BFTG - Preston

[Nameless]

I've not been able to go to matches for a while so haven't seen Reading play for a while but just curious if everyone agrees that Aluko is a waste of space or are there those who disagree but keep quiet on here? I just find it strange that everyone is so negative about him yet the manager obviously seems to see something in him to pick him every week ...

He was clearly a good player at Fulham

Not good enough to be considered premiership quality though. We are seeing his shortcomings .

Not sure of your point.
We’re not Premiership quality. Aluko was a very good player in a team considered by many the best ever to have played in this division. He SHOULD be a key player in our team. The question is why he isn’t.

Considered by many who? Fulham fans? Morons? People who just started watching football that year?

Not sure why that is an issue. We bought Aluko after we lost the PO Final. Fulham were in the Championship the following season and did not want to lose him after he had had a very good season.

We were expected to be getting one of the more exciting Champ attacking players but clearly hasn't worked out. So hardly surprising he is not in the PL.

[Hound]

For whatever reason, he suited Fulham's side a lot better than ours. It might have been because they had better fullbacks, or moved the ball a bit quicker

What I can't accept from him is the lack of effort or awareness. The losing the ball, and then just standing there watching. Which is why I'd happily never see him play for us again

[Coppells Lost Coat]

The Aluko debate can F-off for another 48hrs as im still savoring this win.

[LUX]

+1

fed up with all the negativity, after a good win.

Well played lads, keep it up v Norwich please.

Sorry but that is just not true! They are the second best team to have played in this division after Wolves.

Gunter bashing is just tiresome.

That is all.

Have you tried using your other hand?

Yeah lets just ignore his completely inept displays, let him get away with it. Bless little Chrissy.

[Snowball]

When Aluko joined he said he liked to take risks in games, do the unexpected

I think Stam made him too cautious and he lost his mojo

It's not bashing. He was shite. Players should be called out when they're shite. Especially when we have a RB performing at a much higher standard forked out on the left to accommodate him.
He was by far the worst player on the pitch on Saturday and unsurprisingly everyone noticed.

Is this some kind of joke I don't get? Like when we called Brighton the Barcelona of the south? Or do people genuinely think they were that good..

[sandman]

Of course they were "that good",
Don Goodman said so.

No, the Fulham team that got promoted was the best team I have EVER seen.

And their fans are the BEST fans EVER.

Not smug, entitled middle class twats.

No.

Did you know Ryan Sessegnon was only 17 years old last season?

He has played as if he is 12 years old this season! He is the footballing version of Benjamin Button.

So out of his depth.

Agreed. He needs to go and learn the game. I suggest a stint at Plymouth until January.
