Tend to agree, the only thing I’m clinging to is the fact we play better against teams that come out to play against us which gives us the room on the break. A lot of our good early season away wins were against those teams, although seems a long while ago now

We probably do pay players 3 or 4 times what they do... We also get over 3 times as many fans at our home games. The narrative we spend money is laughable when we haven't spent a fee in about 4 years at this point.

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to tell from the angles we get.

Not watched yet but presume there will be a few angles in this

Unfortunately, Hourihane and Bird are untouchable. Can play s**** for weeks on end and never get hooked. Wasn’t Fornah’s best game, but he was no worse than a handful of others tonight.

Radio Derby dissecting Warne’s interview was a bit odd. Dont think he said anything wrong. He is quite right to be frustrated with the performance and continually having to change it mid-game to try and improve the output of the team. He’s also right to be pleased about the run, but understanding that unless we can do better than this it might not be enough over the season. Thought Steele in particular was being overly harsh.

Wilson’s impact was great, but I don’t think he really made that impact until Sibley was on the pitch (unless I was mistaken). Warne himself said Wilson didn’t play great for the first 10 mins or so of the second half.

Sibley changed that game. Played far better when he was introduced. Sage in tatters.

Idiotic tackle. Absolutely brain dead

Take 2 mins over a throw in which no one moves for, Hourihane too slow and gives it them. Sums it up.

Pretty dreadful so far. Forsyth the only out ball and no movement off him. No movement at all in the middle. Hourihane lead in his boots again. Half asleep, pedestrian stuff. Something needs to change or this isn’t going to end well.

He didn’t play well Saturday, but he wasn’t even the worst of the midfielders

Massive game this. I know that’s the obvious statement, but have to put Saturday right ahead of the festive fixtures and some (in theory) tough games. Start fast, score early and open the game up.

Thought we might as well fire up this thread... Reading set to appoint Chris Wilder as manager.
