true Vision re: Oliveira. He couldn't keep hold of the ball, and it was his slip that led to the Rotherham goal, when he had a great opportunity to play in McCleary down the wing Will give a bit of credit to Rotherham here as well. Their number 5, Semi Ajayi, had a very good game for them. Very aggr...
OUr fixtures look far from easy. I remembered it being a lot easier than it is - we seem to be playing all the form teams - Preston, Bristol, Brentford, plus Norwich away, West Brom at home (who have a great away record), Boro away. I think we need to get a 6 point gap in our next 4 games tbh. Ipswi...
Thats a huge game for Rotherham. After that they have Sheff Utd away, QPR away, Norwich home, Derby away. They'll see the game against us a big missed opportunity as well. Big pressure on them to get the 3 points against Blackburn Mind you, checking our fixtures, they look a lot harder than I rememb...
I don’t think saying PC did a poor job but still shouldn’t have been sacked when he was are contradictory I won’t look back on his time with any fondness but I did feel he was starting to get to grips with the task and a system which was getting some sort of results. It wasn’t panic stations when he...
I’ve certainly not seen anything to make me change my mind that PC shouldn’t have been sacked when he was. But it’s long gone now Yep. Gomes at least hasn't made a lot of mistakes, but the few he has have been clangers and he needs to do better. Do you see his style working in League One with playe...
Get the point but they had only 6 corners all game. It’s hard to completely stop throw ins when they have someone who can launch it in from distance. It was hardly a barrage of balls going into the box, and all but one were comfortably dealt with Fully agree we should have taken the game to them at ...
I'm not saying hoof it, and that certainly isn't going to work if you don't set up for it, but passing out doesn't work either because we're so slow and shit at it. Give me a hoof upfield coming back over a turnover in our own half any day of the week. I've seen us concede plenty of chances from st...
Nah. We let a Rotherham dominate us for 75% of the match. At home. Absolutely disgraceful performance with no character or spine. They had 2 shots on target. 2 reasonable chances other than the goal at a push. How is that dominating? First half they could have had 2 and all second half we barely to...
How much did that side we put out cost today? Pretty much fcuk all. 5 loans, Swift, Yiadom, Meite frees, Blackett and Moore 1m and Garath’s been here for 6 years
We’ve wasted money on players but they’ve all been shipped out
There seems to be a level of arrogance amongst some Reading fans. Shown by a few post match comments and the pockets of booing at full-time. We are 21st for a reason, we can't really expect to win any match really. A draw today isn't horrible but is highly disappointing considering how close we wer...
We’re only down if there aren’t 3 worse teams Ipswich are surely done for, Bolton are rancid and all sorts of off field problems, and Rotherham are a poor side who have won 2 in 27 and none away for is it 43 games in the champ? Yep, we could end up worse than them, but I’m certainly not writing us o...
So weird... I saw it quite differently. I saw a side up for a fight, snapping at heels trying to win back the ball. I saw Olivera, when he made a mistake, chasing back and clearing up in the centre of defence. I saw Mo Barrow pelting it from one wing to the other trying to chase down a lost cause a...
The usual knee jerk nonsense in here I see. It's not though is it? People are saying the same things they've said all season about games against the teams around us and our inability topit the game away. These players continually fail to learn week after week and produce the same mistakes over and ...
Not sure what else he could have done tbf On the rare times he got the ball he created and did well. It shows how low McCleary's normal level is it that was considered to be excellent. He was average. That's not a dig at him either as "average" was a pretty high grade today. Nobody better...
Don’t disagree with a lot of that There is clearly a lack of confidence and we should have comfortably killed the game off at 1-0 but sat back instead. And then missed a hatful of chances at 1-1 Not really buying the cliched ‘spirited long ball Rotherham’ stuff. Didn’t think they threatened much at ...
