westonred Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Some of the comments are probably heat of the moment and none of us like losing but lets not forget we have our entire Defence and Midfield out injured and we are papering over the cracks at the moment to still be forth is incredible.

97Red Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 I can't believe some of the people on here. You would think we were 10 points adrift, routed to the bottom of the table. Yes we were poor today, but it's quite clear the fixtures have caught up with us. Reading were the better team today and deserved the 3 points. Taylor Moore has the ability and the potential. He needs time, and his decision making will improve with experience. It's a long old season and we still have key players to come back from injury. Let's not write us off today.

steviestevieneville Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Poor performance all round apart from Bentley . Taylor Moore though just isn’t good enough . Mariappa has to start against QPR and also kalas hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performances aren’t there and while the results have been, there are some warning signs that were over achieving. The problem is the truth is somewhere in the middle. I have no problem with Dean Holden in charge now and ultimately the only thing that counts is your points on the board. But we have been very bland this year (with many mitigating reasons I’m sure) and I’m not convinced you can build a successful season around that.

Let's make sure we beat them back at the gate when hopefully more of our players are back! No, you can’t win them all, but selecting the same starting XI as one that started around 64 hours earlier doesn’t do us any favours either.

BUTOR Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Shit day at the office, but we were battling. ‘No effort’ calls are bollocks. We will lose some of these tough away days but we need to judge the staff and team on how we bounce back which so far has been positive. At least we don’t have Wayne Rooney as manager.

Today has been poor for sure but I think part of the style of football is trying to compete without Sessegnon, Kalas, Mawson, Baker, Bakinson, Williams, Walsh and Weimann. I can't help feeling a more stable defence and a midfield with Walsh, Bakinson and Weimann as options would not be this turgid. I don't really get this piecemeal side argument. We put out a strong squad today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsocks Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Today's performance was not enough.missing kalas not enough effort by everyone.the score could have been more.needs to go back to 4 the back and give us some more attacking flair up front.its the same every season great at start of the season then we fall away.this season will be no different.

cidercity1987 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Sadly for Taylor Moore I think Vyner has definitely overtaken him. I've been rooting for Moore but he will soon go from an error prone young player to just an error prone player, and that isn't good enough despite his obvious strengths and likeable personality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just now, BCFC Grim said: No but there is shame in not being able to pass the ball rather than continously hoofing it forward. Or just a complete lack of intent. Reading are just another average team in this league. Reading are a very good team with some above average players for this division - would love to have Joao, Meite, Ejaria, better than anything we have. We didn't play that well, but they were simply better and some of our players just couldn't cope with their attack and got roasted today. We kept it at 0-0 at half time which was good, but once we tried to take them on and opened up, they cruised to the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running and all that time without the ball can't help at all. I don't think we've always been counter attacking, thinking chunks of 2017/18, the high press. Definitely 2018/19 we were for good chunks, last season undoubtedly. Start of this season we were quite positive I thought, and additionally more possession, better in terms of creation and concession of chances than last season, but we seem to have been slipping back towards a more reactive game plan.

marmite Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 We looked so tired. Honest question. Did we win any 50-50's or second ball? Only tackle of note was from Moore, and that should have been a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
