Did Sir Steve Get It Wrong Tonight?

Chaney
The 17 Bus Bikey was good later, but going forward rather than defending, and another yellow, time to move him on, maybe he has learned from his time here.

Bikey is 22, a good prospect, no way should we move him on, bet you said the same about Sonko when he first came here, he makes some wonderful tackles, yes he as a few rough edges but they can be ironed out

Nope Iliked what I saw in Sonko from day one, I thought he would make it, but for me Bikey is too clumsy and indisciplined, can't afford to lose plyers through suspension INHO..

Row Z Royal Oyster was MOTM2 behind Boris. Oyster was absolutely on FIRE tonight.

The best game I've seen Oster have. He kept driving us on - not only was he skilful he was professional as well.

Row Z Royal Oyster was MOTM2 behind Boris. Oyster was absolutely on FIRE tonight.

With Oster's final ball he could well have played himself in ahead of Hunt tonight.

But Hunt would have to have an injury or an absolute shocker for Coppell to change the side.

Oster on the left - Little on the right - sounds good to me.

Lita and Kitson up front sat,

we can take Arsenal!

Keep Hunt on for first half, if it's not going our way bring on Oster for 2nd half, or try it other way around of course

Absolute joke some of our so called fans are demanding we sell Seol. The man isn't even playing in his best position, he's done an excellent job for us this season and yes, didn't have a good game tonight but with the opposition we faced and there strength in depth compared to ours, what do you expect??????????

I didn't think he got the tactics wrong, just a bit of bad luck against one of the best teams in the world.

Sticking in main to the fringe players will, in the end, benefit the whole team far more than casting them aside.

100% thats all I ever expect from a Reading player, yet to see that from him

Sorry, what is his best position?

He's played rubbish at right wing. Rubbish up front and Rubbish on the left so far.

He has technical ability but he lacks drive and it's oxf*rd annoying.

RG30 what do you expect??????????

I'd expect him to at least once during the match make MU look ordinary - just like Oster, Little and Gunnarsson did.

Wow shall we start this thread for every manager who loses on Saturday and beyond

Seol has gotten lazy since we played up up front as a striker, he expects everything to be given to him...

RG30 · by **RG30** » 27 Feb 2007 23:18

Knee jerk reaction as per usual. His best position is on the right wing, he's proved that for us in the past. Doesn't surprise me our fans are now looking for the new boo-boy target.

No - just for those that play strange formations ... HTH

Seol was dogshit tonight. Let's not beat around the bush. I'm not making any wider demans regarding his future, but he really needs to buckle down like Lita has.

As others have said, Steve waited too long to change things when it was obvious Doyle and Seol weren't going to influence the game. Little was awesome yet again. I know he's my love player, but he absolutely destroyed Heinze after he came on - I was particularly loving the nutmeg.

Overall - kamikaze defending in the first half, battered them in the second.

catzbod seol and hopfully oster.

Amen, can't believe people on here waxing lyrical about Oster - you must be having a laugh, he gave the ball away evrytime he got it. I sometimes wonder if I've been watching the same game as others when I read some reports on here. He was shoite at OT, even worse tonight.

Great comeback, all credit to the players on the park, you always get the feeling we are capapble of doing such a come back. If Boris' shot woul have gone in there woul have been no wrok for me tomorrow as my head would have fallen off. Fair play reading, we made a game of it.

What I was personaly fuming about was this was the FA cup, United were there for the taking. We take an early blow but put them onto the back foot and go into half time 3-1 down. It was obvious Seol was playing shite and Doyle was not fit, why the fu(k didnt we put Little and Lita on for Seol and Doyle at half time!? We saw how they changed the match it was just a little too late. It was like Coppell had the mentality, we'll try and get as many minutes as possible in for doyle and Seol because they need match fitness, as if he doesnt give a toss about the game which we could have fu(king won. United were there for the taking, and I am bloody annoyed about it.

I think news of the Middlesborough goal must of got to the team and knowing their record of penalty shootouts, nobody fancied another 5 hr coach trip to that shithole again.

I agree about the comeback but Oster was great tonight. He gave the ball away a bit but until Little came on there was no-one creating tonight apart from him. Little was just sublime...

Right,

Anyone who thought Oster was shit is blind.

Bikey looked lost when it was 532 as did the rest of the team. Once we changed to 442 he was immense and hardly put a foot wrong. When he won the ball he was always looking for the right pass and found it more often than not. For 80mins he was superb and should be signed now. The bloke is 22 and will only get better.

Compared to Sonko at the same time in his Reading career - Bikey is a million miles better.

Little should have been on earlier.

For me, if Kusczak (sp?) played we'd be sat here now celebrating a win.
