Is anyone else having problems watching on the os? 

Yep, worth a fiver!

[The Kraken]

Nice, got it on my IPTV. Missed the goal though!

Kit looks good.

[coalman]

Football!

[Saint Matty 76]

Great goal.

Livramento to Tella to JWP.

 

[Smirking_Saint]

Well… looks like we’re comfortably getting promoted then

Working perfectly. I can see how awful a Selles team set up really is 😉 2-0 8 minutes 95% possession. Interesting possibilities..

[Smirking_Saint]

Interesting that he’s playing Arma through the middle, he likes him as a striker apparently so be interesting to see the evolution there

[The Kraken]

Reading look very brittle.

Did you have to resign in for it to work?

[SambaMaverick]

Not sure how much of a test Reading will be tbh, they look very awful

[Master Bates]

Gonna win 12 0 innit bruv, innit innit innit, gonna win 12 0 bruv

Clubs an absolute mess tbf, 70m in debt, transfer embargo etc

[Saint86]

Armstrong with a couple of attempted leg breaker passes so far, mara as well. Smallbone's got some nice vision on him.

[Smirking_Saint]

Smallbone looks like he’s playing in the 6 today but its very fluid

[Yorkshire Saint]

Nope

[gammon cheeks]

Smallbone best player on the pitch so far

[The Kraken]

Interesting lineup really. If Tino is definitely off you’d maybe think Martin would be trying out what he thinks will be his first team, and therefore start off with Bree or KWP there. As it stands, we’ve started with quite a few players who I thought would likely be out of the club by the start of the season. Also thought Manning might get a good run out being as he hasn’t featured yet.

Typical, it's not doing anything for me. Anyway you can help?

[Saint Matty 76]

Mara been poor on the left, the only slight negative so far.

Fun to watch us dominate a game, been a while.

Bednarek down injured.

[Sussex_saint]

These chants picking up on the mikes are hilarious 😂😂

[Smirking_Saint]

Bednarek going down injured is a tad worrying

Carrying on

[skintsaint]

Sexy chat while watching footie!! 

[Smirking_Saint]

In games where we are under little pressure Smallbone looks excellent, he really is great on the ball, his passing and vision is excellent 

[The Kraken]

According to Adam Blackmore, Bednarek was our most consistent player after the January window. I mean I suppose it’s true, he was consistently mediocre.

[Saint Matty 76]

2-1. Hasn't been a while since I saw us cut open as easy as that!

[skintsaint]

Selles working his magic during this break.

"Sit back lads - will take a 2-0 loss"

[The Kraken]

Terrible goal to give away.

[Smirking_Saint]

Edit - Absolutely didn’t happen 😂

Backfired well!

[Bad Wolf]

Ah great, 2-1. Was starting to get a bit worried that there may not be anything to whinge about.

I mean.. he was comfortably our best CB post Jan

And Selles as manager

[Crab Lungs]

Did I hear Adam Blackmore say Guiness Walker Peters or something like that 😳😂

[goodymatt]

Smallbone is well suited to possession football, good vision and moves the ball quickly. As I said during Goztepe, lad looks stronger now too.

Edited 22 July, 2023 by goodymatt

[Sussex_saint]

Walker Peters looks good too. No way he's staying this year

[The Kraken]

Wonder why Reading don’t have numbers in their shirts. Cost saving maybe?? Seems weird to not at least have a traditional 1-11 if squad numbers aren’t allocated yet.

[Saint Matty 76]

Tella nearly with a brilliant goal.

AA is looking decent at linking the play up as well, which is surprising to me.

[The Kraken]

He needs to sort his hair out, I keep thinking he’s Djenepo.

[Crab Lungs]

We look dominant.

[Smirking_Saint]

Interesting that for a team that looks like it wants to maintain possession it looks like RM is happy for the wingers to take on their opposition FB and we’re having a fee long shots

Its nice to see, nome of us want possession for possessions sake

Think Reading must have a defender called Guinness Walker.

[Crab Lungs]

I’m sure he just said Guiness Walker again. 😳

 

ahhhhh, he’s a Reading player. I should look up at the tv more.

[Crab Lungs]

Goddamn. We look like we know what we’re doing.

You e just answered my question. I thought it was Moussa

[SambaMaverick]

I like the look of Smallbone tbf. He's always wanting the ball and that's obviously going to be important under RM.

[coalman]

We look like a football team. What sorcery is this?

[Saint Matty 76]

Smallbone looks a perfect fit for this system, for all the odd comments completely writing him off before kick off.

This comes from a fanbase who heckled Mane, Pelle and Tadic so don’t take too much notice 

[Smirking_Saint]

Arma has been sloppy in possession a few times now
