paultheroyal People who say “not this year, we will crash and burn, let’s do it next year etc” are utter cnuts.

Indeed

Short term: Miazga and Morrison. Pace, passing, experience, shit housery, height, strength... Longer term: Miazga and McIntyre Exactly this Miazga has looked head and shoulders above the rest since we first saw him. And I would have played him as soon as he was fit despite some poor results when pl...

Old Man Andrews This second half display is up there with our best of the season. Really confident and assured, looked like a top 2 side.

Are you there?

If not how are you watching?

I'm there. Obviously.

Not obvious to me but thanks

FL confirm no pre match handshakes until further notice https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/18286971.coronovirus-fears-leads-cancellation-pre-match-handshakes/ Presumably that also means the prematch line up will also bite the dust. Be just like the days of proper football when teams just used...

The comment about the modern player not being two footed is very true.When I first started watching football,all the top footballers use to comment about working on their weaker foot.I seem to recall that our 2005 side only had one player who was genuinely two footed,and that was Doyle.Even at the ...

karbota But dont like the look of that Nigerian lad, looked lost and far too clumsy, not one to keep.

I'll see your and raise you a

Also thought for the most part Friend was consistent and pretty good. Let a bit more than I'd like go, but seemed to be reasonably balanced, maybe a bit more against us, but we were being out muscled a lot more than anything. Yeah, probably should have blown for a foul before their first. Bowen was...

URZZZZ Good subs if not a little late

Think Bowen realised quite a while ago this was going to ET so save he legs... everyone was doing fairly well.

Yep good call I think
We had good momentum

URZZZZ Looking leggy, would get Timbe/McCleary on for Olise/Ejaria

Ejaria maybe
I'd leave Olise on for now

We've probably deserved that. Been much better and restricted them to one long routine effort other than the gifted goal. Lacking the final ball a little, but think we're playing fairly well. Yep If you'd never seen Reading before you would wonder why Rinomhota hadn't been playing every game. Been ...

WestYorksRoyal This is easy for them

Good work there WYR!

They're gonna beat us 5-1 now.

Yeh not sure it works like that!!

Looked a soft pen from where I am
But who cares?!

sandman He'll miss.

Or not

Nope

Good work there WYR!

Their 32 Berge is decent and a handful. We can't get the ball off him

And the lino flags for the softest of fouls as if to make the pont

Snowflake Royal Oh dear Jordan, too busy trying to get Olise or Ejaria to track back to mark the danger man

Thought Rino was caught in build up but Friend well placed..

Another day another ref we'd get that. Looked a foul to me

Ovie does seem to have developed an annoying habit of coming out of every 50/50 without the ball - one of the things at his best he does very well at Tackling is definitely not his strength but he tracked back really well today. Can't agree with that. I think Ejaria is an exceptional ball-winner Di...

Pele.Usually our best player.Bad day at the office last night though. Mainly because he shouldn't be played in a midfield 4. He's been our best player when sitting just in front of defence. What the thinking is here God only knows Pele was sitting just in front of the defence :| In the first half w...
