MATCHWATCH : Brentford (h)

[Sutekh]

Olise really needs to practice his free kicks

[Royal Ginger]

Reading look great, but need a plan B from corners. Brentford are all over Morrison at the back post.

Joao needs to pull the trigger there.

There was one early on I was amazed he didn't have a dig too.

Weird.

He’s so confident it’s almost like he tries to walk it in single handedly sometimes. It’s what makes him so good, but it’s also his weakness.

[Snowflake Royal]

It's Reading dominating, not quite converting. Whilst Brentford look capable of something magic at any attack.


Olise looking for that. It's a foul, but he does it too often and will get the odd one go against him.

[Hound]

Been a very enjoyable half. Two good teams but we’ve undoubtedly had the better of it. Should be going in ahead

Brentford pretty streetwise as well - lots of little nudges and dives and very noisy bench

Still good signs - let’s see if we can repeat that first 45

[Zip]

Superb first half undone by their bit of magic. We are more than capable of winning this, Ejaria and Richards have been outstanding.

[Winston Biscuit]

The Biscuits looked to be dunking the busy Bees early on

[Ascotexgunner]

Good, shame we conceeded. Got to take those chances we had. We had the better chances, could of had 2 or 3 easily. They don't look that solid at the back and we have got behind them a couple of times.

There's a few in the XI who tend to tire... Olise, Ejaria, Semedo. Yiadom's first start in ages.

Not sure I fancy Aluko being up to this stand. Holmes doesn't have the pace for the Brentford attack, don't think Esteves has the quality.

I'd like an early goal or two second half please. Fear Brentford easing ahead the longer it stays even, if you know what I mean.

[windermereROYAL]

Pauno and Frank had a few words there.

[Hound]

Laurent and Richards have both been excellent but really weak on their goal

[Winston Biscuit]

19 in 22 for Lukey Joao

Laurent and Richards have both been excellent but really weak on their goal

Yeah just about to say, Richards steps out just as Laurent stretches and misses out. If Richards stays still he's in a much better position to step into the gap that Da Silva shot through.

Also very unlike Laurent getting pushed off the ball
Normally one of our strongest players
I think he lost his balance a touch

[Greatwesternline]

Would rather Ejaria on set pieces tbh

Olise has produced loads of quality over the season so far, Ejaria has barely taken any at any point.

I don’t think he expected the check back.

[Snowflake Royal]

3rd time Dellor can't tell the difference between Joao and Semedo.

That's at least 4 for the match now.

[Snowflake Royal]

Looked like Semedo fell over his own feet
