We were better going forwards yesterday, but only because in Sanogo we had our best striker in a red shirt all season. What a staggering contrast in the performances of Yann and Makienok - totemic of the way the Belgians have ruined the Club. The first a deft cushioned header after he had found space, the second a stunning curled shot. Can you imagine Makienok scoring that one ? Although we created more, you always felt that Reading had plenty more in the locker if required. In addition to four goals, they hit the bar twice and forced a couple of new saves. It was quite an achievement for Riga and the owners to send out a completely new back 4 this late in the season- another real tribute to the way they have ripped the Club apart. Of the 4 new defenders, Motta was the best and looks a tidy player. Enjoy him while you can. Suk-Young was ok, although clumsy in possession. Fanni was poor - a typical, 'past his best one last payday ' Network dud. Well off the pace even at this level. And then there is Roger Johnson, who in between arguing with team mates [near fight with Diarra], giving away needless corners ["thats why we're going down" we sang], managed to give a performance so diabolical he made Andre Bikey look like Sir Bobby Moore. Message to Riga- why did you recall this carthorse, and WHY the F**K can't this side defend set pieces? Lots and lots of empty seats despite the fiver gimmick, although sad to think this is the last time that we ill play in front of a half decent crowd until the Belgian virus leaves. A quick straw poll of the 6/7 fans we talk to around us yesterday showed that 5 of them won't be back next season- staggering. The Club is in massive, possibly terminal decline now. Riga is not the answer, and neither is that assortment of sh1t out on the pitch.
Roger Johnson is one of the worst players to of worn our shirt since returning to the Valley he moans does nothing apart from lose possession and has an arrogant way about him that would be fine if he were any good
Johnson's form tailed off at the end of last season- the writing was on the wall. Against Colchester [bottom of League One] in the Cup, he was the worst player on the pitch. Since then he actually seems to have got even worse. Not only is he a liability, he spreads fear and panic across our whole back 4. I wonder what the Belgian Bitch thought yesterday when Yann curled that 2nd one in? I was one of many in the Covered End who stood and applauded the goal.
What else can we expect from our "scouts". Johnson was playing in India, so I'd be amazed if anyone bothered to check up on his form. Ditto Fanni, Motta and Suk who have hardly played this season, oh and Williams. What a joke our club has become.
despite a hattrick and some goals and a big crowd, i took nothing out of that game. i honestly do not give a sh1t who plays, as long as they try AND we pick up points. we were down a long time ago. so many people ignored the protest. couldnt they spare just 5 mins of their time to just add weight to the cause. not renewing next year, even for £150. i'll only go back when RD and KM have gone
Me too I fact I cheered both Yanns goals quality man quality player so pleased he stuck it to the board yesterday
Yann showed his class by not celebrating the goals. The comparison with that pile of albino sh1te Makienok said it all.
Big Mak's another player who can't have been scouted at all, considering that he hardly played at all the previous year. If a scout had watched him yesterday he'd say something like "He's a game trier, always willing to put himself about, but without any of the basic football skills required at a decent level". His agent would have said something different and that would be enough for whoever made the decision to sign him.
I still find it funny Riga saying he could tell how good Sanogo was in the first train session - but waits a month to start him. I've now officially written him off - and hope he doesn't last the summer. I fear RD has run out of managers though and he will remain.
I haven't yet commented, because I'm still fuming. How can you play 5 defenders and concede 4 goals, and 3 the previous week. **** these Belgians. I made up my mind that even if it's £150 I'm not renewing. How can they say Yanns not good enough and then he turns up and tears their **** assembled team to shreds, and then our twat coach say "we played well...." GO **** YOURSELFS IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE PLACE THE LOT OF CANCEROUS ****ERS! N.B: apologies to you all for that
