Match Day Thread Reading v Hull City

Great minds

 

Terry got out of jail there no doubt. Let’s hope we don’t hear anymore of his playoff bollocks. It’s getting on my tits.

 

? How was Maddison not fit ? He has played all season for Posh ?

 

Quite
Can’t believe everyone else’s lack of faith

poodles!

 

thats not a bad result considering our injuries.Maddison is gonna be one of those frustrating players. I thought McLaughlin was superb. Elder not far behind. I'm still not convinced re Batty.

 

Well, he was blowing out of his arse earlier. No doubting his quality at times though. Got out of jail today.

 

Good point in the end. Great start to the game and Maddison was so unlucky not to score on two minutes when the keeper touched his shot onto the post. Irvine had another great chance three minutes later but put his shot wide. Thought City just shaded the first half to be honest. 0-0. Take that.
Reading the better side in the second half and scored when Long let one through his legs, their first real shot on target to be fair, or to be even fairer the first time they'd actually looked like scoring.
Game changed when Eaves went off and Magennis took up his role. Eaves won FA all afternoon. Magennis won more headers in five minutes then Eaves did in 70.
Wilks and Lewis Potter both made a difference off the bench and in the final 15 mins City were on top.
One touch of class by Lewis Potter set up Wilks in the box and his deflected shot flew over the keeper 1-1 and deservedly so.
Reading hung on and no complaints at 1-1.
Irvine could hardly stand up at the end and Maddison looked in trouble too from a late tackle. Say both would be doubtful for Blackburn.
Conclusion ? Magennis when he fancies it is a class above Eaves. Maddison looked decent but was blowing a bit at the end, but a decent signing non the less.
All of them looked to be playing for McCann and that's all we can ask.
Good point.
Decent away support too.
No complaints.
UTT.

 

Broke the losing streak, came from behind, a points a point...

 

Fair result but we could have done so much better.

 

We got a point...playoffs are a realistic goal now.

 

5 games in a row we've gone behind, though. That's getting tiresome.

 

Who the **** is this gomer that's rung into the Football Forum?

"What we need...is...a striker....who can....when he gets the ball...puts it in the goal..."

 

What did we learn today? Play a left back at left back, a right back at right back and start with Batty. Oh, and Irvine can't pass to save his life, but we knew that already...

 

I assume you went mate. Good report thanks. cos the negativity on here is depressing.

 

Plus fit for league 1 is totally different to fit for the championship

 

Was that a cramp in Maddison's calf at the end?

Straight after that, literally nobody went over to take the corner as Maddison obviously couldn't - must have been 30 seconds for them to figure it out....

 

I thought he got a scrape as he went past the defender.

 

Good prediction i didnt think we would get anything from the game Den but you were right, I bow to your new positivity and superior football knowledge. I'm Happy with a point.

 

Don't tell him that, he's been unbearable since his partner carried him to the final of the Last Survivor duos season (or whatever it was called)
