v Reading (a) - 20/3/22

[booth]

No changes.

Fans say Mowbray gets too much stick and not enough credit when we win games but he doesn't help himself with performances like that first half. It's like the Derby match - if we somehow win today why should he get any plaudits when we've been so downright poor??

Actually Gallagher is more central.

[jim mk2]

Best result of the day.... Wales 21 Italy 22 in the rugby

🤣

[BigBar]

Compose yourself Dolan!

2 excellent chances in the first 2 minutes. 2 awful finishes. 

[bluebruce]

Man I hope this is the last game we are missing Brereton.

Who thinks it's a good idea to have Rothwell so deep? He just lost the ball deep in their half proving he's shite there.

Then a moment later he took the ball and created a chance out of nothing for Gallagher, who shot wide.

Still fancy us to steal a winner here....

And theft it would indeed be. Daylight robbery.

Hudders 3-0 down

[Exiled_Rover]

Another stupid yellow card for Buckley. 

[BigBar]

Compose yourself Gallagher!!

Playing catch up so it’s likely been covered but Giles at RWB?! He was sh*te at RW so how will he be any better there? You would have thought they Tuesday would have re-ignited our season, so it’s very disappointing that we’ve produced such a terrible first 45 mins.

You have to question how Dack was ready for 45 minutes on Tuesday but not today. I'd have actually been tempted to start him and perhaps bring him off around 60 mins in. He won't build his match sharpness playing 30 mins or less.

Should have been hooked at half time... Tony afraid to knock his confidence.

[G Somerset Rover]

Reading have kept one clean sheet in 26 BTW. We simply need to win today.

[booth]

Another good save from Kaminski.

Exactly. Surely he has 45 in him. We only try win games with 20-30 mins left no matter the opposition.

We started the game with Khadra at RWB, but he went off with a calf injury. Mowbray brought Pickering on and shifted Giles to RWB.

Wasn't it about the same with Bristol? Teams must love playing us

[bluebruce]

We have had the two most presentable chances this half and not forced the keeper into a save. They had a half chance and Kaminski had to get down well to keep it out. We are seriously lacking firepower right now. Dack simply has to come on soon.

[chaddyrovers]

Time for Dack

[Bbrovers2288]

Guess result is all that matters here, sneak a win and as usual mowbrays fails will be glossed over , needs to turn this around first
