v Reading (a) - 20/3/22

Abject failure an embarrassing let down🤬

[Mr. E]

Gally missed a sitter unfortunately and then Reading hit a real cracker. Without Brereton unfortunately we just don't have the firepower to win matches, end of. The criminal thing was TM not finding a replacement for our most critical area. Hedges still has no idea what is going on or what he's supposed to be doing.

Ladies and gentlemen that’s what you call… a Mowbray special.

 

ALEXA what’s a Mowbray special? A Mowbray special is the where you dominate at 0-0 during the game and miss loads of chances and absolutely bottle it and give the opposition the lead. Usually 1-0

considering where we were at Christmas you’d have had to work really had to balls all this up but he really has done it.

We would have missed the penalty anyway

Just now, booth said:

What role is Hedges doing? Is he a midfielder, a wide player? He doesn't seem to do the role of either.

He's meant to be playing as an Inside Forward on the right, but yeah he's not really doing that.

[bluebruce]

Penalty that. But I'm not even mad that the ref acknowledged something happened, blowing the whistle and stopping play, but gave us nowt. We don't deserve a thing and we would only miss it anyway.

Blatant, but we don't get those.

We've not dominated this one at all.

Paul Ince.

No clean sheet in 345 games.

Welcome Tony Mowbays aces

Has Hedges touched the ball?

Rugby tackle in the box = a retake

Cmon, we all know that.

Yes, he's come short and held the ball up, but offered zero penetration. 

[RTM08]

How many times do I have to see this? We almost never respond directly to going behind. It's pathetic.

[jim mk2]

Forget the play-offs, it's just not going to happen.

It's so bitterly disappointing and the worst thing is Rovers are showing relegation form

This does not bode well for next season

[OldEwoodBlue]

We should have bitten Bournemouth's hand off and got shut of Rothwell.

Absolute passenger today.

[arealbrfcfan]

Nobody put any emphasis on signing a striker at Christmas . We couldn’t  put a good case to return to the prem to Venkys but he was too stubborn to admit he needed to replace Armstrong. Who I do think will be back during the summer off record 

[Doogs]

Any manager out thought by Paul Ince really does need to pack it in.

Because Tony doesn't like strikers. Wingers can do the same job.

Problem is they can't.

[TheKitGuy]

Sorry for my language but I wish we stopped trying to win fucking pens we won't even score it.. stop going over in the box and try get on the end of the cross and you might actually see some results you bunch of bottlers. 

[arealbrfcfan]

First: forget 3rd place

Second: forget playoffs 

Third: forget top ten

Agree 100 per cent. Has one good game in 6

[BigUts]

Fucking embarrassing. Sick of using that word.

[ItsRoverZ]

Hopefully Mowbray walks tonight..or our owners actually show some bottle and bin him.. unacceptable this. Yes Mowbray can't control our players missing easy chances but he's at fault for everything else and he's blown our play off hopes completeley 

[glen9mullan]

Absolute dog####,

Play offs? Having a laugh, been one of worse teams in division since christmas

It takes a unique type of talent to turn a team flying into an automatic promotion spot into a relegation side in such a short time.

Ive not seen that before.
