Millsy :lol: at this chap A.j.T on youtube!
Seems a nice enough chap like most Boro fans but he's doing this bizarre reaction video where he watches the match and gives a reaction on it and he's going nuts at how "they've got the worst defence in the league and we can't get a shot on target!". He's probably a bit drunk the number of times he repeats it but it's hilarious.
He has a point though, poor sod.

Justified about the worst defence though, did you see the pop up Sky put up during the game about the defensive records this season. Reading were 24th for goals conceded, 24th on clean sheets, 24th for one of those xG things etc.

SCIAG Hard to disagree with any of that. Before the match they should have beaten us. We played them off the park. With a decent manager they could have exploited our weaknesses.

From Despair To Where? Quick look at the Boro site, a hell of a lot of Warnock Out. Tactically inept.
Generally saying we just passed the ball around them and that they got it completely wrong tactically considering they were playing a team with no centre backs.
Opinion on the sending off? Harsh but more pissed off that it gives Warnock his Get Out Of Jail Free card. McNair should have gone.
A few "We should be beating Reading" but that's generally in reference to our injury problems and the fact we're statistically were the worst team defensively in the league.
Pretty honest and realistic bunch, all told.

I love giving him stick but would still say that, in Colin, they have a decent manager. Could be that his players didn't do what he'd asked of them. We too had that issue for a while (playing lovely but scary quick short passing football in and around our area). The coaching team were going ballistic. Pauno was waving for them to hit the ball clear and when we did finally clear our lines, one of the coaching staff very audibly shouted 'No More!'. They seemed to get the message at that point and largely cut out the fancy stuff in our area.

I wonder if Veljko Paunovic fancies a move if Reading get points deducted? Despite having a decimated side they were still playing football and keeping the ball on the ground.
They have progressive manager playing progressive football. The complete opposite to us.
The manner of that defeat, given the state Reading are currently in, is most alarming.
Just back from the game. Worst away game I’ve been to in years. Waste of time, money and effort. Honestly can’t be arsed atm and that won’t change until Warnock *** off.
Met up with my bros mate who’s a reading fan, and he said we are comfortably the worst team/footballing team he’s seen in ages.

Hound my biggest gripe with the whole thing is we made such an absolutely terrible job of trying to buy promotion
At least Derby had a couple of real stabs at it, and got to see some quality players in their time (though obvs blowing loads on the likes of Waghorn were more the kind of thing we did)
To completely blow FFP out the water and end up with the likes of Aluko, Baldock, Edwards, Mannone and Popa, as well as give some incredibly generous retirement packages to the likes of McShane, Yann and Joey was absolutely pitiful. Spend an absolute fortune and end up with a team worse than we started with was some achievement

This match is by far the most important we have played for a few years (even more than the last home match last season against Wednesday). Win it we a) go into plus points (for the time being); b) we claw back hopefully some points from the teams above; c) reduce the gap between us and Reading, especially if they are going to be docked up to 9 points.On top of that we are gaining confidence. Another home game to come. If we win that it's 4 points showing. What with Cardiff starting to slip and possibly others in the EFL firing line with perhaps deductions being implemented, it might be the start of something interesting! COYR
Even with the points deduction Reading FC will be fine because they have a very good squad with goal scorers and when their injuries clear up they will have a huge squad - if it was one of the others near the bottom then it would be different but Reading will be fine this season
As it seems like they're struggling for CBs tonight then I've gone heavily on the Derby win. I normally bet against Derby as a safety bet, but thought tonight was too much of an opportunity to win some money ON Derby. It's a lot nicer.

Yeah I don't mind Boro or their fans. They're a pretty genuine bunch for the most part. One of the nicest sets of fans in the league.

Can muster a serious firm on their day TBH

I don't even know what's the best team anymore
Our squad is so so poor and unbalanced. We can't even balance our team towards a hoofball team as we can't hold up the ball in the final third
Unpopular opinion; wouldn't it be better if we just lost this one so he gets the boot? Do you think some of the players might be thinking that way? A scrappy win via set piece would only prolong this sh1t show.
Weather looks bad for Saturday. Heavy rain. Match could be postponed if our stewards can't make it through the floods.
If we play our usual shite but scrape a 1-0 win does that mean the cracks are sufficiently papered over and McCarthy stays?
but for long term gain is it better to lose again against reading then regroup for the rest of the season. Or win against reading then lose the next 4 again.
