Oh we have had plenty over the years. 
This all seems so City today.

Yep I can honestly see a Reading winner. Late balls in our box, panic and half hearted clearances with a scrambled winner.

Imagine if we had Brownhill in a game like this, we really lack a player willing and able to shoot from range. That should be a major focus in the summer, a midfielder willing to get near the edge of the box and be accurate with a shot on target.

Scott Twine would do the job

[old_eastender]

good pass from weimann this time, but Mehmeti takes too long to hit it

[Midred]

Were none of the other substitutes worth bringing on?

  I'd settle for Percy String vest at the moment

There’s wasteful, and then there’s this. Can’t believe what I’ve seen at times. 

[old_eastender]

Poor effort now from Mehmeti, neither a shot or cross and another opporunnity wasted. Mean time Bell on for James.

[Spoonbed]

James injured? Either back or hammy?

[BigTone]

Mehmeti really does not do it for me at all.

reminds me of Freeman, incredible skill but some of the worst shooting on the planet

[Spoonbed]

Wells and Wieman have been very very poor

You can see his potential though, better decision making needed.

[Kodjias Wrist]

Wow had did Reading screw that up.

[cidercity1987]

Should have won that easily oh well

Poor decision making is his down fall, your hoping it comes in time.

[cityexile]

Two under strength sides. Did more than enough to win but allowed ourselves to get mugged. O well.

[old_eastender]

Cornick slices a shot wide and that is it, 1-1 FT. King hit the post with a header just before.

Had more than enough chances to score a 2nd or 3rc, but mixture of poor movement and poor final balls really cost us.

 

[Lew-T]

That was a League One game. I don’t think the pitch helped mind you…

[Wanderingred]

Rubbish from City. So so wasteful against utterly dreadful opposition.

[Jerseybean]

Trying to sum that in a word I wasn’t sure whether to go for frustrating or poor

In the end think three words are required, not good enough

It did with Semenyo, hoping this will be similar.

Reading are a terrible team - schoolboy mistakes throughout - almost comical at times and yet we fail to beat them.     Really disappointing performance.

Agreed, Wells constantly offside and Wiemann just off his game. They’ve been like that for a while.

Didn’t slice it, caught it nicely but just swerved outside the post

[ExiledAjax]

If we're going to draw games then I'd rather we dominate, take shots, be wasteful, and draw than be second best, hang on, nick a goal, and draw.

Hard to get excited either way by that game.

[cidercity1987]

With regard to Mehmeti I called many games ago that he reminds me of Kent and got 15 negative reactions.

Not the player for me that's for sure

We were no better though

Weimann seemed to have none of his energy or spark - seemed tired out - and Wells just was never in the right place at the right time,

A combination of frustrating and poor to be fair, although poor up front rather than elsewhere. Thought the midfield was fine as was the defence mostly
