MATCHWATCH : Oxford United (h)

[Millsy]

Good 1-1 HT

I think we're shading it tbh.

We've had more of the better chances, but they look on top and more likely to win to me, because we know we'll switch off another two or three times.

Both teams look 90% dire.

Yep that's fair.

[Millsy]

Vickers looks lost out there not coping with the physicality of the game. Possibly Muk on for him at half time

I dunno I thought he was looking quite sharp.

[Brogue]

Dorsett possibly brought back into the team too soon too, everything has come down our left.

He's really not suited to LW. RW with a licence to rove or in behind the striker, yeah. Not Left. And his game wants movement and short passing through the middle and around the box. We just don't do that.

Selles doing good work to put off his suitors.

I'd rather see Knibbs back left and either Vickers or Elliott in behind Smith with Wing a bit deeper.

What I see here is players repeatedly making poor individual decisions time and time again.

Pass completion is 70% which is pitiful. And most of those that were completed are overwhelmingly the passes between CBs.

LOL at the blue legends on the map. A handy guide to Reading's attractions for the archetypal Oxford United supporter.

Yes that made me chuckle too. I wonder how they are chosen?

No Cureton v Rovers though.

There are six sides in L1 with a lower average pass completion than 70% over the season so far.

And one of them is in the Play Offs, two in mid table. We're not one of them

[Snowflake Royal]

What the oxf*rd was Abbey doing then!

[Pepe the Horseman]

We've somehow lost all momentum from the end of the first half. Awful start.

[Snowflake Royal]

Think Holmes is unlucky there, misses the ball but the attacker 'trips' on his back foot.


I can't express how much I utterly detest having a player lie behind the wall. Ludicrous.

[St Pauli]

Looks like the Selles half time team talk has really got the lads going!

Yes there are other bad teams in this division too.

But Reading are a team who got relegated into this division.

And for a club that prides itself on developing technically gifted academy players one might be forgiven for hoping the simple things might be possible, such as completing successful passes.

It’s what he does best

[Royal Ginger]

Homes bicycle kick was the opposite of graceful.

I'm sure Stevenage are fine with you thinking they're a bad team.
