It's almost criminal what Carol and the apple of her eye, Flitcroft, have managed to do to us this season. We are so poor it's unreal.

Come on mate we haven’t started too bad here

This Reading commentator is hilarious, doesn't know their players names 😄 

Keeps calling their left winger "a batty man" not sure if that's his name or a nickname

I just see two awful sides out there this evening. Being a bit better, or less diabolical, in some aspects than against Cheltenham is neither here or there.

I was stating the corner was poor not taking the piss out of a player when he’s done nothing wrong. Singling Loft out when he’s doing alright he’s not done anything bad as of yet

To be fair, that was <ovf censored>. Short corner straight out for a goal kick, complete waste. Get it in the danger box, which is how we scored at the weekend.

Does he know "Batty Man" is afro carribean slang for a gay man

Sure you were only saying a few days back we need to grind out results & we ain’t gonna be playing entertaining football. We need to get stuck in show some fight etc etc and keep it tight. So far we have done 🤷‍♂️

Really nice counter there by Vale to get Mighten in down the left. That's a nice sign to see how we've been trying to play through the lines more.

He was all over a Tottenham forum a few months back , saying what a huge fan he was of them - there was a thread on here about it. Just ignore him.

Very refreshing to see someone in our lineup who is terrifying the opposition defender each time he gets on the ball.

We have Loft up front, Lowe in midfield, a midfielder at right-back and Dan Jones back at left-back once again. If you're content with the state of things because we're currently doing alright against another toothless side... I just don't share that optimism.

Who knows what tonight will bring
In a league few teams survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Loft Lifts us up where we belong

 

I'm in after that!
