Olise slices his effort, Lawrence or Kazim score with one of their efforts, Bird's effort rifles into the top corner, Sibley wins a penalty, and we all enjoy the evening having won by a fantastic 4-1 scoreline. We only get those sort of other days about once a decade tho.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfambo Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Who will he single out today. Sibley? Bird? Stretton? Ref? Physio? Kitman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Just now, Yani P said: Plenty of chances today..some average defending and of course the loss of Byrne also had a significant impact..not our day in the end ..shame as Reading were hardly great...but defending like that we got what we deserved.. I agree with this. It was a hard ask with Clarke out, no Edmundson and then we lose Byrne too. Going forward we went back to CKR, as a lone striker, nearly worked but for great goalkeeping. They score a worldy, when a player coming back from a long lay off wasn't closing down well enough. Then a defensive mix up and we let another in. We try two up top and we looked better, score our own worldy, only for Stretton to then limp off too. We haven't got the strength of character or squad depth to cope with it all!

Mengi having to cover for Fozzie looks okay too. Made up for it in the second half. How it wasn't given as a penalty when he kicked their man in the box... Ah well more than Wis to be annoyed by. I thought they looked nothing special and if Rooney had set us up to be more attacking we might easily have taken a point. Disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Kazim for that pitiful excuse of a challenge for a header for their 3rd. Shocking attitude. We were in for a sneaky point there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphanram Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 It wasn’t much of a surprise we lost this. Injuries haven’t helped and up to the last minute of the first half we had done OK. In general the creative outlets of Sibley & Lawrence were ineffective but Lawerence gave a timely reminder of what he gives you, especially away from home if you perform defensively. Knight is a bit out of sorts at the moment and his game seems a bit in-between everything. Bird had a very mixed performance. On the plus side he showed when there is movement in front of him he can impact the game and tactics and formation seem to help or hinder him more than most players. On the negative side (as I see it) his off the ball game simply has to improve if he wants to get the most out of the technical side of his game. Opposition players run off him too often and he is always a yard to late to a close down or block when it matters. For me he made errors (and I will stress not the only one) for all three goals. Marshall - Being protected a little by his reputation. It’s undeniable that he has made a number of costly mistakes this season. He is just one of those players people seem to be a bit more forgiving of. Mengi - Very tough brief for the lad. Was very good 1st half but did get much help from his pals in the 2nd. The rest OKish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney1991 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Can’t believe how backwards knight has gone btw. Decision making utterly atrocious lately from a player who was the first pick to the person I want dropped. We played better Friday without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Second half was defensively appalling, today could easily have been 5-1 to Reading. First half we were solid if uninspiring, first 20 minutes looked rocky but we settled and seemed to adapt. We switch off giving their player 3 yards of space on the edge of the area and he blasts it in. Then we seem to go to pieces, concede a second and could have given away 2 penalties and they had a 1 vs 1 until we scored our worldy. Then they immediately go up the other end and grab a 3rd. Thankfully Rotherham took a massive hit against Wycombe which I think is the only bright point of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 If Stretton is now injured then we really are down to the bare bones up front. Wazza might have to dust his boots off or we could throw Wizzy up there like Cocu did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 So much for the blind faithers mantra that any team can beat any team in this division so we're due one of those results. It's not luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a good wallop on the replay, but the ref didn't give much (at times). The second one Wis stuck his bum out and (nearly?) made contact I thought.
