niceandfriendly Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 thank fuuuuuuuuck! Not a good performance by our high standards this season, but Readings work rate was unbelievable - can't believe they managed to keep it up all season. A point gained having not played well and with only 10 men. 4 points from West Ham and Reading? Definitely would have taken that before the games! Phew. Good night all from Asia.

Never got a grip of the game and we just weren't at the races. 1 down, down to 10 men and we STILL got something from the game. It's a very positive result, i doubt we'll play as poorly again this season. Be a bit more positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 Well below par but still managed to get a point - overall we can't be too unhappy with the outcome. And as I've said before, an occasional kick up the arse like that is sometimes a good thing. Reading did well but we brought most of the pressure on to ourselves with some very poor passing, especially underhit touches and lay offs, just like the one that tempted Hammond into his sending off. I felt a bit sorry for him and you couldn't argue with the decision but both his bookings came from him simply trying to battle hard and win possession back after teammates had lost the ball. We know we can play better than that. The effort was there and I didn't think there was any complacency, we simply played bad football and too many passes failed to connect. On the plus side, I thought we defended pretty well and given that our defending hasn't been the best at times this season, and we lost Fonte at half time. Martin did well coming on into a tough game, and the whole side battled hard... we would've made it much easier for ourselves had our passing been even vaguely close to how we've seen in most games. The team need to be hard on themselves and recognise how underpar they were, but not dwell on it too long. We know we can be better and we just need to get back to what we're capable of.

Pedro Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 To get a point from a poor away performance is a bonus. So Alps, you expecting us to win every game, you just can't wait to slag the team off, **** poor supporter if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 LGTC.....That is why De Ridder should start every game, impact sub my a r s e, he is far too good to used only 5-10 minutes per match. Lucky to get away with that, Lambert was far too deep, too many stray passes and a lack lustre display until De Ridder came on. All credit to Reading though, they had done their homework and closed us down at every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 Would have taken a point before the game in all honesty, despite Reading's relatively poor home record this season, but to get one after the way the match panned out I'm well happy. For all their workrate and pressing, Reading didn't really create much in the way of clear opportunities IMO, so we have to be pleased with the way we defended against their pressure. It's just unfortunate that we couldn't exploit the spaces that were left by Reading's continual closing down of our players. We miss Lallana, and Guly looked like he hadn't even woken up tonight - can't see him keeping his starting place ahead of SDR much longer. Hammond's first yellow was a tad harsh I thought, but the second one fully deserved. It's great to have such a capable replacement in the form of Schneiderlin while he is suspended. MOTM for me was Chaplow. Unbelievable workrate and never gave up on anything. If the rest of the team had followed his example it would have been a completely different game.

mulletsaint Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 Great to get a result after such an appalling performance, great show of character and could bode well in our search for promotion. Great performance from KD and SDR when he came on. Worried about the lack of protection for the defense. Window Cleaner, I can appreciate your point about the 'injury' to Fonte limiting NA's options, but we had no control of the match up to half time and were as bad after. I feel putting on Morgan early would have been bold given being left with only two subs but was vitally important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 De Ridder was our get out of jail free card today, Reading wanted the game more than us and deserved the win I felt. Fair play to De Ridder though, looked ****ing class when he came on. I was tearing my hair out watching Guly, how many times did he give the ball away? Lambert not in the game at all either. But you can put that down to us being poor generally in the final third. A good point at away at Reading, go again against Boro next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 We missed Lallana and also our own players may b e picking up little knocks. Be nteresting to see who is available ie lallana and how is Barnyard doing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 Possibly the worst i have seen us play under Adkins but good teams get results when they don't play well and we did that today. I really hope he cuts out the hoof ball because for the most if it we just punted it up to Rickie. De Ridder saved our ass. Think he deserves to start. A good point but have to say we were very lucky. Also Guly needs to be dropped now. He isn't doing well out on the wing at all imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 Was it Guly's **** poor pass that led to Hammond getting sent off ? I believe it was. I get the impression that Guly is a bit of a home player to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
