BFTG Wolves

by genome » 06 Feb 2016 17:19

Fairly even... but Wolves had the better chances. I still can't believe how they didn't score early in the first half after a dodgy backwards header from McShane, who made up for it later with a superb late block.

We rarely looked threatening and were far too pedestrian in the final third. Rakels looked lively when he came on.

EmbarrassIng booing and seat rattling at the end.

BFTG - Wolves (H)

by royalp-we » 06 Feb 2016 17:23

Drab football from Reading. Ikeme had such an easy day.

We need to improve massively to get anything when playing opposition 'at our level'. We need to be a bit more 'orrible to the opposition. Brian playing down any passion is not going to help our toothless bunch.

A nice run of home games to look forward to. Unfortunately I think Rotherham at home might see our first PANTS DAY for over a decade.

Only positives - Rakels looked a battler. Ola John is a tryer - much like a Stephen Hunt of old.

Dellor just wrapped it up by saying look down the squad list. Who can you honestly say has had a really good season?

Take the point.
Bit shit.

Norwood and vydra poor.
Lacking General effort and umph

Liked rakels when he came on
Yann won a few headers up front
Didnt concede.

Pretty much agree with genome, especially the pathetic booing, we gonna boo every game we don't win now?

It seems there's almost something there but we make too many mistakes on the final ball

Our strikers are sh*t, our wingers can't cross for toffee and our midfielder couldn't pass wind. The transfer window has gone and we are stuck with this pile of dung till the end of the season.

Two toothless teams, Readind attack scared to try anything much.

HRK 8
Obita and Habsi 7's
6's the rest

Not sure what Rakels was (not) doing with Johns' cross into the box.

Ref not very good

Boring, turgid, windy and cold.

Ref - worst this season. Seemed to go from giving everything under the sun to ignoring everything.

McCleary looked totally out of it - was he injured or just unfit still?
Cooper was a liability today.

MOTM? - no idea.

Expecting much from the Latvian Throatslitter.

Was it Gunter who decided to kick the ball across our own box after we'd only just got away with the mix up between Mcshane and Al Habsi?

No, Gunter headed it past Al Habsi. McCleary then put in his one and only decent cross of the match when attempting to clear it :D

Defence played pretty well.
No link between midfield and attack.
Williams good going forward but pretty awful on anything else.
Kanu usual disappointment
Kermogant looks to be a pretty average buy
Vydra back to his worst
Rassels looks promising

Both midfield and attack need refreshing

Hector defensive midfielder
Quinn ball winner
Norwood push forward behind Rassels

Vydra's sole plan today seemed to be to dink the ball back to the person who passed to him. Regardless of what was around him and regardless of whether that player was still there. Very annoying

That was a struggle to watch and the weather was nasty, so happy to take that point.

Our new psycho looked decent enough

HRK is MILES better on the right. He needs to stay there

Is this a joke post? HRK scores an 8? You know that it's out of 10, right? You think Vydra, Gunter and Norwood deserved a 6? I love Norwood but he was garbage today. Vydra was utterly hopeless, giving the ball away time and time again and you choose to single out something Rakels did? If every player scored 6 or above, I can't imagine what a poor performance looks like.

Utterly turgid rubbish made worse by a poor referee and dreadfully windy conditions.

We have managed 15 points out of a possible 57 after this game and today just underlined why. No creativity and what little that does come our way is ruined by poor finishing.

Where we are now is where we'll finish give or take a couple of places..

Habsi, Cooper, Williams, Kanu and Norwood good. The rest decidedly average. Rakels looked like he might be useful but we'll no doubt soon knock that out of him.

Roll on summer and another load of changes.

Everyone gets a 0/10, apart from Rakels who gets 10/10 for fear of him tracking me down and cannibalising me to death.

Lol at getting annoyed that someone saw the game differently to you.
Its a problem with modern football ratings. Average should be a 5, but people score an average performance as a 7. But theres no telling em

It just shows how low we and expectations have sunk over the past 18 months when people say that they are happy/prepared to accept a point from a game like that against an exceptionally ordinary, bordering on poor, set of opponents.

Our squad should be performing far, far better than that. Not only are we now suffering from endless poor results but we are also witnessing poor quality and utterly boring football. It is not acceptable and if our owners are content to let it stay that way, then they are clearly only interested in the property development potential of the club.

Average mid table game between two average mid table teams. this season is a write off, enjoy the ride in the FA cup. because after we are out the season will just die a death.

Wasn't involved in it but - nowhere near as embarrassing as the performance on the pitch and in the backrooms & offices of the Mad Stad
