What I feared, same shit different season, all summer to get forward line sorted, still no threat up front

[Ian Royal]

You'd think the Radio Berks boys would want to see a bit more than 45 minutes before they decide that nothing's changed from last season.

I mean I'm no big fan of Clarke, but this writing off our ability to score so soon and with such a makeshift attack is just bonkers. It may well be right... but any chance we could wait three or four games to make a mildly informed opinion before complaining about it again.

Gooding and Dellor summary of the starting debutants

Bond - good, no chance with the goal
McShane - good and will get goals at set pieces
Tshibola - ok
Quinn - good
Sa - good but more a link up striker than a goalscorer

your no 1 reading fan

Cheers Dave.

Maybe we could wait until our attacking players are fit before we start crying

[marlowuk]

We're in the relegation zone!!

Dear god, I sometimes wonder why some people get up in the morning?

So I can practice putting my tongue in my cheek!

[Ian Royal]

We don't want to win anyway. We've never gained promotion from the Championship having won our opening game.

[akranes]

oxf*rd!!

It suddenly feels like last season again.

[Ian Royal]

Whoops. Hector not having the best game. Trod on the ball and lost it.

[Royal Ginger]

We want 6, we want 6, we want 6.

Jesus christ.

Conceding goals either side of Half time is a big old whoopsie. Concentration chaps.

[Royal Ginger]

YOU'RE a big old whoopsie...do we still do that?

What a load of shit

Well at least it's a bit of an improvement on the shambolic score up there last season so we're moving in the right direction.

After the summer though I would have expected some improvement as an attacking threat but we're still in the same boat of bugger all creativity and even less shots on target.

Perhaps this Hurtado and Alex will help out on that front but I won't hold my breath. Desperately, desperately need an out and out goalscorer

I'm expecting us to be fairly dross for Aug/Sep. It's the Reading way isn't it?

From what i've read about Sa he is an out and out striker. Criticisms of him were that he doesn't have much else about his game.

[Ian Royal]

Having a wide player would be a good place to start.

That's the Team Board for you Leon.

Atleast the new owners will be thinking money well spent
