MATCHWATCH : Kidderminster Harriers (a)

[Snowflake Royal]

stands for Iam Right

Who was it who didn't think Pauno would be a good appointment?

How is everyone feeling about him now?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Not if the hands fall off.

This one still has the hands. And they're not moving.

In case any Kidderminster fans come looking here, in amongst all the angst...

Well played. Better team won. You know how to play football and try to win games. Thoroughly deserved. Good luck, hope you can do an actual giant killing, not just pull the life support from a corpulant husk, next time out.

Brutal that that last sentence. But facts are facts.

Ratings for the LOLs

Rafael - 3 wasn’t hugely impressed by that save, it was good, not cream worthy though. Then an absolute howler followed by being weak as piss. And back to worse pissing about at the back than normal.
Tetek - 6 ok enough, I guess
Bristow - 5 not great
Holmes - 5 not great
Holzman - 4 looked nervy and out of his depth (sorry)
Drinkwater - 5 had us sort of playing a bit, but wasn't good
Osorio - 5 looked unsurprisingly lightweight and didn’t really achieve anything other than being busy
Camara - 5 was at least trying to make things happen, but didn’t and played quite stupid
Halilovic - 4 some busy running but expect far greater quality
Puscas - 4 goal, but other than that I thought he was dreadful

Azeez - 5 bit of pace but not that involved.
Araruna -
Rinomhota - 6 showed a bit of aggression I guess? Leeway for first game back
Laurent - 6 ok I guess
Stickland - dunno... ok?

Anybody else utterly depressed and fed up with the state of the club? I used to sing 'Reading 'til I die' but I feel like we've lost our soul over the past decade. I used to proudly declare my allegiance whereas now I largely stay quiet about it.

I guess attendances show it's not just me

We've been a shambles for a decade. If you've not got utterly depressed by it there's something wrong with you.

Nope.

Still Reading Till I die.

Don't give a fvck what's happening, we'll bounce back and even if we don't, it's my Reading.

Chin up.

Paunovic deserves a bloody good shoeing.

Those ratings are all extremely generous.

Obvs no excuse whatsoever but wtf was their second goal? How did that get allowed?

I er foul, but he mainly stood his ground / attempted to go play the ball. You see plenty of jostling of keepers not given and mostly what is, is worse.

You've got to be very bad to get below a 5 for me, and 3s, 2s and 1s are mostly reserved for hyperbole.

I don't think any of the young players deserve to be panned.

One guy shoves Puscas in the back as he jumps and the other barrels into the keeper knocking him flying?

Anyway no doubts they’d have scored anyway

shouldn't have been allowed
Even the commentator said 9 times out of 10 that's a free kick

[CountryRoyal]

I agree - it’s not an excuse, rhe but officials did everything in their power to get Kidderminster through. Consistently blew us for tiny things and gave them everything. High boots for us, not to them… etc, it went on all game.

Even when play was stopped when we were attacking because their was a flair on the pitch, it was on it for several Kidderminster attacks.

[CountryRoyal]

LOL the BBC highlights don’t even show our goal

[Hound]

Yep Puscas scored for the first time for a thousand days and the poor git doesn’t even have it shown

I wasn't, but I am now. Rafael has surely played his last game? We should have just fielded a strong team and won and built the confidence.

Hindsight etc.
