Real stat buster if you look at possession, shots on target etc. Reading completed 447 passes to our 170 in that match...couldn't do too much with it though I guess. Nice to get three points, but we're not going to play a team like that every week. See now youve got a downer on it. Can't you let us have say five minutes of enjoyment.?

You can bet he's not the only one who's felt like that in recent years. Absolutely but you can see the impact NP has had on Pring. Picked him up put his arm around him and now playing in the first team. Pring will run through brick walls for NP now. That is the culture he’s trying to build and one we will all get behind. Well most of us NR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also on the bench against FGR behind Nagy who wants to leave . Thought that was a bit of a statement from NP. Could be miles out though.

wendyredredrobin Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Glad to bag 3 points, but we certainly seem my to make it hard for ourselves. Having been to up twice we should not have ended up with squeaky bum time again. Pleased to see Cam Pring have a good game and Alex Scott looking like he can become something quite special. Andy Weimann deserved his brace and was really hoping he would get a hat-trick. Chris Martin getting one too was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP3 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 1 hour ago, spudski said: He is when played centrally. Said it for ages. Always felt he's been fitted in around others. Plays his best centrally. Less so when wider. Many on here forget that one of the reasons A.W. came here was because he could play in his favoured central position instead of being used wide where he was. OK, that didn't work out for him but I love his professionalism in there being no outward signs of sulking or lack of commitment to the team. I'd always liked the idea of Martin and Andi close in the middle. 2 clever players together. A.W. may not be as clinical a poacher as the QPR Wells, but he will spot and make the runs to put himself in scoring positions more often. Martin is a player that's aware of his surroundings and should be a good provider, as long as others are close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Just got back. Overall, that’s about as good as City can play. Perform like that in a regular basis and we won’t be going down. Pring was great, Scott was good (final ball/pass often just off but it’ll come) Atkinson fantastic. Yes the two goals weren’t great, but they switched off for our first, that’s football. Fir all of this weeks debate, I would love to know who the other manager is who could come in and begin to sort the mess out more positively. Lets get at the opposition again on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eek Far from fuming, knows we could and should have seen the game out in a less nervous and frenzied fashion but when you haven't won for 10+ games, that's what it gets like, even for seasoned professionals. Playing channels and corners, 'gamesmanship' NP called it, others would call it 'shithousery'. NP knows what it takes to win. But he's far from fuming.

2015 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Can I say Matty James - brilliant signing from what I've seen of him. The player we missed since Pack, he outmuscled their midfield so much today. Someone around me says he looks poor, couldn't believe it. Was outstanding tonight I thought. What a feeling, something good about Reading too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Terrific performance tonight, both players and management. How refreshing to see us getting the ball forward quickly, with a bit of devilment and adventure and sod the sideways, backwards 'possession by inches' we've suffered these past few seasons. We won't be able to rely on the front two putting in the shifts they did tonight (jeez did they cover some ground,) but there was a decent balance of youth and experience and we were much better organised. To those after Pearson's head claiming he wasn't happy at the end, it's great to report he was down on the sidelines where it matters and only for one brief moment went 'hairdryer' and that to the obvious candidate in the dying embers who was standing-off and being lightweight whilst the rest gave their all. Terrific show fellas. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
