EstoniaTallinnRed Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thank God for that, really thought we were going to throw this win away. Perhaps the Baker illness and Wednesday's game threw things out, two weeks now to get some players back from injury. On to Luton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexhill reds Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 One of those games where you just look at the points and not the performance. Not too many positives can be taken apart from Bentley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Not a great performance BUT...perspective please...10 unbeaten, clean sheet, 6th in the league! Things have been MUCH worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 So small miracle it is . Well done lads . Not terribly convincing but happy with the win . Regroup in the international break and kick on again after . Bentley is looking to be a fantastic signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thank **** for that! Good start and early goal and well on top playing decent football. After half time we were a different team, stopped doing everything that got us on top and in the end we were the team hanging on. 3 points though and still unbeaten since the opening day!

Jerseybean Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 That was a very painful watch....not sure what LJ will say in his post-match comments perhaps... ’I said to the boys at half-time, let’s go out there and play as poorly as we can and be second best in every position, for the second 45 minutes, just to see if Reading can score’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 And breath. Important win after the small run of draws. Kind of showed where we are at the moment, we battle, we commit, but maybe not quite on the level of a top two side that would have won much more comfortably. Reading really just short of a striker. Maybe deserved another draw, but three more points. Great time to hit the international break, hopefully after that we are seeing one or two back and we can push on. Well done today. A real battle.

RedEyez Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 We’ve done fantastically well to have picked up the points that we have with, essentially, the entire spine of our side ripped out through injury. When the likes of Nagy, Kalas, JD and even Korey Smith come back from injury, I can see us kicking on quite significantly after January. Just at the right time too for the run in . The strength in depth we have when everyone is fully fit is frightening. Very, very exciting times. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Big mistake keeping Semenyo as one of our squad strikers and only adding one. He needs to go out on loan in Jan as he clearly isn't ready for this level yet. However that would leave us needing two new strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think this is where we're missing Nagy and Smith. Massengo is being run into the ground by their absences and with an industrious midfield, we should be able to control the game for large parts. We were excellent in the first half and if it continued, we would've battered them as they couldn't handle how quickly we moved the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rs Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Not related at all but just seen loanee George nurse scored in the 96min for Newport to win the game ! Reading outclassed is in midfield second half , after international break would have been a different story with Nagy back imo. Kasey needs to learn how to shoot. Semenyo doesn’t look championship ready I’d prefer smodzic over him as he looked decent recently. Motm:Bentley (kept us in the game multiple times) or Williams ( brings experience and calm to a relatively shakey back line 2ndhalf ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityCiderEd Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thank God for Massengo and Weimann....they were bloody everywhere and along with Bentley kept us going. I thought we battled well but the quality was awful. A great 3 points but a decent side would have tore us apart today. Williams showed all his experience today as well,quality free transfer.
