Reading Post Match Thoughts

[Edinburghmiller]

Have to agree Fordes delivery is very poor

not a fan of Forde but don’t like to criticise too much. Why didn’t Newell take over the free kicks and corners when he came on? Or did he? UTM!!

[fc_miller]

Newell did take over, as soon as he came on. Fordes corners are poor, but theneven when others try we try to do the same thing every time 'get in in the box', are we not clever enough to try a set piece once in a while, it would surprise everyone.

Read afew reports saying their goal was guided in, placed...it was good build up by them 3 players on the left with Taylor and Jones not to be seen, but the shot look like a scuff going over the bar.

Towell put in a lot of ground and played some good short passes, but he's too slow. At least Warne noticed that as a team we were slower than them. Vaulks and Towell slide in for challenges and the opponents already run past. But then if either had any pace they wouldn't be playing for us.

A good point, but we tried our best the throw it away.

The Reading fans made it a very good atmosphere yesterday. Made a lot of noise from all four sides of the ground.
16,000 is a great turnout too
Semi silenced the drum though. Not a peep after we scored

Getting fed up with Warney now, he’s negative (needs to talk to someone). does he favourite players? why the hell wasnt Crooks given more play, what was the point in fetching him on that late in game.

Still a points a point and I enjoyed the day

Warney not happy with pre and post match comment from their Manager and John Swift

How can you take offence to a truthful opinion?

We are also so predictable it’s unreal

Have to agree Fordes delivery is very poor

He's not good enough but seems to start every week lately and never seems to be never subbed as well even though he's offering totally nothing. He can't beat a man and can't cross a ball and we put on the left on his weaker foot, I see no logic in doing that when we have a better player in Newell who is a left footed player on bench and Williams who is a better dribbler who should be starting ahead.

We were talking about PW having favourite players yesterday when we heard the line up

[mellowmiller]

Sounds as though Warney may be feeling the pressure. He doesn't normally get stressed and lash out when he's interviewed.
We are a long ball team with some players who work very hard to compensate for their technical deficiencies. Sometimes, just sometimes, we also play some nice football as well.
Not sure what else people should expect given our tiny budget by Championship standards.

It's a bit like being a dog breeder and somebody comes up and says "my god, that's an ugly puppy"

Criticising PW's little puppies isn't allowed.

There’s always excuses isn’t there?
I expect Warney to believe in his players and stop being negative, you can’t argue that points have been dropped due to negativity
