paultheroyal By all accounts this would of been the worst 4/5 nil victory in living memory!



Unless you watched the game you wouldn't appreciate how bad Bolton were . Reading had 75% possession against a team who couldn't string more than 3 passes together. Not that we could either for the majority of the game in an area where we could inflict damage. That's the cause of discontent.

LWJ Will95 I read your review on Twitter and can't believe you and I watched the same game.

If we had scored 1 or 2 of the chances we created you wouldn't be saying how bad it was.

The fact we created these chances is a good thing. Amos made some good saves, we hit the post twice, we had two cleared off the line and missed a penalty.

How bad was it, really?

I know Bolton had 10 men, but they didn't trouble us when they had 11 and we had still created 2 or 3 chances before the sending off anyway.

Gunter and Obita need to work on their crossing, Vydra needs to work on his confidence, John needs to work on being more consistent and finally Williams and Norwood quite simply need to work together.


Some sense at last.

By all accounts this would of been the worst 4/5 nil victory in living memory!


I'll be honest, it was overly negative for how the game actually was, our midfield and Yan all did well, they held the ball up well, moved with it well and made some good short passes, but when 4 out of every 5 crosses are absolute shit and our strike force are absolute bollocks it doesn't mean much.

I think it's more based off of watching 40 odd games this season so far and seeing a side who have so much potential be failing so miserably, including struggling past the shittest team in the league when they have 10 men, that has caused my feelings of discontent. I don't feel like looking for positives when players like Vydra, who I know CAN be good are so oxf*rd shit.

Also, shame I don't know what you look like, could have had my first non-Bobby/BF hobnob spotted since you were obviously in the group behind me LWJ :cry:

I feel for the team. We lose, it's a disaster. We draw, it's disappointing. We win, oh well we were shit anyway.

Hehe well put.

The scary thing is it's sort of true though. With our squad and expectations losing is a disaster, a draw is disappointing and a win against a 10 man relegation team thanks to a last minute wonder solo effort doesn't cover up shitness.

Having said that I didn't watch the game I just saw the highlights. The highlights looked like we slaughtered them and we unlucky not to be 5-0 up.

that's how the whole game came across on the radio too.
which is why it was so odd to hear the negative over reaction throughout the commentary and after the game

Sadly, I don't think it was odd at all given the rabid sense of entitlement Dellor and his fanboys seems to have.
