SCIAG Two which haven’t been mentioned:
Reading 5-1 Ipswich under Steve Clarke
Completely dominant performance thanks largely to the midfield trio of Norwood, Tshibola and Stephen Quinn. Three players who were hard working and technically gifted so just swamped the opposition both in and out of possession. Also think this was one of Anton Ferdinand’s only games for us - possibly the best defender we’ve had but also the most injury prone.
Defensively, another West Ham game comes to mind - 1-0 in the Premier League under McDermott. I think Pog scored an early goal and we promptly switched to keeping nine men behind the ball for the next hour. Pearce and Mariappa spent the whole match getting kicked by West Ham’s thugs. Then McDermott pulled off one of our midfielders and stuck on Noel Hunt, which made it even more nervy! But we made it through. Karacan was immense.

ZipSouth Coast RoyalDr_Hfuhruhurr How on Earth did that turn into an insult at Gunter? And Why?
We scored 4 away from home so he must have been responsible for some of the defending-I don't remember but he probably did his usual and stood watching with his hand in the air while we took them to pieces.
If you still went to a few games you might understand why he doesn't get chosen any more and why a new right-back was signed to play ahead of him (the decision by professionals, not me or I suppose you know better than the professionals).
O.K.?
Shakes head and walks away.

Lets break it down.
Goal number 1 - Ian Harte free-kick, hard to see how this would be CG fault, unless he gave the free-kick away* but players give free-kicks away all the time and Harte had no business putting the ball in the net the way he did anyway, great goal.
Goal number 2 - Jem Karacan scores a header from the edge of the box from a corner. Gunter seems to be marking his man, as you would think he would be.
Goal number 3 - Kebe scores from close range. Lee Kamp decides to push away a tame shot from Zurab straight to an unmarked Kebe. The marking is poor and it could be Gunter who is meant to be picking him up, but maybe-Gunter is on the goal line so was in position to possibly make a clearance.
Goal number 4 - Church scores from close range. Ball played down Reading's right crossed in for Church to bundle in. Goal did not involve a Chris Gunter.
*highlights do not show the foul
So before making incorrect sweeping statements that support your own negative view on someone, maybe take the time to refresh your memory, especially as you said you cannot remember!
Yes, Yiadom was signed to play ahead of Gunter and he has done pretty well, on the whole, but he has had some shocking games for us - Swansea away springs to mind straight away - did you go to the games earlier in the season where Gunter played while Yiadom was injured? He played consistently well, or did you forget about that as well?

I don’t think Yiadom would have come straight back into the side after his injury earlier this year if Gunter had remained fit either. He was playing well. Gunter has his faults but he is a perfectly decent right back at this level

It’s a shame we didn’t get to see more of that midfield trio, very talented and worked well with each other but Quinn couldn’t stay off the injury table. Meant we had to put up with Williams each week, who, not for the want of trying, struggled with the technical side of the game unlike the three aforementioned. Those three, along with Vydra, Sa and an inform Blackman, and a fit Ferdinand had the makings of a very good team
As a side point, surprised that the 7-1 Bolton win hasn’t been mentioned yet

Yet another horrible post - theyve become your speciality recently.
My opinion is irrelevant here; the problem is that you saw a nostalgia post rgarding a 2011 game to insult Gunter.
Its just grim. Sure, be unlikeable - but dont be surprised if you end up unliked.

Garry Baldy Agree with everything already mentioned but what about something a little more obscure ?
Does anybody remember Wolves away August 1994 ? Our first game back in the second tier and we were brilliant but somehow contrived to lose 1-0. In spite of the scoreline, Reading fans were singing "What's it like to be outplayed".
I remember thinking at the time that we were looking at something pretty special. Didn't realise how special !

I must say that you went to a lot of trouble but I suppose that you must be bored rather than just your usual boring.
The thrust of my post was about Wes Morgan-you have made no comment about how he played -and the point about Gunter was a throwaway remark.
This is a forum for comment generally of a casual nature but you have come about it as if it were a court of law.
With your fantastic memory of the day (which you suggest is so much better than mine) how did the Welsh Wizard play, how much was your ticket and what number seat did you sit in?

I'd rather be boring than someone who can't look past his own hatred of a player when that player isn't even being discussed by anyone, why even bring up Gunter on this thread? There was no real need. You didn't really need to include your last sentence as it was clearly a worded dig at Gunter.
I don't really care how Wes Morgan played, he isn't our player and I don't feel like I have to defend him from unnecessary comments. It might've been a throwaway remark, but it is a mark which wasn't really needed and, as it turns out, inaccurate.
I don't need a fantastic memory of the day, it is all there in the YouTube clip I posted, which I found in all of about 15 seconds and did a quick 5 minute review of. I never said he was a Welsh Wizard, I just wanted to point out that he wasn't directly responsible for most of the 4 goals we scored that game.
I don't need to provide you with my ticket reference, but since you asked and since I have it to hand:
Price - £19 (student)
Stair - 12
Row - T
Seat - 112
Turnstile - 49 - 56
Block - X1
I can post a picture of it if you want?

I would hazard a guess that you are single and have no children but that is just a guess based on you boasting so often about the sporting events you have been to.
As I said before the comment about Gunter was a throwaway that you have decided to make such a big thing of-why?

LOL. Ok m8. Girlfriend with no children, for the record. I never really boast about sporting events I have been to, please tell me when I have done that and there are plenty which I would still like to go to. I am very fortunate to have a partner who understands that sport is my passion and she has no problem with me going to all these sporting events.
Not really making a big thing about it, you were the one who introduced Gunter into the conversation when you had no real prompt to do so, be it throwaway or not. But maybe I am just a boring saddo, but at least I am ok with that.

In defence of Williams, I think he scored the only goal in our home win over Middlesbrough when he played ahead of Tish. That was another very good team performance. But with injuries to Quinn and Tish at the same time, we just couldn’t keep going. Neither Piazon nor Alex was a good fit for that sort of role.

weird reading that to see that Yeovil team had Luke Ayling, Joe Rolls, Shane Duffy, John Lundstram and Kieffer Moore in it. All decent players, 2 in the Prem (another was there last year) and one of this divisions best RBs
The rest must have been dire
