v Reading (A) Match Thread

[bucktwo]

It looked as if the snake curse was hangi ng over us 

[ramboy63]

Never seen so much hype to a game than before kick off,then we turn in a performance like that

All the back 4 is a concern with passes going astray and nothing at all from wilson and nugent

Franks not a fool and he will change this

Hope so because it’s safe to say I’m getting some funny looks

All it needs is a confident outburst of "IMAGINE HOW BAD WE WERE LAST SEASON!"

Wilson and Ledley having stinkers. Feel sorry for Keogh... No one in midfield showing for him. 

Missing a Thorne or Mascarell type player. 

FFS they are all off it. But Keogh is complete dog feceas

I wonder what all the wrist slashers will say if we come out second half and slap reading 4-0?

If we come out and win the second half 4-0 I’ll run from lands end to john o groats in a forest full kit ain’t happening unless nugent learns how to hold a bloody ball up ?

Reading will tire - we will win comfortably - if anyone turns up from our side!

Nothing, as per. Just crawl back under their rocks and wait for the next time Keogh misplaces a pass.

[ram1964]

Not creating chances,too slow playing out of the back,Reading for the taking if we play offensive football

[Abu Dhabi Ram]

We always start slowly. Always.

No need for panic stations ?

[SaintRam]

One thing in our favour is that Reading have created very little. Everything they've done has been provided for them by our mistakes, which suggests that if we settle down we'll be quite comfortable. 

[wixman1884]

hopefully we get martin on at half time and he gets a hat trick in the 2nd half

I'll be happy in one way because that was my prediction league score. But sad in another way because I've slashed my wrists needlessly. Have you got a towel?

I know someone who ran John O'Groats to Land's End last month so step up!

[uttoxram75]

Reading only dangerous when we hand it to em, very early days, young inexperienced kids up against a tough team away from home. 

Get Bennett on for Nuge and calm Keogh down a bit and we’ll improve second half.

Mount and Bryson are drifting so much, it looks like Ledley doesn't know where to be half the time. Wilson's trying things that aren't coming off, same as most of the team.

Not sure how you can shield Keogh from criticism despite gifting them golden chances 2/3 times then criticise others...

[Duracell]

That’s one 45 minutes out of 92 we’ll play this year.

Obviously most people are going to leap to conclusions about the season after its 1/92 complete.

[Van der MoodHoover]

Not quite happening for us atm. 

Not a disaster as reading were always going to come out hard but we have failed to impose ourselves so far.

Need some of the seniors to help. Unfortunately one of the seniors is having a bit of a wild eyed maniac game so far.

Be a good challenge for frank tho.....

[Adslegend]

45 minutes into the season and people overreacting already. It's almost guaranteed that even the best of teams will have at least a few bad halfs or games during the season. 

Lampard and the staff will still be learning about the players and will make changes accordingly. Plus the team will still be gelling together.

Keogh and Davies have been poor on the ball and given it away but it’s no wonder. They’re completely isolated. Full backs are extremely high- reminds me of Germany at the World Cup.

Feel the same way and like Germany if we continue like this, we will be destroyed on the counter attack, only a matter of time

[Gritstone Ram]

If Frank was having sleepless nights before this god knows how he’ll get any sleep this next week. May be a few Saw films might comfort him at night.
