Wycombe Royalleww_rfc Reading win 3-2 in stoppage time and fans still moan
How often do I moan? I am pleased that we are winning matches and picking up points late in games but it is masking over the fact that in the first 70 minutes of matches we have a terrible record (I think we have only scored 5 or 6 goals prior to the 70 minute mark).
So yes it is great that we finish matches strongly but we need to address the issue of getting in front in the first place. It is what is stopping us being a top 6 side.
So apologies if some of you don't like a negative post after a win but just imagine what it would have been like on hereif we had lost yesterday. We would have 2 points outside relegation. Just a bit of persepctive that's all.
I don't agree that it's the first 70 minutes of games we're poor in. We're just so intent on defence and keepiong a clean sheet that we never open up and play with urgency (as well as take a few risks) until we're behing and have to chase game. When scores are level we're too tentative - when we're chasing a game or playing in the last 10 minutes we're at our best.
