Can’t help but feel our owners must be feeling short changed. All the money pumped in and we are still really struggling.

Will take the point

Odd performance. We looked quite good up front on limited service, but the midfield was utterly non existent (despite Adam playing well)

Miss Swift so much. Rino was appalling, Ejaria at his worst - kept losing it.

Defence was a bit shit as well. Vile performance from Morrison. Moore and Miazga sloppy as well. Nice to see Rafael pull off some good saves though - bit of faith restored there

Could easily have lost it at the end - as it is no major harm done

Charlie Adam - WHY THE FYCK DOES EVERY BALL HAVE TO BE A HOLLYWOOD CROSS FIELD PASS FFS!! It's predictable which makes it useless. Also no communication - numerous times jumped for a ball with another Reading player. All that said - probably our best player.

Ejara - trying too much, everytime.

Baldock - much missed. Chasing everything down - has to start

Moore - telling the players to calm down 4 minutes into injury time drawing to bottom of the league. No Liam - bust a bollock and get in their box. That is not an acceptable result and performance. He is pretty much the only constant in this underperforming team - is he the problem?

Lower West
Old Man Andrews Charlie Adam was our best player. :|


Puts into perspective the current state of the squad.


He was excellent tbf. His long passing is incredible. Strangely his corners were a bit shit

Agree with that generally but Puscas was decent enough I thought. Zero service but held the ball up and looked dangerous

No - highlighted by the fact Baldock looked a million times better.

Rafaels kicking was atrocious but that may have been the midfields fault as no one seemed particularly interested in winning the ball.

Agreed, very harsh on Puscas. he was better than 4. Rino needs a rest, Pele Saturday please.

I didn't manage to watch the first 20 minutes but he was poor from what I saw. As JM said, as soon as Baldock came on, he found pockets of space well, and retained the ball. Puscas is incapable of doing that

I haven’t seen tonight’s game but beginning to think we need to drop Morrison. Should we continue playing three centre backs? It limits what we can do elsewhere on the pitch.
Rinomhota appears to have been poor again. Time for change.

Played badly, rescued a point.

Obviously disappointing, but it's an improvement on Gomes still.

Well you probably know I’m a big Baldock fan as well (at least in this set up)

No doubts he’ll start on Saturday. We look a lot better with him up there

3 at the back really isn’t working. Haven’t scored with it for weeks have we?

But more worrying there were huge gaps appearing at the back
