The biggest complement you can pay Beale is every player seems to be improving, they play for the team and his tactics are spot-on. The biggest fear is he will be head-hunted by a Premier League club...

After 13 games? I doubt it. The signs are good, but we might lose a few on the trot soon and then everyone will be screaming for his head. He’s got a three year contract, he’ll be a PL manager if he’s keeping us in the PL in year 3. And a lot of what’s needed for that is beyond his control.

I didn't think theirs was a penalty, he seemed to dive and plonk his foot on Tim's at the same time. Anywhere else on the pitch and it's ( ref wave arms ) play on.

Have another look. Tim clearly takes his right foot away.

I did and I think Joao steps on Tim and dives. It should of been a free kick to us, but it doesn't matter now. Incidents in the penalty box needs sorting out. It's getting silly now.

That's weird, I don't see it that way at all. Cert pen for me. I suppose our difference of opinion on something that we've seen numerous times shows what a tough job refs have.

Yes, still not sure whether that one was a pen or not. Think it needs freeze frame by frame to see for sure and maybe then still not clear. Not easy for a Ref. We won anyway so I'm not bothering with the freeze framing! The handball one early on was defo a pen for us though. Beale very generous saying the officials were all unsighted.

His incoming players including loanees have been excellent too, obviously. When I recall the kind of dross bigger clubs saddled us with in the past, it's really refreshing.

For what its worth I thought all three were penalties (Ince doesnt agree) and having watched the highlights a couple more times I am still convinced. The other certainty in the game was that Andy Carroll should have been sent off for his totally out of control foul. He did what so many of them are good at and that is to almost attack the referee whilst bawling that he took the ball. VAR would have given all four decisions.
 
yes, definitely.
Replay-itis of Tim's run into the box and keep thinking the Reading player's surely going to pull out of the challenge!
