  On the way out and home now it all started so well. Quite impressed with us in the 1st half. I am apoplectic at the 2nd half meltdown. I am absolutely baffled as to what Clement does at half-time. Every game we capitulate. Walker.... I mean come on. I do like him as a Keeper but that was shoddy. We just fell apart. Yes West Brom will finish top 6 but we need to buck our ideas up. McNulty is not a championship level player. We missed Bod and Baldock. At least we have a half decent L1 squad for next season I suppose. I really cannot see us staying in this league. Sigh.

  Decent first half, followed by an atrocious second half. Clement's signings so far this year have been questionable, what is the point of Walker and Mcnulty taking away game time from the youth when they contribute nothing. Walker isn't good enough and Mcnulty is a league two player. Why not give Southwood and Loader a chance Ratings: Walker 3 - shaky on crosses again, first goal completely misjudges the ball Gunter 6 - didn't do too much, good ball for Swift in the second half, however you never really feel he adds anything in attack which you need from a WB Ilori 3 - liability, I think fans overrate him because of the demise of…

  Good post. Absolutely fully agreed on Southwood and Loader. They may be young but so what they cannot be worse than what we already have. Why on earth did we give Jaakkola another year? McNulty doesn’t look up to it and why was Meite kept at the club and Novakovich loaned out again?

  Well, back from IFollow. First - why, why on earth, are we even thinking about giving a contract to Meite? Christ, he's not even a footballer player. Yes, he runs around a bit and you can't question his application, but he's not a footballer, is he? So we give him a *four* year deal now.... something smells there. First half - decent. Lots of chance, could have easily been 3-1 up. Saeed, Bacuna, Swift ran the show. Decent effort from McNulty. Second half - who knows. We just melted away. Oh well, I'll be back for 'Wall.... that'll be nice.

  Thought McNulty was wasted in first half. He made decent runs just wasnt passed to. To many slow (and many) sideway passes when in good positions. Sometimes i wish we just stay out on the pitch at HT and just wait. Sick of 2nd half performances.

  Another second half from hell. Players are not good enough as a team to stay up. The goalkeeping position has been in decline since Federici left There are 4 defenders there worth keeping and one is 37 years old Gunter is far too inconsistent Kelly has become a headless chicken under successive managers. Meite gives his all but has zero end product But at least that’s better than Aluko. And so on. The transfer policy is pathetic, generally signing unnecessary players or signing players from clubs in permanent lose mode and whoever is brought in does not improve the side or results. Reading’s next 2 games are Millwall at home and…

  Probably the best post I have seen on here. Agree with everything.
