v Reading (a) - 17/8/22 - Mark 1

[chaddyrovers]

JDT has got the players together given them a talking to

[Tom]

Was that Vale that stopped running for a ball that was never going out? Shocking

Sorry forgot the middle 2…Buckley probably the worst player on the pitch.

He has no-one to pass to.

Going to be JDTs most important half time talk yet! 

And some Re-strategiesing needed! (if that's a word )

The problem is very clear we cannot breach midfield areas - vale is isolated and when he loses the ball it brings pressure, same with Dolan. SS needs a free reign to break the central area

[Tugay-is-God]

Their keeper couldn't have had a bigger mare at the weekend either, would've come into the game with no confidence. 

We haven't even tested him yet!

[bluebruce]

Travis (not Buckley as the commentators just claimed) had to come off briefly there...would be a real problem if he got injured.

[Sweaty Gussets]

Is JDT getting stuck into them?

Gallagher, Dack and Hedges at half time please. This is as poor as a Mowbray death spiral match. 

Could be too late.

Need to change it now.

A nothing game so far. Not a lot in it, other than they seem more up for it than we do.

Yes, someone needs to tell him he's not in a friendly.

[ItsRoverZ]

Really embarrassing from rovers this.. no where near a top of the table side ..Reading very comftable and must think how the hell are these top

[WacoRover]

Both sides have injuries, yet it’s the team leading the Championship that pays for their inadequacies first. 

[JohnD]

Nearly two, cleared off the line

[duckson]

Ayala off the line

[bluebruce]

Lucky to only be one down here. Pathetic display so far.

[imy9]

Pickering Is dire today. That side is getting torn apart

[Guest]

Rovers looking very frail and uncertain at the back. Why the feck they are camping in their own half rather than taking the game to this lot is unfathomable.

[booth]

Reading almost scored, cleared off the line. Too many passengers.

[Danny O.Brien]

Feel like I'm watching last season again. Vale and pickering terrible. Should've started dack.

[Tugay-is-God]

At 6s and 7s here. 

Getting pressed off the park by a Paul Ince team. 

[Tom]

Reading commentators upset that Phillips is roughing up Shane Long - who is over twice his age

Eh? We are constantly losing the ball and looking under pressure yet have barely entered their third. It's shite mate.

[Tugay-is-God]

Another cleared of the line, Jesus. 

[JohnD]

Another off the line, getting battered
