DiddyroyalRoyal Rother [size=150]On 15th October[/size] Bloody frustrated at home internet connection being chewed through by new cat yesterday when I wanted to vent my spleen last night, but as I can see that almost all my feelings about yesterday have already been covered, so I'll just go to the one subject on my mind that hasn't.
On another day for the club that showed many very positive attributes I'm afraid it is a negative one, but what the hell eh?
Having seen most of Reading's games this season I am now frustrated and bored of watching Lita. I actually think he works very hard, and is very strong for a small bloke, but if you analyse his performances they are identical every game.
He never looks like keeping possession for any more than a split second, he never looks like getting into a position where he can score, he makes some great leaps and wins headers he has no right to, but that's always in the middle of the park, he just is there, on the pitch, running about a lot, and that's all. Long causes far more problems for the defenders when he comes on.
At the start of the season I thought Lita was one who would do well in The Premiership and thought he would end up being the preferred partner for Doyle, and I still felt that last month, but now I've changed my mind, which doesn't happen very often. Premiership defenders ALL put him in their pocket and keep him there. Doyle is finding it hard as well, but always seems to create a chance or two no matter who he is up against.
I can't wait for Kitson to get back. All he needs is his fitness and he'll be in the team.
In the meantime, we have nothing to lose by starting a game with Long as he can't be less effective than Lita.
Am I being unfair?

Whilst I don't agree word for word with what RR wrote back then, he painted a fairly accurate picture of how Leroy was playing at the time. This is supported by the player being dropped and his poor convertion rate in the first few months of the season.
Now, Leroy has become the team player most of us wanted him to be and surprise, surprise!!! he is on fire and scoring for fun................................perhaps you and others should hang your heads in shame for being too thick to grasp this less than subtle point

Sorry MR "Reading FC Sport Scientist" I didn't realise you were in any sort of position to judge/analyse the lads performance... And as you are most likely not a sport scientist or have ever worked in that field I don't feel you can pass comment on his playing style!!!
If he never gets himself into a position to score, please can you explain to me why he has scored 6 league goals and 6 cup goals this season so far and is currently on 9 goals in 9 games.....
Also how can you sit there and say he wins headers he has "no right to win" (your words not mine) every air ball should be seen as a 50/50 ball otherwise you would play with no pation or heart and very rarely win the ball from the air. And lets be honest for someone who is 5'7" he is a pretty springy lad. It doesn't matter where he wins the ball they are a unit of 11 and they work together which means if he has dropped into the middle of the park to win a ball then he should have an outlet just as sidwell, harps etc... would expect him to be theres.
As for Long causing more problems for defenders!!!! What football are you watching??? Lets be honest niether of them are our first choice strikers but with Kitson having been out injured since the first game of the season and Doyle now being injured and Mr Coppell being very reluctant to play Seol up front actually lets be honest play Seol at all we don't have many other options for out-right strikers....
So to answer your question of are you being unfair - as you may have guessed I would say yes you are....

Were both goals one touch? From the vid he looks as if he didn't take a touch with either before slotting them both away beautifully.
