retro royal Pretty much the same as Blackpool, we were Oxford poor, no idea how we got 3-0 win, could have been 3-3 or 3-0 either way, two poor sides.

Not seeing the long term plans with Leam, we've just become long ball with no real idea, Doyle and Wifi just don't press, no physical presence. Also noticed PoC pressing out of defence, stupid, he's never getting back.

Was hoping for the best with Leam, getting very worried where this goes, still early days


I called it day one. Leam is not the man to take us forward. I don’t think he’s the man to keep us standing still either. We will go backwards under him and we will get relegated at this rate. I also don’t like his passive aggressive interviews either comes across very abrupt and prickly

One of the last passes of the half from Wing to Abrefa was too high and summed up the half.
We are back to playing long ball, particularly from the centre-backs when we know that neither Kelvin or whoever is in an advanced position will often win the header.

I would like to see Savage and Wing on the ball more in the second half and possibly play with 2 wingers-there is nobody wide right and we are relying on Abrefa to get forward when he has his hands full seeing to Lisbie.

Oh and not only is the streaming hit and miss but the mumbler is back as co-commentator.

Not sure which is worse, the internet coverage or Reading’s attempt to play football :roll:

No point Wing and Savage being on the pitch. Sitting really deep, and the ball jusy being punted up field.

That overhit pass from Wing at the end of the half summed it. Most of the team were pushing up and wing was only jusy in front of our CBs. Pointless

Watching with Peterborough commentary and their team are very good. They noted that Reading only did passing drills in the warm up and they assumed that'd be because we played an effective & dynamic quick passing game.... They found it amusing that we clearly just needed practice at passing.

Poor game and the gamesmanship is ridiculous. This long ball stuff is dire and not working. Has anyone mentioned we desperately need a striker?

That Williams shot sums us up. Absolutely brain dead.

Attacker dives in the box, and they get a yellow. Defender dives near their own corner flag under minimal pressure, free kick.

Refs fall for it multiple times every week.

Second half abysmal. Stop giving away so many soft fouls.
