I think they are both good enough for the Championship, but they are just similar players. They can work together as a CB pairing, they just lack an overall understanding of how to play that position together. Plenty of CB's, and pairings, have got on just fine at the very top level without pace ir...

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a softer 2 yellows = red than the ones Tomiyasu got tonight. 2nd one was pathetic. Referees need to be helped by the 4th official when its that close to them, he had a far better view than the referee. First one was plain stupid from Tomiyasu but agreed, dreadful call for...

It’s the idea that you have preferred watching the non-football Reading have produced over the last few years over what City have produced that I struggle to get my head around. Yes, I think we need an explanation! I don't like City but then that's because they spend too much and win everything pre...

I question if football is for you if you can't enjoy the way City plays. The only issue I have with them is that now everyone tries to control possession, without the quality players to do it, so it ends up being the Stam style negative passing round the back. I like watching teams attack, not team...

City their usual dull selves. Been a tough watch as a Reading fan these last few years or so but I’d take it all over again any and every day of the week over supporting that. Soulless club :lol: at the whole post but Soulless club? What does that even mean? At the whole post? You don’t think Unite...

Brighton look terrific. Easily see them challenging for a top four place

Amazes me how well they adapt to the players they lose. Smart recruitment, showing you can succeed without spending millions and millions on players

Got to be a concern for ETH how poor his side are away at the big teams. Something like 0-1-9 now against the top 10. Badly lacking a presence up top although Spurs were terrific, looked hungry and athletic. It has been a recurring theme of starting well under new management before imploding which i...

And of course clattering aimlessly into opponents on a cross. How have Wolves lost that. Given two other VAR reviews over the weekend that give pens with the slightest of contact, how did Onana escape that? Same reason Fernandes was allowed to push the official at Anfield last season As much as Sat...

And yeah, Newcastle. They've built one hell of a team. Agreed, fantastic watch Pace, power and aggression all over the pitch. Howe has done a fantastic job Unlike most of the other top teams, they don’t rely on suffocating the other team of possession to win games. Much better spectacle than side t...

Officiating was excellent over the weekend and rightly the referee's seem to be backed. Make the laws clear, laws rather than guidelines and its quite a difference. Maybe powers will be will learn from this and apply in other areas where the game needs sorting out. Yeah Perhaps they should make it ...

Not sure you know how football works. Well, we all know you don't. The season doesn't finish after the first game of the season. HTH. Ah right, so you were one of the clowns who said Villa would be a candidate then it seems. Very strange and needless comment Villa ended last season strongly and hav...

Done his ACL I think? I’m not one to hate someone, let alone someone I don’t even know, but it genuinely couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke. He’s a proper pcunt. Hope his career is fcuked and he ends up in non league soon. Just a vicious bastard. :| What a twat you are Why? Because I’m vehemen...

Performance: cr@p Team selection: cr@p Manager: cr@p Tactics: cr@p Officials: cr@p League One: cr@p Opponents: cr@p Don’t particularly agree about Port Vale. Limited, but not poor Difference being is that they played within their own limitations to good effect whilst knowing our weaknesses and expl...

Always baffled by the "must be better than" crowd. How often has that been said over the last 10 years only to be completely wrong. Struggling to think of any frankly. Maybe Bacuna? Drinkwater? Even Puscas was at least an upgrade on Baldock and McNulty. Most of our big flops were always o...

Granted the likes of McIntyre can cover more than one position, but feels a bit of a waste having two CB’s on the bench, taking up 33% of the outfield spots Especially, given the performance the other night, were the attacking players staked a claim. Even having someone like Carson on the bench, a n...

Just seen the highlights, loving the press, where the oxf*rd was that on Saturday? The first 20 mins. This formation and style will always do better with younger, fitter players with an extra something to play for too. Going a goal ahead is crucial for moral too tbh, a lot easier to chase lost caus...

72 bus

Loafer

72 bus DD's very quiet for a change. Oh and Millsy

Because I have a life and friends and don't constantly have to come on here to talk 24/7

But you're here 24/7 ruining the board, oxf*rd off to AE and have another made up breakdown.

Don’t feed the troll

Started well but you have to take your chances whilst on top. Allowed them a foothold in the game from one of our own set pieces and a poor clearance from Savage. Gave them confidence and they stopped making such basic errors Voiced a concern that this defence simply can’t keep a clean sheet. They a...

Knibbs, Wing and Smith all have some goal pedigree. Ehib and Aeez need to contribute. I think the goals will come Personally, I would give Caylan Vickers a start. I know he’s only 18 but I have been really impressed by him whenever I’ve seen him play. Also, a different position but I’d like Carson ...

Did Jahmari Clarke score a great goal for the under U21s earlier in the week? He could be given a chance against Posh. He did and he might Think he has the attributes to be a good striker at L1 level A bit unorthodox but capable of causing danger. It’s a shame he picked up the injury after the brac...
