Shocking again, particular highlights were Hectors sitter miss and John and Williams utter ineptitude. Brighton had a lot of wayward passes but we only looked to capatalise on that once or twice in the game. 299 Reading fans there, poor, but I can't blame anyone for not turning up to see that. At least there's nothing left to play for.
ill actually take a 1-0 to high flying brighton after crashing out of the cup. dull and uninspiring, but didn't really expect much more. john must sort his shooting out, its literally pointless doing all the skills and flicks, and step overs if he then refuses to stick it in the back of the old onion bag. oh well. we move on
A t least some of you made the effort to attend this relatively near by fixture.
Are you sure you're not Kes's dad?
But things are improving. Aren't they?
Holy Cow. :lol:
Very dissapointed with my personal support this season, 1 missed in 2013-14, 1 in 2014-15 and I'll have missed 6 this season :cry:
I thought last night was quite similar to the Leicester v Newcastle game on Monday night; we weren't actually that bad, just failed to take/execute chances. Vydra seemed too hesitant to pull the trigger, eventually when he did the keeper spilled it and you'd want anyone but Mike Hector on the follow up and unfortunately he skied it. On another day that goes in and we could maybe be talking about a hard earned point and how Brighton aren't that special and other threads reading far too deeply into the club's ethic wouldn't be made. GetReading has Williams as MOTM which is probably fair. Ola John looked useful too in stages. Brighton… More →
The consistent failure to take chances is becoming a serious problem though (Charlton aside). John was okay on the ball but he had a serious issue with his final ball and staying on his feet, and Williams first touch was horrible. Brighton weren't that special but they ploughed on and came out with a win against our distinctly average side who haven't shown up since October in the league. And on the support, I got home at about 2am thanks to traffic, crap park and ride buses and road closures. 4 hours to get back from Brighton, cannot blame anyone for avoiding that bollocks. Wish I could go Boro, be an experience with the 50-100… More →
Re Will95 Think it's time for some on here to take their head out of their arses if they think there's nothing to play for. Defeat against Cardiff and a Rotherham win on Saturday would mean just a 5 point gap from the drop zone. With 10 games still to play I suggest there's a shit load to play for! :roll:
Massive LOL @ (apparent) adults who care how many visiting supporters attend a football match :lol: Grow up. The 299 who attended have my utmost respect/sympathy.
As one of the hardy 299 souls who made the trip I didn't think that overall we were as bad as some of the reaction on social media warranted. Yes we are frustrating to watch sometimes and ineffective up front but following on from the Palace disappointment and the fact we have nothing to play for the performance was not totally unexpected against a side challenging for promotion. Defensively I thought we were okay, keeping Brighton from having too many chances, We were caught by a very quick well executed counter attacking move which reminded me a lot of the Reading 2005/6 approach. But going forward with any speed or urgency… More →
