Reading deserve it. Soaked up a lot of pressure and took their chance. We had a few half chances and one really good one and didn't score. Not over yet, but need a response now SH.
We’ve been totally dominant. They scored from a scuffed shot that luckily goes straight to their man who hits a poor shot and deflects in.
Really? Could have had about 4 that half. Garner hits bar, Cathcart a whisker away from the header, Pedro hauled down running in to the area and nothing given.....
First time we play a side with a bit of ability and we are found wanting. Can't see us scoring in the second half.
Goal against run of play. Come out fast get an early goal and hopefully turn this around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
We actually played fairly well but need to create more and get Sarr/Pedro involved more. Defence was sloppy for the goal.
Played some bright stuff, although it's that final ball and finish that's lacking. Pedro hardly got into the game first half
Reading have 3 first teamers out today. We are not going to score. Is this the beginning of a downward slide?
Just appalling today. They all look frustrated, too many passes over hit or under hit, nothing coming off, Readings CB cloggers have Pedro and Sarr in their pockets all game, Pedro coming way too deep, Sarr over playing everything, Chalobah too slow, the whole side outworked by Reading. It's all so toothless in the final 3rd. Sorry to say but we need Deeney back.
Lacking a proper #9 aren’t we. It’s early days yet but Ivic really has to focus on our lack of creativity. 2 goals scored in 4 games is pretty woeful.
Complete and utter s**t against a weakened Reading side. No creativity, horrible football, slow, ponderous, Sarr completely wasted up front to be shoehorned into this 3-5-2 crap. 2 goals in 4 league games and already 5 points off the top. This squad is nowhere near good enough. Hopefully we can sell a few more players, though.
They looked much more dangerous in attack and defended well with ease really. No pace or creative play for us. Dominated Sarr/Pedro and midfield was ineffective.
Yeah just didn't really happen but so difficult to move when there's 8-9 players packing the defence. Should have been 0-0. Reading didn't deserve 3 points in any universe.
Very poor. I’ll continue to question Ivic’s blind faith in 3-5-2. We look bloody awful, with no real threat up front and overplaying everything. Big fortnight for the head coach now trying to get this lot drilled and knowing what they need to do. Their goal was annoying but then we scored that way last week so no arguments.
Utter crap. 45m worth of attacking talent played out of position in a poor system. Behind for 50 minutes but barely created a shot on target in that time. Utterly toothless. Midfield and attack not fit for purpose. Ivic is on borrowed time.
We looked pretty blunt in the last 3 games if we're honest. I thought this was perhaps our best performance this season, but absolutely nothing up top right now.
Rubbish that. Did nothing that 2nd half and it looked like we never recovered from TDB going off. Pedro and Sarr had stinkers but the service was woefully lacking. Need to try something different to get those goals flowing
Poor performance again, in my opinion we haven't looked that great all season luckily we have had a few results to paperover the poor performances, the system don't suit us we have no creativity and do not look like scoring. We have the most dangerous winger in the league by a country mile but we are wasting him.
That was complete rubbish. We can beat Reading who have 3 main player's missing today. It is not looking good for the rest of the season. A struggle to remain in the top half is the best we can hope for. The first game against a side in form and we looked piss poor. Very disappointing indeed.
