Spent a lot taking the family to the game yesterday, at half time felt like asking for my money back

That's because we were passive (managers own words) and played as if Reading were Real Madrid.

We have had more shots than them and had a perfectly good goal wrongly disallowed.

 

First half both teams were poor. We were poor because we gave them far too much respect, and they were poor because they were dog <ovf censored> on the day and there to be beat. I've said numerous times now that overall we were the better team and deserved the win. But that doesn't mean I have to be content with the first half performance and pretend like we couldn't have done so much better.

Let’s be honest if we had come flying out the traps and been caught on the break we all know what would be said then. What really happened is yes it was a slow start, we’d had a change of formation which may have taken a little getting used to so were tentative for that reason then once we had a grip of everything including what we were up against we stepped things up. A well managed 90 minutes I’d say.

Looked to me like we started as 4231 which caused a bit of a stalemate, then went to be more of 5311 for the second half.

What a way to spend Saturday night after such a great result

Some excellent performances from Arblaster, Thomas, Chislet, Ripley and Mitch Clarke looked lively off the bench. Great to see so many of the new faces shining brightly
