MATCHWATCH : Stoke City (h)

[Vision]

Ejaria has been shit but the lazy tag is utter nonsense.

No-one (with the possible exception of Yiadom) has covered more ground than Ejaria in that half.

[Hendo]

Would take Ovie off for sure, not been his night and I think he’s risking a red.

Shoutout to Drinkwater, been brilliant and his tracking back after Ovie got out muscled was exception. Don’t think he’s given the ball away at all yet, either. Which is a plus.

Need to just give the ball to Hoilett every chance we get, has the beating of them every time.

Iffy keeping for the goal, for sure, almost like he saw it late.

[Snowflake Royal]

Looked very much like some crap keeping there

As bad an error as we've seen.

Get Ejaria off. THat's absolutely criminal. And again
.
He does not play again this season after that disgrace

My fault for saying Nyland is better than Hein and Southwood combined. I’ve cursed him.

Happy with my early assessment that neither Hein nor Nyland are any better than Southwood.

Definitely stupid, not lazy.

Would like to see it from Nyland's view, my thought as soon as I saw it was a defender must have got in his way.

[Hendo]

If there isn't a HT change for Bashiru or Azeez to come on for Ejaria I'll be astounded.

Both going through a normal HT kickabout so unlikely.

[South Coast Royal]

Shows what a difference it makes when you occasionally play a wide man on his strong side.

Doesn't need more than half a yard to manufacture a cross.

Same goes for full-backs? (for old time's sake)

Swerved late after coming straight at him and he's panicked and flailed it straight up into the roof of his net.

That was my thought as well, but I’m in the East so got no idea. Southwood conceded a similar goal v Blackbool, iirc from a corner where it went through a couple of players and saw it late.

needless to say….if they were any good, they wouldn’t have pimped-out to Reading (Heins’ youth notwithstanding).

Nylands done ok up to now

BBCRB doing their usual thing of focussing on a player and exaggerating everything.

He was at the centre of pretty much every attack. Yes a coupleof poor decisions but we know that. If he had good decisions he'd be starting for Liverpool tonight not Reading.

Then since the foul he's had some crap moments sadly.

Two errors in two for me now. And not especially impressive prior to that.

[NathStPaul]

Ejaria is still on. Nailed on red card.

I've said on both Bournemouth thread and Barnsley thread that he was too close to the line for both goals, inexplicably doesn't like to stand off it. Yet again, pretty much standing on the line but that should have made it easier for him not harder.

Another keeper, another liability. WTF.

that’s why he’s here…to help out but is not rated elsewhere.

Plenty of other errors on the pitch obvs

50/1 with B365...

Only a couple even remotely as bad.

Yes, Dellor going way OTT about the player.
If anybody maybe Barker coming on would help to keep our shape but IMHO TDB just generally runs around even if (early on in the season) he can pop up with the odd goal.

The brightest start by Reading for some time but , a bit like Barnsley on Saturday, weren't sure what to do when going ahead relatively early for them.

nothing that a penalty save in injury time at 2-1 up won’ t solve.

He’s a keeper, they can only be identified as doing wrong.

Not a fan btw

That is fcuking generous. IN.
