Reading Post Match Thoughts

[Yak]

Thanks for that Yak, you have called us average for a long time now and been spot on. UTM

The average thing is no problem pal if the players we have are playing to the maximum and we?re playing a system what suits the players.
We?re better than average but we all know why we won?t progress from this narrow style which makes us play in moments rather than with consistency.

Whilst I agree with all that, we also need some luck with decisions, and from Shrewsbury's first goal last week that should have been chalked off for a foul on Odoffin, to the Birmingham soft pen plus the super soft pen yesterday against us and the frustration is so much worse. UTM

Personally I think "mediocre" is a more appropriate word than "average" to describe everything about the club.
The way things are going we will be the absolute embodiment of mid-table mediocrity.
Season ticket sales will reflect the mediocrity and definitely be below average.
I blame the referee.

Mellow, is that a TIC statement or are you being serious pal?

Luck with decisions hardly likely whilst fatty continues to cover his own shortcomings by slagging the refs after every match.
Surely Stewart could afford a minor operation to stitch his gob shut.
At it again after Reading, saying the ref isn't league 1 standard.
Are YOU a L1 standard manager? Or Joey Barton's alter ego?

Let's not ignore the fact had their two shots on goal that hit the post gone in, then the game was well over. Having said that, we produced a much more attacking second half and gave it a good go.

Don't know what's gone on behind the scenes with Hugill but in the last three games he has played more like the Hugill we all want to see.
Call me bias but, I couldn't see anything wrong with either of his two goals yesterday. First one Lino didn't even raise his flag, the Ref chose upon himself to disallow the goal when not one single Reading player appealed, even the player on the floor.

Second goal, he was definitely onside and that goal should have also stood. Ref was giving it, this time the second lino thought he'd have his glory day by disallowing it. When your luck is down it's down. Yesterday was the officials day but, more and better application the first half, may have aslo won us the day.

We will NOT go down, mid table it will be. As for Evans protecting Clark - Harris....jeez! The player couldn't even control a simple ball, the basics of football. Get him out on loan next season, we don't need his type.

I thought Hugill did ok yesterday, he has to stop this obvious pushing and pulling shirts though, his game would improve 50% if he battled without using his hands. The second goal wasn't Hugill it was Nombe given for offside, even though he didn't touch it.

Obviously the bit about the referee was tongue in cheek because they often get the blame from our chubby leader whenever things don't go our way.
The "mediocre" comment about the club is a serious one and I don't understand why anyone would think differently.

I understand that pal, I thought it related to the Ref
