Late team change. Roberts in for Yiadom on the bench.

Do they practice actually retaining the ball and passing to each other.

Reading 3 shots, 0 on target. 5 touches in the Donny box.

Doncaster 1 shot, 1 on target and 8 touches in the Reading box.

Reading player spotted jogging in the 33rd minute. It was Pereira :shock:

Terrific stuff by the sounds of it :roll:

Closest to a Reading chance was a Donny player chesting the ball down in his penalty area.

HT 0-0

Absolutely dreadful half of aimless football. Too many of this side are not up to it, OConnor, Savage, WiFi, Dorset all hopeless. I can’t even work out what our plan, is, we knock it around the back and then Pereirra just hoofs it. What’s the point?

Odd take on a goal bound Savage shot that had the keeper beat being blocked by a chest/arm.

Pretty rubbish stuff, but a couple of moments where we nearly got in. Not enough movement, usual timidity from defence in possession followed by inaccurate hoof.

Young's fallen over his own feet a couple of times but also run his many quite well to win a fk once. Kyerewaa showing some nice feet.

We look instantly more organised in defende with Williams back.

He's got a fierce shot with limited backlift too, just needs to work on accuracy and when to pull the trigger vs passing.
You're joking right?

Don’t mind that... bit more intelligence on the pitch, not sure pace is the key here as we have more of the ball. Young not had a lot of impact.

Assuming it's for Young. I guess could also sacrifice a fullback maybe... but risky. Kyerewaa would be a very odd choice unless he's picked up a knock
