BFG Leeds away

[AthleticoSpizz]

Only one goal away in five games! Is it tactics, we score easily at home!

A goal difference of ZERO suggests to me we won't get promotion this season.

We are 5 points off top at almost the quarter point with our team nowhere near full strength and a mid season transfer window for us all to get excited (and then probably annoyed) about.

You can absolutely not write us off. Not yet at least.

That said, we've shown no sign that a strong winning run is around the corner and I expect mid table but right now the fat lady is firmly sat, feet up eating a pizza with coke, belching the national anthem

Three very big penalty shouts last night, the 1st and 3rd was as stone wall as it gets

How many fans turned up, seems like we only took 1!!!

Sounded low, around the 300 figure, why the football league can't organise more local trips for a midweek game I'll never know.

Would have thought we'd have a bit more representation on the forum though!

There was 302 Reading fans at Elland Road

Funny how different people see things:

1st looks like contact made just outside the box - clear foul though
2nd looks a pen to me
3rd looks softer than a Mr Whippy in the sun.

Agree with Ian on the first, looks outside the area.

The angles are a bit crap really. The first two are pretty far away and the images are low quality. The third is better, but another defender gets in the way at the crucial time, so it's impossible to tell what happened.

Third looks to me like Blackman runs out of space and gets a wee bit of contact on the back of his leg after the ball is possibly toed away slightly. But in such a way that a referee is really going to struggle to see it. And with a theatrical dive.

Great effort, well done Reading

Don't think we're real that far away from a full strength team now following the additions in August. McCleary definitely and then probably one of Williams and Karacan to partner Norwood. Maybe HRK pushing for a place if he's back to his Premier League form challenging Blackman and Cox for a place?. Will Ferdinand replace either Pearce or. Hector? Probably not.

BBC Berks reckoned a stonewall penalty for the first(?) call and if not Taylor should have been booked for diving.

The others they thought soft and unlikely to be given at any level.

The others were pretty soft, at most would probably make you stumble, probably not even that. The players made it worse as the way they went down made it look like dives.

The 2nd, unless Taylor's been on a sun bed since the final whistle on Sunday. The angle's not great on that one but I'd agree.

The 1st I guess was Akpan who seems to run straight into the defender, although his right leg was out.

The last one would've been soft but seen them given
