MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

[Royal_jimmy]

Peterborough are exactly what I expected tonight, fit, up for it and in our faces. Limited side but look the better team tonight.

Only way we score is from a set piece.

[Sutekh]

A team of technical, lazy bastards without a tackle between the lot of them. Whole back four shit, Drinkwater laughable, Swift not interested in putting in a shift. No point having talent if you don’t work hard, and this lot are as lazy as they come.

That’s the trouble, where’s the “iron and steel” of the team? All very well having a load of fancy dan’s with a shed load of tricks and the ability to pass a bit but it’s all useless without 2 or 3 players who roll up their sleeves and start getting stuck in.

[Royal Rother]

This is like watching two blokes with no arms or legs trying to swim the Channel.

[CountryRoyal]

That might have been the worst half of championship football. Ever.

Hilariously bad. Seen more quality in non-league tbh.

Think Luton was worse.

Dunno. I only watched Luton online so it didn’t quite have the same impact as the in-person, miserable regret and disdain of watching us live.

[Franconian Royal]

Anyone at the match? The boys on Berks said there are 1,000 of you. Any chants against Pauno?

Someone tried to start it but was told to shut up.

[windermereROYAL]

How many time have they shown Barry Fry on the telly?

[Sutekh]

Shots so far. Reading 1 on target from 3, Peterborough 4 on target from 8.

[NathStPaul]

Let's just put Swift on corners please.

[Sutekh]

More proof that Reading don’t actually practice set pieces.

We have the wind now, those figures will be reversed 2nd half, now where did i put those straws, i need a good clutch.

You sure?

[NathStPaul]

Imagine having defenders who attack the ball on set pieces.

[Ascotexgunner]

Jesus how did that stay out. We will be lucky to get a draw.

[Hound]

Good to see us looking secure from set pieces anyway

We’ve been so bad in this game

Exactly what Bowen used to say about us being too nice and needing a nastier edge.

[Snowflake Royal]

Clownovic's defensive corner training is playing musical statues, and the music stops as soon as the ball is kicked.



You know, we might actually survive this. Posh could have had 4 / 5 already and it's still 0-0

[Jinx]

I thought playing against the wind was making us look bad - no, it's us making us look bad

[Pepe the Horseman]

Jesus wept, this is horrific.

[CountryRoyal]

Pauno out chants started now
