That. Was Abysmal.
Forget that we were all over them first half. Forget Barrow's glaring miss. Forget the unbelievably poor ref. Forget the consolation goal. That was a horror show of disorganised, half arsed moronic ineptitude of the highest order.
Mannone - 6 bang average which makes him one of our POTS contenders
Gunter 5 typically insipid
Yiadom 6 ok but always exposed
Moore 7 goes awol, but at least he scored and seems committed
Ilori 6 ok
Meyler 3 utter abomination of a player. Can't run, can't tackle, can't pass, can't shoot, can't mark. You might as well play me, I can't do any of that to a professional level either and I'll not do it for £40k a year.
Bacuna 3 Spent more time marking Moore than any Wednesday player. Midfield is key, you've got to be organised, have vision, pick your pass and follow your man, work with your partner. With him and Meyler we may as well have had no midfield... in fact we frequently did.
Aluko 0 If I ever see him play for Reading FC again it'll be too soon. It's a toss up as to whether I'd rather gauge (sp? ) my eyes out with a spoon. Some technique and pace do not a professional footballer make. Fukwit. Useless fukwit with no positional discipline or idea how to play football.
Barrow 3 He has to be a clone using very inferior technology to Dolly the Sheep. Utterlly woeful today.
Baldock 5 energetic and better than us, but not going to create or score many.
Meite 6 very limited, but big, strong and enthusiastic
Sims 7 quick and direct, ran at people rather than dawdled about doing nothing
Kelly 6 twice the player of any other midfielder at Reading and still mediocre
McNulty 5 well he tried to breakaway a few times but apparently no one knows how to play a good pass. At least he forced a save.
Clement. Good changes. Expected midfield but if he playa it again it should be an instant dismissal. Same with Aluko.
And wtf was that start to the second half? Why does every team to play us always have 5 yards of space on the ball and a player or two spare? Whu does no one get tight or try to challenge for the ball? Seriously, with that attitude from them grow a pair, drop the kunts and play Rinomhota, Frost, East, Holsgrove... at least they have an excuse for being uttertly outclassed.
My knee is jerking like oxf*rd right now, but I'm calling it. This side is down. They're gutless, disorganised and have zero quality.

So. We were shocking. We are shocking. So shocking that it no longer shocks me.
Mannone looks half the keeper he was last season (he wasn't great to begin with)
Gunter has waltzed back into a team in a position where we are arguably strongest right now.
Yiadom was shunted out left and did a job. But he's our best RB by absolute miles.
Moore and Ilori are good players who are made look average by the woeful tactics and piss poor midfield ahead of them.
Meyler can go join Edwards in purgatory. Easily the worst player on the pitch today. Probably the worst player on several pitches today.
Bacuna is fine. Good delivery on the corner for Moore's goal. Keep him on corners and wide free kicks.
Aluko is woeful. Abysmal. He needs to be put with the under 23s for a bit. Humble up and start doing his job. No more corners from him please.
Barrow isn't fit is he? He had little pace on him today. I feel bad for him stuck with this shite.
Meite is just not good enough as a striker. He's fine as a winger. Play him as a winger.
Baldock can't shoot. Amazingly we bought a striker who can't shoot.
Clement is worse than Stam. By far. How many goals is that in the first 5 minutes after half time now? It's seems like a lot. 21 league goals conceded after halftime in his short reign? Pretty clear he can't lead a team to any sort of success. The owners should start advertising the job now and get conversations going with a replacement because we are going to need one soon.

What can be said? Both goals were terrible, they got through our defence like it wasn't there and we conceded after half time again, this time right from kick off.
Then we played a bit better but what's the point when already 2-0 down?
Aluko can oxf*rd off, basically playing with ten men, hell, make that nine with how Meyler played, slowed down the play, misplaced passes the lot.
Strikers I feel for a bit as they're getting no service but was it Baldock that missed the clear shot in the first half?
Clement says it takes ten games to know how the season will go but he'll be lucky to make it that far
