Match Day Thread Reading v QPR

Did Armand Traore ever actually exist or was he a sort of alter ego for all of us like Brad Pitt in Fight Club?

 

They didn't mate!!
My lad came through from the changing room in time for the final whistle and we both cheered. Some of his team-mates and one of the coaches are Reading fans, so it was rather sweet.

 

Phew. Not sure I can stand too many late results like that, but they are definitely exciting.

Overall, I think we played well in a difficult, disjointed and rather attritional game. What chances there were looked to favour Reading in terms of quality, even though officially they didn't actually muster a single on-target effort. We rode our luck a couple of times, but I don't think either front line really fired, giving the defences a chance to dominate. We looked more threatening once Chery came on.

I feel sorry for Al-Habsi, he's a keeper I've always rated and one I'd have been happy to sign. However, I can't help but smile when I remember the hash he made of Ned's header.....

Three points on the road, a good defensive performance with another clean sheet, and only 2 points off the playoffs!

 

I thought Faurlin was mom IMO
Sandro was good
Ned I am not sure he can head a ball but it went it
And we are officially hard to beat and credit to NW and CR for turning it

What's a momimo?

 

It's a part of the wedding ritual for Yoruba people (a Nigerian clan). A 'momimo' is basically a get together before the wedding for both sides of the family to meet and get to know each other.

Why DT reckons Faulin needs one is beyond me...

 

Hector of Reading seemed a useful player, in defense dealing with our tricky wingers and he also had a few cracks on goal going forward.

 

He's back on loan there from Chelsea, bizarrely. Good championship centre-half and will fit in nicely now they're an established bottom half Prem club. If Anton is your second centre-half then always expect the worst.

 

Anton seemed to do all right last night. Unfortunately.

 

I went to the game last night. The game was poor but when that goal went in you would have thought we had won the league!
I was really struggling to pick a MOM. I thought a lot of our players looked heavy legged and hesitant. The kid on the wing does not seem to have the confidence to take on players and neither Hoilett or Phillips have any concept of how to make runs behind a defence. Faurlin looked bright which was pleasing considering his injuries.

As we went into the last 10 minutes I think a lot of sensed that we could nick it, but after Neds miss I thought that as it.

Really pleased for Neil Warnock. A good man to have on your side - rowing with the 4th official over very decision that went against us and on the touchline urging the players on all night...we will miss him.
