Slater. For the excellent goal
Traore. For the excellent pass for the goal
Ebiowe. For trying to be positive
Reading were terrible and should not have been allowed to get back into the game
The referee was so poor throughout
As many have said, we are so slow with our build up allowing the opposition to get back defending too easily
No sign of urgency or confidence across the team to bury teams like Reading
Liked Liams appointment & attitude but now starting to feel he can’t Coach a side to do the things he wants. Not a promotion manager?

****s sake. He's 4 months into his first permanent job. He's improved us so far. Who knows if he's a promotion manager or not?
Is a Billic or Corberan or Mowbray or 'insert name here' a promotion manager 4 months into any appointment?
Probably not.
Michael Carrick?
They’re also full of experienced championship heads. Howson, Lenihan, Smith. Could do worse than trying to pick off a few of their squad should they go up as a lot of them won’t be deemed good enough for the top flight.I'll give you that but he's 1 in how many?
Anyway, given Boro's propensity to bottle the playoffs, he still has work to do yet.
But non of those you mentioned are remotely top class...They’re also full of experienced championship heads. Howson, Lenihan, Smith. Could do worse than trying to pick off a few of their squad should they go up as a lot of them won’t be deemed good enough for the top flight.
Howson would improve our midfield 10 fold. Lenihan walks into our back line too.But non of those you mentioned are remotely top class...
Howson is 34.... since at Middlesbrough he's played 216 games scoring 6 goals .... Lenihan is 29 he's only played 21 times for Boro... His career at 29 is 225 games and 7 goals... he's no step up on McLoughlin who is only 26 (better with age) and has scored 6 goals in 131 games.... he is Irish though.Howson would improve our midfield 10 fold. Lenihan walks into our back line too.
Majority of the teams in this division don’t have top class players they have steady heads who do their job every week. Aside from our back line (most of the time) and Seri we have a team of inconsistent, impotent, overrated and overpaid players
Two ex Tiger strikers getting the goals!They’re also full of experienced championship heads. Howson, Lenihan, Smith. Could do worse than trying to pick off a few of their squad should they go up as a lot of them won’t be deemed good enough for the top flight.
Bit like Coyle in the week.Slater
Coyle/Seri
Ebiowe.
Awful referee. In the Prem Ebiowe's cross/shot which struck the outstretched arm would have been a penalty all day long.
Two mediocre mid table teams so the draw was not a surprise. The city commentator had Reading lining up in a '5-3-3 formation' so with that in mind City did well to get a point.
Do you remember that day you posted something positive about Hull City?Bit like Coyle in the week.
