I think the most important thing to say about this game is: BROFListoLOL City. They should have been 4 or 5 up before McAnuff scored and then they totally folded, it wasn't as if it was fantastic Reading play which put them under pressure, our three goals all looked to be very soft ones.
Reading were absolute dogsh*t for the first 70 minutes and should have been dead and buried. Federici by far and away our MOTM; I said earlier this week that he makes the easy look difficult, conversely he also makes the difficult look easy at times and he pulled off some excellent saves when we were being pulled apart with ease at 2-0. Reading were a disgrace defensively: Pearce and Cummings gave away a quite pathetic 2nd Bristol goal, Mills is even worse than his brother and I can't see the fuss about Gorkss thus far (that said, playin alongside Pearce can hardly help - flat-footed, ponderous liability this season. Drop him). We had precious little creativity other than lumping the ball into the corners, which makes the decision to play with one recognised winger last night even more ridiculous. There was far, far more to be concerned about than pleased about last night. Defend like that against Boro and we'll lose 5 or 6-0.
Additonal:
- The Le Fondre chant is catchy enough with added bonus of gay hand movements which will please our gimp fanbase.
- Is that the first league away game we have come from 2 goals down to win since Darlington in 1991/92, Strap?
