NewCorkSeth P!ssed Off Tbh I came away from the match thinking that HRK helped out well in defence.
So what if not every single tackle and interception was successful?
Probably the same moaners who are always annoyed that Guthrie's long ball accuracy is not 100%.
I don't get where all this HRK hate is coming from? Hes been good so far.
We need a scapegoat every game - that's the rule.
Anyway, marks/10
Birmingham 3 very slow in defence
The crowd 4 quite low
Referee 6 competent but stopped the game quite bizarrely when we were through and didn't book enough player
Reading's passing 8 getting better every game
MacCarthy 7 needs to work on his distribution, but he'll save long shots all day long
Gunter 9 best game for us
Bridge/Pearce/Morrison 8 we are benefitting from a stable defence
Baird 7 ok
Guthrie 9 not as influential as in recent games, but two goals were much needed
McCleary 8 really tricky and constantly a threat
Robson-Kanu 7 played well
Pogrebnyak 10 obviously
Alf ?
Alf had a good game and ran tirelessly into good positions where he could receive passes, and he must have been close to being onside lots yesterday. I don't quite see him linking play together in our new team of fluent passing. It probably is best if he is used as an impact sub and Pog or Pog and Sharp start the games.
