You guys are stupid.

Defensive error stats..

"Reading’s Adam Federici takes the wooden spoon here committing an error that leads to conceding a goal every 337.5 minutes – the equivalent of conceding a goal by mistake every 3.75 games which is basically conceding 10 goals a season just because of your own mistake. If Reading are relegated – statistics like these will point to 10 goals conceded because of silly errors and those ten goals can be the difference of ten points or more."

[Snowball]

Trying to remember Federici's errors, but weren't most of them very early on in the season
when, clearly, he was injured/off-form/getting used to the new ball?

It would be interesting to see WHICH errors constitute the six errors mentioned.

I can only think of these possibles

Stoke
Chelsea, Cahill Goal.
Chelsea's 4th Goal?

Wigan Away?

Man Utd's First Goal?
Man Utd slip-up (not a goal)

WBA's second?

Those stats are clearly rubbish. They have none of our other players committing four defensive errors. If we haven't conceded four shots because of Gorkss then I would be very surprised. It's 50-50 in my head whether we've conceded four goals because of him.

You guys are stupid.

I'm sorry, okay? I'm just having a hard time right at work right now and I dunno, we seem to be drifting apart and it scares me. I do love you, but I worry that is not enough.

Routine bites hard and ambitions are low. Resentment rides high but emotions won’t grow. We are changing our ways, taking different roads.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

People were slating Federici under the Rodgers era, he cost us a lot of points then.

People have been slating Federici under the McDermott era, he has cost us a lot of points.

Has Federici improved as a keeper over this period, or has the back four in front of him improved instead? I'd say the latter.

[urz13]

He's one of the best keepers at one-on-ones I've ever seen. I reckon hes saved us more points by making saves very few keepers would make than he's cost us becuase of errors.

Not sure how he's cost us 6 this season either:
2pts vs Stoke
1pt vs Chelsea
1pt vs Man United

[Millsy]

Em... I think we're all forgetting that Lukaku is FANTASTIC. And that was a FANTASTIC strike.

Feds was positioning himself rest for the cross and was wrongfooted. That happens against amazing strikers. No biggie.

Yes hindsight is a great thing but I think we'd all be complaining if he went closer to his left post and out a bit only for Lukaku to cross it for the other man to put it into free goal.

Unfortunately Feds can't predict the future.

I'm a bit disappointed that kebe didn't help him though in that regard. But we all know he does what he wants.

[SCIAG]

Remind me which player kept us in it in the first half?

(Hint: it wasn't Stuart Taylor)

[urzmikep]

CAN WE END THIS THREAD NOW.......we have 2 equally good and world class goalkeepers. Feds kept us in the game today and IMO was definate MOM

[SCIAG]

World class? Steady on.

[RoyalBlue]

The Tilehurst End view:

Adam Federici was the hero of the first half as he denied Papiss Cisse in world class fashion on three separate occasions, but Yohan Cabaye's measured free-kick gave the Magpies a half-time lead.

[Ian Royal]

Absolutely stonking game today. Without him, we'd have possibly been looking at whooping.

[ManchesterRoyals]

Absolutely stonking game today. Without him, we'd have possibly been looking at whooping.

Agree

Give credit when credits due had a stormer today

[westongeezer]

His price just went up again, showing real class now

[peterroyal76]

fantastic performance today!

[MouldyRoyal]

As one of the fans who thought Feds should be dropped earlier on in the season, I am delighted to see him back on form. Has been for the last 5/6 games or so.

[The Beardy Man]

Absolutely stonking game today. Without him, we'd have possibly been looking at whooping.

agreed kept us in the game first half

[Brain Traysers]

Great game for Feds today. More than happy for him to play like that and us nick it by a goal and then have the occasional booboo in a game when we score a few more.

[PistolPete]

Yep, you're right, let's use a league 2 keeper as an example of how Federici could be better

..and the league 2 keeper seems to be better than feds.

My god, the guy with seal clubbing as an avatar, I just have to remind he board of what a fool you are. Federici worse than a league two keeper eh? Positioning poor?

Idiot.
