Millersmad Matchthread - The Millers v Reading

[frogmiller]

We've just arrived at Perigord Towers to watch the match then laugh at the post match comments and drink in large quantities.

It's not the first time we've sat together during a Reading match. The last time was at the New York Stadium. We can't wait to be back there.

Great news this week and congratulations to all of you who've taken up the vaccine to enable us to be there from the 17th May.

Enjoy the match boys and girls. Raise a glass for the return to the stadium.

I'm going for 3-1 to the Millers

Amazing to see how Moore has managed to Copyright his own name....

And Rafael, his real name is probably 8 names long

They've got some decent players haven't they but I'm going for a battling 2-1 win for the Millers. Why not.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

If we can get enough of a supply to Ladapo then we have a chance

If we sit back then it might be boring and ultimately painful

[CTMilller]

Morning Frog'n'all. I've no instinct any more on whether or not we will do well. Teams have begun to suss out how to pull us around and the key will be whether or not we are smart enough to outfox them with a new variant of what we do well. We will see.

BTW, I am now officially CT 'Two Shots' Milller

Hello to all and good morning Two Shots.

[sota]

Brecks and co waffling on about 10 seconds behind. Or should that be 10 years lol

[wrinkly]

Smudge misses a very good chance.
Wednesday don't.
Currently below them

[CTMilller]

:d

So much for resting Wiles. Robertson off after 15 minutes

Yes correct

We are all plan A with no variation

[ragingpup]

Freddie missing his customary good chance also.

[Lolmorgan]

Freddie missing his customary good chance also.

I think I could have scored that he tried to be too fancy.

[ragingpup]

Think Vic tried to hold that and fumbled. Oh dear

[wrinkly]

Mistake from Viktor 1-0 down.
Stats suggest game over.
Nowt's gone right since the game started.

[ragingpup]

Suspect Robbo will be out for couple more months now. What was he saying about new contract?

Wheels really feel like they're coming off. Come on lads!

[CTMilller]

0-1 Victor spills an instinct save and Reading get the second ball in - tough.

[Lolmorgan]

gru will be happy.

[wrinkly]

At least the comms has turned to the all important question of "what biscuits do you like"

[Brin]

Come on gru. I’m waiting for your, ‘I told you so’ XD

[gm_gm]

We look poor again

[wrinkly]

Come on lads - lift the gloom

[rolymiller]

What is worse we will have all on fielding a back line against the pigs who are winning by the way.

[ragingpup]

Ffs Freddie! That should have been at least on target

[wrinkly]

Ladapo should have left that one for Smudge (and let him miss it)

[ragingpup]

To be fair to the lads, they're not doing too bad going forward and created 3 good chances. Certainly no worse than midweek, albeit that's a very low bar. Hard to imagine the defence not conceding more chances though

[sota]

Ladapo should have left that one for Smudge (and let him miss it)

Lol

[Lolmorgan]

Bit of good news Coventry & Birmingham losing.

[crookadile]

Bit of good news Coventry & Birmingham losing.
No good if we can’t win though.

[gm_gm]

No good if we can’t win though.

Correct we need 7 wins and it’s not looking likely we look a yard off the pace and vulnerable at the back.

[mygiddypant]

[mygiddypant]

l

That's a good one Grist XD

[clarkey1974]

No good if we can’t win though.

And neither is games in hand and goal difference and any other straw which is available to clutch..

[mygiddypant]

Players always play better when they're not playing. When they get the chance you realise why they weren't.

[wrinkly]

Any early optimism was soon eroded after a couple of decent chances missed, yet another injury and a gifted goal. Another good chance missed and a bit of a lucky escape right at the death (although credit Harding with the clearance).
We've not played too badly and hopefully will create more chances and actually convert a couple in the second half.
After 4 defeats though, and the fact we don't win from 1-0 down, it's not easy to have much confidence.
Odd how time flies when we're behind.
A win now would be a massive result.

[Pattylallacks2]

Not one shot on target in 45 minutes.

[MillersTime]

We desperately need a spark. Any kind of goal to kick start us.

[rolymiller]

A conspiracist would say ladapo is deliberately missing these chances cos he int getting regular games. I think even i would gave takenone of his or smiths chances today.

[wrinkly]

Crooks touches the ball

[gm_gm]

Just no quality at the moment

[mygiddypant]

Get Vassell back!

[mygiddypant]

"Looking for Ladapo again" God help us.

[Lolmorgan]

Not one shot on target in 45 minutes.

Now 64mins how the hell are you supposed to win.

[millertop]

What the hell do we practice in training?

[wrinkly]

Wiles manages to conjure up the worst pass of the match. Why ffs?

[CTMilller]

Just no quality at the moment

That's exactly it. We're hopeful rather than certain each time we try a pass.

[ragingpup]

That pass from Wiles just sums us up. Promising break, numbers forward and he passes out perfectly between his two mates for a throw in. Just not good enough at the basic passes

[mygiddypant]

Shocking passing! :blue:

[wrinkly]

Wiles manages to conjure up the worst pass of the match. Why ffs?

But Crooks bests him with two on the bounce.

[Pattylallacks2]

The confidence that was there 6 or 7 matches ago has totally evaporated. They all frightened of the ball

[gm_gm]

This is really bad to watch can’t pass

[Brin]

League 2 at best. We look awful and yes we’ve had to change a lot around today but this is bloody awful.... we are down .. I’m calling it today. Heaven helps on Weds night we’ll get massacred. Absolutely shocking passing it’s as if they don’t care and are just going through the motions.

[Pattylallacks2]

I've seen some shockers over the years but this is up there with them

[wrinkly]

This is really bad to watch can’t pass

And these aren't "hollywood" passes. Simple bread and butter passes are beyond us

[gm_gm]

13 shots none on target says it all

[Lolmorgan]

Can we sack Warne & get Mick McCarthy in,Cardiff are flying ;D

[Brin]

Come on lads anything pleeeeeease!

[Pattylallacks2]

Colin may be available next week

[wrinkly]

5hit corner. As expected today

[Brin]

We wouldn’t beat bottom of league 2 today

[wrinkly]

Silver lining - Wednesday gone from 2-0 up to 3-2 down

[ragingpup]

Brum equalise. But weds have blown 2 goal lead and now losing

[ragingpup]

Shot on target!!

[Brin]

Can we get Jerry Yates back, scored another 2 today!

[Pattylallacks2]

Doesn't really matter what the other are doing. Can't see where our next point (or goal) is coming from at the moment

[wrinkly]

Clarke has a shot on goal . Lap of honour?

[ragingpup]

Brum in lead. ****

[CTMilller]

The Flying Dutchman was doomed to sail the seven seas forever and Rotherham United suffer a similar punishment endlessly seeking a goal from 0-1 down.

See you Wednesday for Wednesday.
