At least our new signing Heavy Touch is getting a lot of the ball.

I've been a long time Harte fan, but it's time for Shorey.

Jem, Ledge & McAnuff completely absent.

A bit better.

Shame McAnuff must be the worst-finshing winger in the premiership.

Spurs are closing down like no tomorrow. As soon as a Reading player gets the ball, there is a spurs player on them straight away.

What ever happened to Kitson? I guess he's injured or something.

Horrible to watch at the moment. Ball retention and defending has been woeful. Still only 1-0 though and surely we can't be as bad in the second half.

And we need confidence in defense, which we won't get with Ian Harte today.

Watching on French TV, commentators pretty damning of us, but also wondering why Spurs are not going for our throats.
Hope it costs them.

Be astonished if BM doesn't make a change at HT. Though I'm not sure who on the bench will make much of a difference.

There was some seriously embarrassing stuff in the first half - I can only wonder why Spurs have let us go in only 1-0 down at half time.

We will improve second half and the longer Spurs go without adding a second, the shakier they will get.

Haven't seen Karacan, Leigertwood, McAnuff or Guthrie involved in anything. No quality in midfield and too slow in defence. Harte is being well and truly found out.

It's going to be a long second half :|
