MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a)

[Orion1871]

Man our defence is shit

Hopefully Moore will be up to speed and can start games soon.

[Snowflake Royal]

Christ, Sarr and Holmes have no idea how to play together. Incapable of playing in a line and constantly one stepping up and the other dropping deep and playing Blackburn onside.

[Orion1871]

Lucas Joao just jumped and won a header. Wonders never cease.

[tidus_mi2]

How the oxf*rd are we hanging on?

[Brogue]

Goal

[Snowflake Royal]

Great head from Long. Another shot on target.

Tbh, even if we lose, and given we could have conceded an absolute bucketful, this is so much better.

We're giving it a go a creating chances. And we're not just booming it up to Carroll.

[tidus_mi2]

CASADEI!!!

[Snowflake Royal]

Goal! Casadei has been realy growing into this. Most of our best chances. Lovely strike.

Clever lay off from Joao for the assist.

[Hound]

Nice goal

Actually been quite good going forward unlike our chaotic mess of a defence

[Orion1871]

Who would have thought that playing with some width, pace, and intent would get us our best spell of the game?

And now a goal.

[Sutekh]

**** me

[AthleticoSpizz]

CASADEI!!!

thank you Chelsea yoof !!

[Vision]

This has been way better . Of course we’ve given up chances but we’ve looked a threat for most of the game .
Test us how we play the final 25 minutes . Do we go for the win or try to settle for a draw .

[Snowflake Royal]

Blackburn are a really odd team. Play some great football at pace. But they've squandered half a dozen chances and they have such a soft underbelly and just let the opposition play.

Yeah, that freekick aside he's done well. Finds himself decent positions in midfield

Is it actually a management decision to get Reading more on the front foot tactically or just something that the number of injuries have caused?

[Jackson Corner]

Come on you rzz could the midweek bs strike again.

[Millsy]

I wish Long wouldn't always just look for the dive.

[6ft Kerplunk]

I wish Long wouldn't always just look for the dive.

He just doesn't have the legs to stay away when he gets a yard or two now.

[Snowflake Royal]

I wish Long wouldn't always just look for the dive.

I wish he didn’t try to beat the defenders for pace, he's quick for his age, but not that quick.
