Reading (H) - Tues 16th Feb 19:45 - Matchday thread

[Swede]

Well that was yet another abject performance. Very disjointed, as if the players have lost the belief.

Taylor Moore cannot play in a three. He gets too exposed and that shows up his poor decision making and anticipation. He should never have let Juao get across him for the first. That's a player who's very low on confidence.

Mariappa's poor and soft defending for second highlights why he was a free agent.

The rot has set in. The last time I saw this was when we got relegated.

No threat, opposition dictating play and ONE shot on target.

We can't go on like this.

[Crackers Corner]

Gutted at the result but my wife has just had a successful operation today to treat bone cancer on her hip joint so even city cant get me down today.

But they weren't tough tackles that were fouls, they were niggly shitty fouls or just blatent soft ones. A late Palmer one springs to mind, though ref played advantage, never looked like getting the ball.

After the first 15 minutes no one put themself about in a meaningful way.

It was said in jest to be fair 

Niggly, naive- inept. Whatever, Reading were cuter than us, better than us, were tactically better than us.

Yes maybe, on a building site, or in a bank, but not on a training pitch.

Best wishes to Mrs. Cracker - much more important things than football going on.

Have a beer mate

I hope SL listened to the sky commentator who didn't hold back with any of the dire stats or criticism of the team and performance. Reading weren't even that good.

The amount of money this joke of a club has cost me in the past, well I got a fair bit back tonight with Reading the last of my acca for 2500. So thank you for that you gutless *******.

**** me that's an acca, what was your other picks?

[Slack Bladder]

All I can say is Holden's interview with Ashton must have been better than his press interviews

Just read Holden still not come out for the post match press conference

Best wishes to Mrs Crackers and to you...puts things into perspective and on a selfish note cheered me up. Here’s to a speedy recovery and all the best for the future...give her a hug if you’re allowed

[Bristol Dave]

I thought we outplayed them and deserved to win.
