Few points:

Parkin was built like a brick sh!thouse and we can't cope with that.
Should've been a yellow for the block on Fed's kick.
Subs were strange: why take off Kebe and Doyle?
Harper yet again anonymous.
S. Hunt frustrating.
Lita needs more composure, rather than just smashing and hoping.
Should've had a penalty for the hand-ball from Kebe's shot from a yard.

Most worrying:

WE haven't scored a goal in 4 games.

Memories of last season. The pain. :( :cry:

You couldn't even describe that as a game of FOOTball. It was hoofball, all. the. bloddy. time.

It frustrates the hell out of us supporters. Marek coming on actually showed a bit of class amongst the dross. If you look out at the team, and were not a Reading supporter, you'd also be hard pushed to tell who was the captain. No instruction, no encouragement. We miss Murts for that most of all. We're lucky to still be where we are and lucky that the other teams around us appear to be shite too.

Valued comments. Is that the third or the fourth time you could validly use the phrase out of 31 games?

Again, I can only go by the comments of the PNE commentators. Thought their back line competed heroically against us and they thought PNE were lucky. I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with them but time and time again I hear not just commentators but fans of opposing teams having virtually diametrically opposed opinions to some of our so called fans.

It wasnt great, but we had lots of territory and possession without managing to unlock the defence.

I dont know why Harper refuses to pass forward, run forward or give us anything creativity wise. He has pace, has scored goals, made goals and pinged 40 yard passes before but this season he has been shite and has to be dropped.

Give Marek a chance next game and have Jay Tabb on the bench instead of Long.

NOT true.

Prior to today Birmingham had 16 games to catch us and pass us.

Now they only have 15, so they are fractionally worse off.

And we gained a point on Wolves


IMO things are looking ROSY

Would those be the ones that suffer at the ground rather than the ones who follow every thrill and spill of six hours without one of our players looking like scoring from the armchair?

Here we go again - those of us that cannot get to games can't have an opinion.

By the way, didn't Kebe look like scoring when the ball was handled - or was he clearing it.

should of been 3 gained, THAT is taking advantage.

and to be fair brum are 2 points behind so can actually catch and pass us with 1 game let alone 15, by winning today we would have stopped that being possible, so i have to say we failed to take advantage.

WHY? Exactly? He had two chances (one offside) and blasted them both straight at the keeper

Interesting then that our odds have shortened and we are now joint favourites to win ths league

Of course a win would have been nice. Frankly I thought Preston were going to nick it, bad as they were.
