Reading v Rovers. March 2nd 2021, 8pm.

[BigBar]

Nyambe been awful tonight. Pains me to say but fair is fair, haven't seen him put in a poorer performance.

[Torgeir]

What's with the short corners?

[roverandout]

Bell lucky the attack wasn't further forward

He was terrible at weekend too

Rovers when "chasing" an equaliser:

Get a goal kick, take it, 25 seconds and 8 passes later it is still in our 6 yard box.

Possession stats positive

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Cardiff won 4-0 with a monster 27% possession. 

 

[BigBar]

We win a corner, sky shows a reply, next thing Reading and racing towards OUR goal and Bell synically fouls one of their players..Wow!!!

Keeps the possession stat up

[grinder]

Is Tom trybul playing some odd game of kabaddi where he holds his breath when he crosses the halfway line then has to return to his own half every 20seconds? 

[Tom]

Once again our own corner results in a needed yellow for one of ours; idiotic stuff

Nyambe is the only one who tries to make things happen 

But he's a full back!!!

[roverandout]

Ref is a tophat. Getting decisions wrong on both side

Believe it or not, Evans passed it sideways. To a reading player.

[Hasta]

Brereton kicking a defender and then appealing for a penalty there.

[BigBar]

Get Trybull off

[RoverDom]

Credit to brereton he's ran the full width of the pitch there...

He's attached to a bungee cord.  The other end is round our goal post.

To be fair, short corners are statistically more productive than traditional corners - which are generally useless. 

[TheRoversReturn]

The Reading manager should be telling his players that the best way to attack is to give Rovers the ball somewhere near the Reading goal. There'll be some Reading player racing away into the Rovers half within seconds...

Why do Reading need forwards when we set up the opposition attacks ourselves?

Ours aren't. We scored from a real corner the other week. We've scored feck all from a short one.

This is dismal (as always)

[simongarnerisgod]

this must be the easiest 90 minutes of any reading players career

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

Actually when was the last match Rovers: i) equalised in 

            ii) went on to win and

          iii) will it ever happen again before the sun becomes a red giant?

They all have. They look lost. The tactic employed seems purely of praying someone can come to with a moment of brilliance.
