genome Yeah from my vantage point at the top it looked a definite penalty to me, though you may have been closer.
I thought regardless of the result, it was an enjoyable away day.
Sutekh Kermorgant doesn't fit with the style of play properly. He is too isolated at times and there is rarely anyone to pick up flick ons. Think it's the one position where we should push the boat out money wise and get someone with pace and power that could perhaps makes the forward line look like more of a unit than a disjointed mish-mash that is too slow to get forward together.
Focher A rare team board post.
That was utter horse shit last night, before we hit the post in the first half we didn't have 1 chance, defensively we were a shambles, midfield creativity was non existent. Yes we hit the post twice but apart from that Bentley had 1 simple save to make the whole game from memory from Beerens in the whole game. You can spray it around the back as much as you like but it all flattered to deceive. George Evans was a total waste of space, Van Den Berg looked like he was totally out of control from the 1st minute, Moore is a nice player but cant defend that well, the only player who I thought was half decent was Obita, and that's saying something. Kermogant a nice player in the wrong system, Beerens marked out the game, Al Habsi didn't do much wrong apart from dice with death about 5 times, probably because hes been told to do that. Gunter was just Gunter, average, Harriot looked like he had promise, would stick with him in the team. McShane is a basic defender who thrives off basic football, im not sure this style is for him.
In summary im not quite sure how we went 8 unbeaten, totally uninspiring, boring, Brentford were far superior in system, speed, movement, and creativity. I certainly cant fault Reading's effort which is why I walked away without too much criticism. Some of the fans were creaming themselves about some of our passing in our own half in the 1st half, if that whats they want then fair enough but I wont be going again for a while, it was a total bore to watch.
bobby1413 Standing in the terrace behind the goal it was frustrating seeing a ball whipped in for Kermi to rise and meet it, only to head it straight across goal and not even on target.

Is this Brentford's last season at Griffin Park?
I'm already looking forward to next season's game. I found a great parking space and good pub just 10 minutes walk away.
Lower West Brentford played a formation to nullify us. Concern must be that we are becoming too predictable to play against.

Kermorgant could have had a hat trick last night. There was the chance when Gunter whipped in a lovely cross and put it on a plate for him. All he had to do was head it in and he headed it back across goal. His intention was to score, his execution was poor.
Then he was played in towards the end of the game, only had the keeper to beat and his effort was awful. At least he took a good penalty.
In this system of play we need a Drogba style striker. Big, powerful and deadly. I don't know who the contenders are though for that role who we can actually afford.

I was stood there, I thought he managed to get it on target but the defender chested it out of the way.
genome Thought it was quite funny when the Brentford fans sung "You're Reading FC, you're on your way back" when we started leaving early
bobby1413 What are the words to it, I know:
Jaap Stam had a dream
To build a football team
But we had no players so went and signed them for freeeeeeeeeeeeeee
??????????????? (I thought it was "We built from the back" but it didn't sound like that when I heard it last night)
With rakells in attack
We're Reading FC, we're on our way back
