Reading at home match thread

HT 1-0. Been a decent performance up to the goal, but as Thorpe has pointed out really needed to get TC playing closer to Wells up top - then we get TC in the box and a bit of fortune how it falls to him but well struck into the net.

[Banjo Red]

Nice one Tommy

[And Its Smith]

Dull first half but fitting that Conway scored. The one player with an all round quality in that half. 

[mozo]

Great to see Tommy bag. Finally a moment of composure in this game.

Initially read that as “Nice one Tammy”, brought back some good memories.

Watching the goal replay, lovely sequence of passes

I thought it was quite bright - we dominated but were sloppy and/or unimaginative in the final third.

Anything but dull - what were you watching?

I think it was relatively decent for playing on the South Bristol Salt Marsh.

Wel worked but christ how hasn’t Lumley saved that. Can’t believe he’s still getting games at this level

A few moments but generally a bit dull I’d say. Not sure if you are watching at the ground or online. Sometimes different perspective depending on where you are. Getting it wide only to miss hit a cross over and over is the lasting memory for me!

[maxjak]

Apologies...............but what was last game that Tommy appeared in prior to today?

Good summary. Final third has been poor. Reading aren’t much.  Just found it a bit dull but then I’m tired!

[mozo]

Conway double figures in all comps. Will be nice for him

Christ this commentary on robins tv is amateur….

Really, he's not over talking, letting the viewer watch, and Thorpe providing good analysis / insight.

I quite enjoyed it...just the final ball letting us down.  Feels like the players are a fraction of a second delayed in their passing because of conditions underfoot.  OTC has been the one to move it quicker than the rest.

Conway sharp as you say (I TC), Weimann involved in lots too.  Tanner realising he can get past his man to create our overload. Dasilva needs to be better in his service to Mehmeti on the other side.

Most around me here seem to be agreeing it’s been a bit dull. I do think it matters where you watch it. I’m normally an online viewer nowadays which is maybe why I’m one of the happier ones !

The smallest of knicks. He’s basically threw himself to the ground without doing anything with his arms. Lovely stuff for us anyway!!

[old_eastender]

slow start from us 2nd half

[old_eastender]

For 3rd or 4th time today JD with a ball towards Mehmeti overhit and out for a GK

Think it was against Swansea on Jan 8th?..............Long time, he has been missed for 15 games?

I'm listening on RB today and Chris Honor has been saying what an enjoyable first half it's been for City!

Huddersfield equalise against Boro, a point closer to Cardiff if things stay the same 

[old_eastender]

just keep giving the ball away needlessly, very disjointed
