to sack him a week today making them managerless before playing us.

They will probably install a new manager now so he will be incharge by the time we play them!

That's because we are pne. That's part and parcel of being a northend fan... I wouldn't bet against lane ends rangers beating us after they've been on a 64 game losing streak.
 
Just seen the league table, when Gomes took over at Reading, PNE had played 23 games and gained 28pts.
Look at the table now, played 11 and gained 21 pts!
What a difference 10 months makes.
This North End squad are a different animal this season and I expect another victory at Reading!!
 
Was one of my games last season. A miserable afternoon.

This news will make it harder. Not just because they will have renewed vigour but also because one of our great strengths is AN’s research and prep. With a new manager, that strength is nullified.

The new manager will only have the same players to choose from and PNE just need to carry on where they left off at home to Barnsley.
We should have fully fit squad, everyone chomping at the bit and be really fresh!
The 2nd half v Barnsley should have them all in high spirits, so forget about Reading and just carry on the excellent work.

agreed but we all know that it is a fresh start and players will be boyed by the fact that they have got rid of soemone they couldn't work with, didn't want to work with and now have a chance to get their season on track, poor timing for us for sure.
