SteveRoyal I noticed Karacan was fantastic in winning back the ball and hassling the opposition - but his distribution is obviosuly of the standard of a worried and panicked midfielder. He wins the ball, and hoofs it.
I'd rather he took his time and distributed it to the wings!

LoyalRoyalFan I must laugh though at the West Brom fans who thought that they were the loudest team ever to come to the Madejski. 4,000 of them and they barely made much noise.

londiniumBasingstoke Royal Another good performance and should have won.
I hate to single any one person out, but Ivar had been consistently poor and was again at fault today for the first goal. Numerous times this year goals have been down to Ivar, the Ipswich one he put on a plate for stead springs to
mind.
He is miss timing headers, standing off of forwards and missing sitters at the other end. If he had taken his chance today it would have been game over. Three chances were also missed last week.
Kishy and Mills are our best centre backs, I just hope Brian had the balls to drop our club captain. If he don't it could cost us.
Altough he had on the whole a stonking game, Grifffin was at fault for the first goal and the second was scored from our right back position . Didn't think Ivar was either good or bad today

Armadillo Roadkill Both Reds correct - Ref didn't get much wrong. Both assistant pretty much spot on too.
Griffin rapidly becoming one of the best Reading players I've seen in my ten years of watching Reading.
Karacan much improved, Howard distinctly effective, Mills superb. Good work from Federici. Kebe had plenty to do for the goal was needs a bit more conviction when taking men on, Rasiack looked good to me.
WBA are a quality side who I'm sure will go up (and then probably come back down again...).
Although we don't need a replay, the momentum is the important thing, and who knows: I would have bet my house against us winning at Anfield and look what happened (good job I don't gamble).
Again, tactically McDermot was spot on, particularly his reaction to going a man down (which I the time I didn't think was the right thing to do).
Overall, a great cup tie, a good performance. Surley too good to go down, although we've left it a bit late to be comfortable.

Wycombe Royal I can't be bothered to comment on every player but I will pick on a few.
Bertrand - yet again he was positionally poor and contributed to us conceding the first goal. He wasn't close enough to Brunt when the ball was played accross and then let him come inside to play the cross in. It isn't the first time he has shown mistakes like that.
Karacan - a lot of effort, broke down play, won back possession, but his passing is woeful. There is no point winning the ball if you are just going to give it straight back to them.
Federici - why didn't he claim that cross for the first goal? Cracking save though from Bednar's long range effort.
Church - excellent 45 minutes, although he tried his best to miss the chance. Strong, pacey, takes up good positions and finally timed a run.
Griffin and Mills were both excellent, Ingimarsson looked like he wanted to be somewhere else.
