Reading Post Match Thoughts

This match will be remembered for the day that Sam Nombe finally showed that he is a footballer

His movement was so good today. Bit of inexperience drifting offside a couple of times but he will get better at that.

Sam Nombe I am now a believer.

He’ll be dropped 😂

IBS well done for posting this. It takes a bigger man to admit he was wrong.

Reading manager throwing a tantrum because no one wanted to take a throw in when losing

Flour I was watching a lot in the second half and boy was he animated. When their player was strolling to take the throw in and 2-1 down, he slammed the ball into the ground ranting and racing and we think Evo throws a strop 🤣

Frustrating first half and had hoped we might start with more width - but alas SE doesn't agree.

First half of second half, probably the best we've played all season. Great closing down and taking a deserved lead.

Last 20 minutes, the kind of nightmarish tension that we know all too well as Rotherham fans.

Nombe - great performance. JCH - letting the side down by ambling back from off side positions. Holmes - give us more - great energy and the only one with any composure in the final 20 minutes.

Finally, I reckon McWilliams touched the ball twice when he came on. First, a misdirected header out of play. Second a misdirected pass out of play. If there's a footballer in there, he's doing a very good evasion impersonation.

Frazzled and relieved. Onwards and upwards!

Then he had to watch his player get sent off when it was another Reading player that started the afters. But their forward wanted to join in, right under the nose of the referee

I think lost the dressing room takes on a whole new meaning. I’m not sure he’s familiar with the term discipline

Does he speak good English, maybe that's the issue? But with the throwing ball incident, that needs no explanation

Excellent performance today . Hope the boo boys are not too upset . UTM

Don't understand the criticism of Tiehi . He's mobile,shows for the ball,gets in good positions and rarely gives the ball away. Alongside Kelly and Powell we'll have a decent midfield at this level,despite losing the energy of Rathbone. Contrastingly Odoffin frequently looks lost in midfield. It's very gradual but there are signs of improvement. We need another striker to play with Nombe. Michael Smith would make him a better player. JCH i'm afraid has had his day.

I hope not. Still not the finished article but rapidly improving.
