Mucker1884 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Go away Thursday morning... hear rumours of a heroic evening on Friday, get in Monday at 5:45pm... and find out we're down! ? Not the best way to end an otherwise cracking weekend away! Hey, we did well to hang on this long under such horrendous circumstances. Down but proud, is my overriding reaction. They'll get my backing for the final 2 home games, a standing ovation at the close of play, and a massive thanks for at least giving us hope, for so long, in a truly hopeless situation. Now... when's those bloody season tickets coming out... I think we all need to start again! ? 1967Ram, DavesaRam, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums it up though fantastic at home, lame and tame away, the high of Friday night and the crushing low today. Whatever players Rooney brings in he has to bring in players who can perform home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality we needed to win every game and hope that reading do not win more than once. Even if we had got a point today, Reading would have only needed to get 1 more point from 3 games to send us down and that's if we were to win all 3 of ours. Of course we had to go for it today.

Steve How Hard? Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Everything aside, I thought Erin Cashin was immense today. Thought Liam Thompson had a very good 2nd half too. We need these young lads tied down to long term contracts asap. Kinder, LeedsCityRam, Crewton and 13 others 5 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky pundit on duty for the Fulham game said you’d expect inexperienced players to fare less well away from home. Sort of makes sense. I think every player on the pitch has given his all - and hats off to Rooney for motivating them - but in team selection we’ve not had the right balance between youth and experience imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of makes sense. I think every player on the pitch has given his all - and hats off to Rooney for motivating them - but in team selection we’ve not had the right balance between youth and experience imo These players are 19 years old not nine years old. They should be able to play away from home as well. ANd in fairness some of them have. Senior players haven't done it often enough. Lawrence and Bielik need to step up, but Bielik isnt strong enough physically and Lawrence not strong enough mentally. LazloW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does sound very familiar today, like lots of the away defeats, we looked ok, the better side at times, but created very little. Hopefully Wayne will address this for next season ? kevinhectoring and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the one where Ebiowe was pushed to the floor at Swansea. And like today when he was fouled in the area. As I posted earlier in this thread, refs only give free-kicks for fouls on Ebiowe after 75 minutes. And twice he has thrown himself down in the area. That doesn't work either. Although throwing yourself down did work for Charlie Austin to get Tom sent off. Crewton and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
