You love to see it.

League 1 player, out of his depth, Mowbrays favourite... Lol

Well done arma, super goal

[frosty]

Get in! Going 1 up early away from home has led to some miserable results since we got promoted, pray for today to be different. COYB

Bet you couldn't wait to put that post lad... Great strike. Still won't change alot of opinions on him. He needs to do a lot more for me. Hopefully he does.

Just got in. Lol @ Armstrong!

It's been funny reading through the post team announcement posts.

Lol i enjoyed it... Definitely needs to be more consistent but imo he definitely has the ability. Plus he plays for us and thats the main thing

There weren't many (any?) posts in AA's defence pre-match so fair to assume everybody was a little down on him based on his recent performances as of late. Scoring and contributing in general will quickly silence the criticisms so let's hope there's more where that came from. 

[Amo]

He wouldn't have scored if no one had dissed him. True facts.

[superniko]

I’ve been a vocal critic, but more than happy to be proved wrong if he can start banging them in. 

[Tugay-is-God]

Ooof Reading got away with that one, never a foul by Dack there

[bluebruce]

Just read in the LT pre match buildup that Rothwell is injured and that's 'why he isn't in the starting lineup'. Hah, good one LT, I'm sure that's the only reason.

We seem to be playing decent anyway.

Oh, give it a rest . He’s been well under par since he got here apart from the odd flash of magic

If he delivers this stuff more consistent, then great! But so far he hasn't, let's hope he kick starts. But half of the criticism should be directed against TM, Armstrong isn't a target man, as he should be when we play with a lone striker. So in my view he is used wrongly.

[Tugay-is-God]

It's been a good half, but Reading are definitely starting to build some pressure. Just need to see this through to half time.

[Exiled in Toronto]

H/T Mowbray 1 Everyone Else 0

Whodathunk Evans would be player of the half and Arma score a belter. Been on top so far; Walton spent the half in his deckchair.

[Husky]

The last few minutes of the half certainly had a bit of the Bristol City aways about it.

 

[Blueandwhitemike]

Very good first half,  could be more than one.

First half hour Armstrong looked a different player and Evans was everywhere, both players showing what they are capable of, hope they keep it up second half.  Could have been more than one and we looked a real threat on the counter.

Reading came into it more, especially in the last ten minutes. 

Gallagher has done well as have most players.

We really need to be back on it at the beginning of the second half, if we are we can win this, perhaps even comfortably.

I'll save my mirth for full time.

Hopefully.

Steady now, this is Rovers we're talking about here. Winning comfortably isn't one of our strong suits.
