Great start. Can we all agree it's an absolute disgrace if we don't win from here?

Yes but it's not impossible.
This is Reading after all

Nearly conceded straight after

Can someone update my understanding of the rules? I thought last man foul was no longer an automatic red unless the referee deems it a cynical foul? Surely no defender would intentionally deny a chance if it's Meite?

I do like Baldock. Makes good runs and can hold the ball up. Have missed him the last few games

Agree
And he's not afraid to take a whack in the back when he holds it up

Even against 10 men we look so vulnerable at the back

Sounds like we're pretty shit to be honest. Maybe I underestimate how important Miazga is for our defence. Shit without him earlier in the season; shaky now.

S'what you get with Adam in a two man midfield, he's just so immobile. Not to mention Joao, who just stood and watched someone within 5 feet of him burst forward into space around the edge of our box.

If we are, it isn't by a lot.

Yep

I really didn't like the set up and it's a good job we got the early lead

Need Miazga and 5 at the back

You have to make a genuine attempt to win the ball, their defender pushed him.

Frankly terrible game, lucky to be winning against 10 men

I thought this would present an opportunity to pad the goal difference instead it sounds like they are just trying to hold on. The longer things continue like this the higher the probability that shit happens...

Other than the penalty presumably? Chances don't get much better than that short of an open goal.

But yeah, other than that I've seen two good efforts from Derby at least and none from Reading. Even with an awful stream that's now died.
