There must surely be NO positives to take from a result like this, no matter how hard you look .. and Premiership football next season ?
.. God help us !!

Surely this must be the final 'nail in the coffin' for this possession based football .. utter shite ! .. one would hope the players do a 'Bristol City' and reimburse all those who made the journey too ..

I liked the look of him but the guy was simply never given a chance, particularly with Brian continually sticking with his woefully
inadequates !

Should have cashed in on Gunter when we had the chance IMHO ..

Play like that, with players out of position, and the only thing we'll get from the next two games is a hammering !

With the likes of Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle coming up, and with quite possibly a minimal points return from those three games, this should have been a nailed on 3 points .. makes the Brentford game all the more important now ..

Anyone remember Reading 6 Barnsley 2 way back in something like 70/71 when Les Chappell scored a hatrick .. a similar score tomorrow would be nice !

Gunter defo at fault for the first .. what's happened to Watson ? .. would rather see him in the team tbh ..

Have to say I regard Mendes and Weiser as "wasted" signings but I do feel a bit sorry for Gravenberch .. he's never been given a chance to show what he can do, very much like Fernandez last season ..

Maybe he's joining Brighton instead, that would be about right ! lol

At last Stam see's the light !!

“We had a lot of possession, but it’s not about possession, it’s about scoring goals"

You don't say !! .. not saying we're in a false position but we ARE a million miles from where we need to be !!

15 mill .. football has seriously lost it !

It's Thursday night, it's on tv, the weather's crap and it's a game in hand .. all the making's of a dissappointing result to me ..

Ponce is a complete waste of time and resources .. we already have 2 players ( Mendes and Rakels ) who were unknown before we got them and neither of them have pulled up trees, not to mention the fact we have our own youth players anyway .. rather we have a look at the lower leagues tbh ..

Would like to see Meite given a full 90 against Blackburn .. afterall, we've tried everyone else !

Was never given a chance .. would have proved far more useful than Piazon was ..

I'd rather our home grown players, like Tanner, be given a chance first tbh .. he's certainly made an impact at Plymouth and is playing at the same level as Bogle ..

So 71% possession and the opposition still has more attempts on goal .. according to the BBC anyway .. I just don't get where this is leading, with or without another striker ..

Some of the posters on here need to take a serious history lesson in Reading Football Club, pre SJM .. personnally I don't begrudge the guy a damn thing .. as far as I'm concerned he saved the football club without doubt !

Just watched the vid .. he'll do !
