Match Day Thread Reading v Cardiff City, Small Club This!

Away To Reading this time, nothing to play for, expect a win, expect a clean sheet, and if it’s a Friday expect to be pleasured! My weekly treat, lasts four minutes sometimes! As the season draws to a faltering screech I ask myself...what have I learned this season, and the answer slaps my face once again....Fug all!! Have a good day folks! Masky’s cracks never sold...mean bu**ers....walked away on their own!

 

Ref is that utter clown Jon Brooks who was swansea’s twelfth man when they beat us down here

Seemed to recall the joker did us no favours either when we drew with Boro earlier this season.

And looking back at his games last season he denied us a blatant penalty at WBA, and chalked off a perfectly good late winner v Wigan.

 

So looks like he owes us one then?

Very quiet for a matchday thread - sign ot the times as the season drifts away?

 

Just seen the team -

 

Anyone wanna see Mr Todge?

 

We need to attract posters not turn them sick.

Ralls for Murphy the only change then. MM reverting to defensive type.

 

Wonder if he'll put Ng back in his proper right wingback spot and use Ralls as left wingback again.

Of course this would free up Sang to play in midfield.........

 

These odd kick off times catch me out.

 

So far, so average but Reading look like they can go up a gear of two.

Unfortunately we don't.

BT's prediction looking good at the moment.

 

is MM losing the plot do you think??? early onset dementia

 

WTF?????? what did he book Nelson for, Reading bloke headed it with his face FFS

 

Brooks is a whistle happy to$$er. 4 defeats and 2 draws for us with him in last 2 seasons.

 

In saying that we are awful. Hoping to get points for getting over the half way line.

Wilson and Moore falling over at every opportunity.

 

Never a penalty guv. But we’ll take it!

 

Bah!

 

Bloody, buggery bollocks.

Never deserved to win though.

 

I took some positives away from the game yesterday.

Sang once again looked good. Even defensible wasn't too bad.

Brown had arguably his best game for us.

We did occasionally play a little bit of football on the ground and even Vaulks showed some decent composure on the ball at times.

In the main we looked more organised and our press seemed a little more coordinated and effective than the last few games.

Overall a draw was a fair result as Smithies wasn't exactly busy burning Reading did keep pushing us all the way.

The biggest downside was that the good stuff we did was all too patchy and we didn't see any experimenting going on.

 

Brown did well until he got turned inside out before the cross for their goal. Like most of our team he looked knackered from so much desperate defensive work.

We must get Ng back to right back where he is so much more effective in defence and attack. Then get Sang into midfield where he can provide more creativity. Ralls to left back? One simple shuffle ticks all the boxes.

Nice cameo from Murphy and to a lesser extent Ojo where their pace caused unexpected problems for Reading's defence.

Moore running on empty again for most of the second half. Great penalty though.
