Adam didn't even try to fill in at LB there. Rino had to run twice as far to cover.

Also, why did we start pissing about at the back again?

Sounds like we're second best again.

Yep. Stoke pressing in our third and standing off in numbers in theirs. We're playing ourselves in danger in our half and playing long inaccurate balls into theirs.

We're just not passing through the thirds directly at tempo. Big hole in the centre of the pitch.

Reasonably even, but Stoke more comfortable IMO.

I really dislike Tim and Mick. If I talked as much shite as them on here I would have been banned as a troll.

Sutekh Moore and Obita are apparently also carrying knocks so maybe in danger of missing Stoke.

Be interesting to see if Charlie Adam retains his place against his former team.


Betting on Charlie getting sent off?


Just the yellow card so far.
Sounds a really drab game with us having no shots on target and just the one corner.
The Championship exciting eh URRZZZ?

Adam is woefully off the pace of Championship football as usual, and all his quality just isn't enough to make up for that. Too many hollywood balls to no one.

We've taken a man out of defence and put them in midfield and we still look always outnumbered.

Very much in the game and can certainly win it, but really wouldn't bet against us conceding at any second.

0 shots on target from either side. Yeesh.

At a minimum that would be fair.

Harsh but fair.....
2 points from 9 (as it's looking like) is utterly grim against poor opposition.
When that transfer window opens we need a couple of wide old fashioned wingers...possible loaneses?......I don't think I cant watch the rest of the season as it stands......it's too depressing.

Long for the days of exciting, attacking football played at a decent tempo - anyone have a crystal ball and therefore able to advise how much longer this seemingly endless cr@pfest that is Reading FC on the pitch is going to last?

What might make you think that? Over an hour in, Stoke with 9 shots and Reading with 3, none of the lot on goal...
