Our philosophy is that if you pass it around midfield enough, sooner or later a flair player will create a goal. Yes, and for a lot of the season that’s worked ok Problem is when you get injuries or those players go off the boil then you’ve nowhere much else to turn Is it my imagination or have we ...

I am a firm believer that Puscas movement is decent. But the way we play, the game passes him by. Everyone has been saying that Baldock and Aluko looked far busier and urgent when they come on. How about with out Ejaria and Olise in the team we stopped pissing about with the ball and forced Baldock...

I'm not sure we've played that badly recently tbh. A lot has been in context of what we needed, to an extent a few issues have cost us dropped points, mainly due to a lack of form of the front 4 imo (and we know they are all capable of so much more) We played ok against Cardiff and Luton, not easy g...

Hound , the absolutely pointless passing it around at the back is relevant to the opportunities to make penetrative passes . There is far less opportunities to make those passes because we haven’t played the ball through any of the opposing players . The way to get to the opposing goal is to play t...

Also, Moore on that free kick. Can someone explain that to me? If its a David Luiz blast it type of free kick, Meite has a more powerful shot. Olise takes corners, and on occassion they are good. Ejaria bends fairly good crosses in on his right foot on occassion. What is Moore doing, trying to curl...

The issue absolutely isn't the passing it around in our own half. its the lack of a decisive ball in the opposition half Passing round the back is just one of those cliche bingos that seem to be a fix to all our issues. We actually played it round the back pretty nicely last night, not to excess, an...

There IS a reason why we have to separate out the first eight games. We played a totally different way. Pauno lost his nerve, we became more expansive and showed we DIDN’T have a fantastic defense, so we slipped to being a mid-table team with a couple of stars who scored individual goals to elevate...

..................Southwood .Yiadom, Holmes, Gibson, Richards ............Rinomhota, Swift Meite,......... ...Tetek,................. Onen ......................Puscas Yeah why not. I'm starting to think just keep Swift for next season tbh, like Bowen did with Joao last year. If he fcuks his hamstr...

Yeah I’m sure they’re were but I’ve completely forgotten them. Don’t enjoy watching them on tv playing in an empty stadium. Seems meaningless. This whole season has been that way. If the euros are played like that then I’ll be as interested. Yeah same here to an extent. I’d rather be at the game an...

Even with us likely ending 7th, its overall probably a 7 out of 10 season. With a horrible list of injuries at times (the more I watch us, the more I think Swift is far and away our best player), no time preseason for signings, no money in Jan. Objectively looking at the season as a whole its been a...

That was dogshit and I haven’t enjoyed watching a single Reading game all season.

Hmm really?

Been quite a few good ones

Season done. Form off a cliff. If Brentford beat Bournemouth and Barnsley beat Rotherham we'll be 8 pts shy. Start planning for next year now. We seriously need a win or two in these last 3 else the momentum is shocking for next year. Didn’t make much difference at the start of this season the loss...

Wasn’t a bad game second half - our final ball not good enough Some of the rest of the display was alright tbh. Laurent and Rino did well, defence solid enough. Luton not a bad side Again thought the subs made us look better. Should have thrown Swift, Aluko and Baldock on at 60 mins - Olise, Ejaria ...

Hound Been very impressed again with Holmes tonight - becoming an excellent CB

+1

His senior partner and captain should be ashamed. Pitiful displays.

Yep - he has tried to make things happen coming forward as well. Starting to like him a lot

3-0 Bournemouth

Rotherham really are a bunch of bottlers. What a shocking couple of weeks for them

Derby are a complete mess certainly. Thought Rooney had steadied the ship but they’ve crumbled recently

windermereROYAL I reckon Bournemouth have a free ride in the play-offs if we don`t make it.

May well do. Swansea losing now.

Brentford have gone a bit shit haven’t they?

Fixed it for you. #DumpedOutOfBothEFLandFACupByTheHatters I can't see Pauno choosing to lose this one by fielding a deliberately arse side Agreed. I can only see a win. Though they've been in form recently, haven't they? This really is "lose and we're done for." if we draw and Barnsley lo...
