Well well well.

Another game without defeat, another result away from home and this is with no fully fit strikers. It is a great run we are on and we played really well, that midfield really put a shift in and they can play. Imagine this team with a Michael smith up front grafting and putting the odd goal away. I hope we build on this and don’t screw it up in the January window, I think it would be great to hear from the owner he is very quiet in this centenary year -
Great goal from Savage. You have to admire skill when you see it.
And a great performance from the ref. Has to be applauded as they are so infrequent at our level.
And the Millers? Another wonderful, disciplined performance. Confidence, in yourself, and in your teammates, is worth a point in itself,
and we seem to have it bucketloads at the mo'.
So many individual performances worthy of MoM, so not going to single out one player. He didn't survive the whole match, but a mention
for Jordan Hugill, who has taken a lot of stick from Millers supporters.
Hammy's plan A is working a treat. At the mo' I don't see anyone in the league that is playing at a level above us. If we can hang onto
the 'stars' and get people fit, we could be in a very strong position in the new year.
SO happy at the mo'.Comment

Took an absolute Beautiful strike for them to get owt.
It was like we had 10 Dan Gores on the pitch in the 2nd half. He was everywhereComment

Been there last two games and a decent point again today. Playing like a team and I really like the touch and snap that both Spence and Gore have in midfield. MarthaÂ’s a decent option up top if playing on the break. Another one where the home fans will be going home frustrated and I love that. Proper screamer from them, but IÂ’d like to know what was said between referee and lino just before when it seemed they gave offside when it came off the Reading player. 7 points from our next three would be lovely!Comment

Always disappointing to squander a lead but I think most people would have taken a point before the game, me included.
We've now got 3 home games to come out of our next 4 league fixtures, so a chance to capitalise on that and move up the league.
And what a poor league it is. You've only got to look at today's results to tell you that a play off place is there for the taking this season. Bradford City haven't won in 6 league games, yet are still second.Comment

Great point, especially when you consider how many players are missing.
Good to see Holmes back, but Huggy really needs some help up top.
As long as we don't lose too many between now and Christmas that would be brilliant, then get some bodies back, and Hammy might actually have some players to choose from.Comment

Oh also - imagine if a couple of months into his saviour ownership TS had started letting off fireworks before and after matches?alarm bells would be ringing! What was all that about for Reading who?ve been financially threatened over the past few years??Comment

Another battling point. Great team performance.
Looked at the table just before they scored and we were 4 points off top spot. Wow. Whoda thought it 5 week agoComment

Just seen our goal on the highlights. Wow. An absolute superb bit of play. That flick from Hall and then he gets the return pass, Hugill leaves it and then boom, we score.
I've watched it back about a dozen times now. If we were playing in sky blue you'd think it was Man City!Comment

I've just watched it again.
If Denzel Hall keeps doing filthy things like that there's no way he'll be with us next season. And what a perfectly weighted pass from Spence. As Alan Partridge might say, that was liquid football.
Someone tell me I'm not going over the top please.Comment

No you're not pal, not at all. What a great build up all round and slotted home to perfection our goal was.Originally posted by Heliosphan78 View Post
Earlier today I posted that so long as the players give their all we will have to ride out the injury problem for now.
Be positive and strong for each other today lads and good luck!
They gave everything asked for. Now 8 without defeat, 5 wins and 3 draws and yet still from a very very depleted squad. No regular striker(s) up front the entire second half for us, speaks absolute volumes in taking a point today. Well done Matt, his crew and our team for a great backs to the wall performance. It was only a superb strike from outside the area that stopped us from taking all 3 today.
Jordan lad, where have you been hiding yourself for the last 1.5 seasons? Great hold up play, headers won and flicked on, battled well and shame you couldn't see the second half out.
Up front is now a major worry if Jordan can't make the game next Saturday. To his credit. Martha is fast and silky but an absolute lightweight to fill in out forward number. This must now be a real worry for Matt?
Josh Ayres? or dare are I even suggest Hamish Douglas now Holmes is back in the side? We need some big men up front and these two fit the bill in our current plight. Not so daft with Ayres as he is a forward and was on the bench today, I know Douglas is a C/H but it's the height I'm thinking of. Just a thought.Last edited by Brin; 22-11-2025, 08:42 PM.Comment
