Better than Saturday!

I think it's more that reading are worse than Watford

In a funny sort of way, I'm looking forward to it. We have had a lot of mediocrity lately. It's been very dull. Suddenly, we're in crisis (or so some would have you believe) and a man's job is on the line (allegedly).

At least it's injected a certain edge to proceedings.

Hard to disagree with that

A completed pass would be nice.

[TomThumb84]

If we do not find a way to do this without calming down a bit, we will do well to end with 11 out there.

Have we given up actually trying to play some football?

Think we did that quite some time ago!

[cityexile]

How are we just so bad at any dead ball situation? Not bad, just simply awful.

WHOOSH

Watching city tonight reminds me of a league 2 side. Plenty of hustle but absolutely no quality. Probably unfair on a league 2 side 

[Sweeneys Penalties]

hate to mention it, but.....it's not so long ago that Derby were bottom and we were looking at top spot. Now.....they're 6 points behind with a game in hand. If we lose this, it'll be down to a 5 point gap

Yes - back in November.

Lansbury is terrible.

Thanks.

Lansbury DM sounds questionable.

Needs must, but the left will be unbalanced a bit.

If Paterson in CM, Reading could have the run of the left and to some extent the right.

[Red white and red]

Why can’t Wells and Diedhiou do something with all this quality service they are getting? They clearly don’t want to be here. 

[old_eastender]

We are offering no threat whatsoever....

[Lew-T]

Really feel like I’m watching a Tony Pulis side here...

He used to be famous. That's where his career is at right now.

I don’t really blame a guy who has barely played for four years for looking  out of place and rusty in the Championship. But I don’t understand why a guy who has barely played for four years is suddenly an automatic starter and undroppable during a losing streak.

Practice makes perfect?.....................Ha Ha!!!

[Midlands Robin]

It feels like I've somehow gone back in time and woken up in 1995.

An empty stadium and lifeless, dull as **** football. 

[Numero Uno]

I can't watch any more of this.......not good for my heart all this excitement.

[Hocca]

The plan tonight is sit back deep behind the ball and smash it towards Fam whenever we win it and hope that one of the hoofs forward ends up with a chance on goal of some sort.

Preety painful viewing as expected 

[petehinton]

This is absolute route one gash isn’t it

Good news, this has 0-0 written all over it

We're not exactly experts at 0-0 this season.

One all season so far. Home to Watford ( the Away game didn't go so well....)

Can you put a legend on this?  

[Ska Junkie]

Better as we were 2 or 3 down by now on Saturday . We’re playing hoof ball rather than football but I think a Reading goal is coming unfortunately.

We do look like a very poor side that are, as Pulis would say, working ard. 

[marcofisher]

Going from Steve Lansdown speaking last night about the millions we are losing, to this evening seeing a recently signed 30-year old Henry Lansbury looking extremely average in midfield, speaks volumes about how the club is currently being run.

[Tin Soldier]

Come on City FFS. This is awful!

Relegation fight soon.

Just about to say the same. I'm finding myself longing for the days when we used to pass it across the back four, and then back across the other way. At least we'd string more than one pass together.

His sides were nowhere need as bad as what we've had to put up with
