MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a)

[skipper]

That's another very good save from Trott. I make that 4 plus a goalline clearance from Fish. And a woodwork.

We've been so good, on top, and its just two silly sucker punches and a host of chances we can't put away.

We could have had 6 today.

Shut up you jew hating oxf*rd

Absolutely no one even acknowledging this outrageous hateful post?

Literally read it and came to question if it were an in joke. I guess not...

[skipper]

Told you!

Truro city,,? I can't wait for Reading to turn from the most successful town to the biggest antisemitic shithole

Jimmy what's rattled your cage? I'm just trying to figure out if you need blocking and banning.

[Snowflake Royal]

Not if we concede 2 soft goals every week.

Create this many chances every week and we'll win at least 3-2.

But we created chances today and missed them. We weren't under constant pressure but still conceded twice. A team playing well and finding ways to lose is still a relegation candidate. The next 2 are at home against weaker opponents, so if we can keep up the performance from today we can win them, hopefully get a bit of confidence and find the composure to go with it. But if we can't time is up for Hunt.

Plus, it's not like we've been playing well. Today probably the best performance of the season. Wouldn't be surprised if we look nervous and lacklustre on Tuesday.

We didn't miss them, we came up against a keeper in great form, there's a difference

Are you educationally subnormal?

He's a Christofacist. So yes, yes he is.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Get Lane out of the team, for everyone's good including his.

Don’t just get him out the team, terminate his contract for match fixing. THREE sitters missed - is this guy really that shit, or is he missing them deliberately?

Absolute toilet player.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Wait, wtf did I just walk into? Who is this Royal Jimmy cvnt and why is he using hobnob as a cry for help?

Bar missing the goals (good save, not ideal for a left footer, and great block), I thought Lane was, similar to most of the team, quite a lot better against Cardiff than in recent games.

If I was to compile a list of players who aren't good enough to start based on Cardiff, it would be Doyle, Stevens and Burns in the top 3.

Burns having been poor most of the season. He's just so bloody awkward and slow. CB order of preference for me is Williams, O'Connor, Dorsett, Yiadom, Burns, Stickland.

I'd be interested to see Kyerewaa, Ehibhatiomhan or even Ritchie start in the 10 over Doyle at the moment. Him and Elliott have been disappointing amidst the little flashes of technical ability they've shown.

Because we're his fwends.

I really couldn't give a oxf*rd about his politics but everything is described as either tinpot or a shithole. It's just so childish and moronic.

He's graduating from tinpot to more unpleasant shit but clearly hasn't experienced much in life outside the bubble of being a football supporter as every post he makes is couched in the vocabulary of football tribalism.

I assumed he was about 13 years old but apparently he's a fully grown adult. He really needs to grow up.

Mate, my nan could have scored that and she plays in League 2.

Doyle is just such a nothing footballer. Stick Wing in the hole, and stick Savage and Elliott behind him.

If you were talking about the o e in the last game, I could have scored that.

The first one against Cardiff, keeper is spread well, there's a route round him to the right post for the right footer that isn't really on for the left footer, and going the other side of the keeper is harder from where he is. Should have done better, but its not glaring like the other week.

I'd say the second v Cardiff was worse, but you've just got to give props to Fish for the block. As you would to Dorsett for his first half stop, rather than criticising their player for not scoring.

[jonnyroyal1871]

We should have won this about 7-0.

Play like this regularly and we'll walk up the league.

Are you on weed? STFU you despicable thick man

What? I'm must have misread Jimmy. Were you talking to a dog?

Well, thank oxf*rd he missed an even easier sitter the other week to make missing this one look acceptable by comparison!

Honestly, never mind dropping the bastard, I’d be calling the police to have him arrested on suspicion of match fixing.

[Hound]

Lane should obvs have scored those two but outside of that I thought he looked pretty good

Have to remember he did also win us 2 points with a great goal not so long ago

Just think he’s lacking a bit of confidence and a defined role. I think he’s more a genuine winger but then we don’t really play that way. Someone to get wide and put good crosses in etc

[Mr Angry]

Obviously we are going to have to start converting those chances in order to win games, but as most people before the game were expecting an easy Cardiff win (which this wasn't) maybe they should try to park their confirmation bias for 5 minutes and acknowledge that the team is getting better, they are creating more chances and it would be genuinely surprising t we didn't finish up mid-table.

On a sample of one game. Cardiff may just have had an off day

We were rubbish against Exeter and Mansfield in the two games before

Need to a run of genuinely good performances before I believe we’re in a false position

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this. I am sick of seeing his name on the team sheet knowing if he gets a chance, he's just going to miss.

I know people will say you need to give him some credit for getting there and being in those positions, but, for me, he gives the ball away too much as well as missing the sitters. So for that reason, I'm out. Start anyone in his place.

However, I quite like Doyle, maybe I am missing something. I'll pay more attention to him in the next game.

No worries Brogue, I figured I hadn't seen you post in a while so you probably had something better to do.

A few deletions doesn't really feel enough, but I know it's all you can do.

Cheers.

Doyle looks tidy, and the sort of player who should be good. But whathe actually done?

He's comfortable on both feet, but he can't shoot, he can't break with pace, he doesn’t really ever beat his man...

He's a very modern footballer. Technically skillful. Tidy simple passes. Achieves nothing. And I would say at fault for the first goal. If Savage waa in his place, he'd have bust a gut, tracked the guy through the middle, closing him down and making life hard, rather than trotting back gently in his wake.
