TBF we've forced 3-4 saves in the last few mins.

Too little too late.

Mad to only make 1 sub when losing 2-0 at home.

Just seems like one of those games to me. Didn't play great, but 2 nill is harsh.

This is where PInce needs to earn his money. Work with the team to make sure we keep morale up and don't start sliding backwards like we did in preview seasons. Always thought that we were punching above our weight this season, but should be fighting to stay in contention with play off spots for as long as possible.

We need to take the positives from this match

Learning this is it

Bar a couple of errors and the first 25 minutes we've played alright and been denied by a string of good saves.

But that first 25 was dreadful and Hendrick has done a Drinkwater special to make it too much.

Always likely. We've been drifting after a good start and West Brom were always likely to improve soon.

Midfield is too unreliable... when Hendrick plays well, Reading lose. Early in the season he was our weakest player. He's had two of his best games in the last few. Played well today bar the error. Got to stop trying to T him up. He is never going to score many. Rarely gets close.

Dim praising Bouzanis' kicking all game. Longer =/= better. If it just goes over the strikers heads its not a good kick. And no the strikers shouldn't just step up 10 yards. They don't want to be trying to win a GK in the opposition box.

Carroll and Joao up top doesn’t work. 1 goal in 3 from open play.

We certainly looked much more dangerous when Meite came on for Carroll.

Ince was a bit wasted deeper too. I'm surprised that didn’t work better.

I'm not convinced the forward line works in our shape. Our player combinations don’t really fit it very well.

Bit of a nothing performance really. Atmosphere was sleepy. We started terribly and think that set the tone

Wba certainly not a bottom 3 side and looked good when they pressed.

Only really got going when we went two down and their keeper then pulled off some fantastic saves

Joao was much better. Meite looked sharp. Defence was generally pretty good. But lots of poor play all round as well.

The old Reading special of gifting a win to a team at the bottom.
The "great saves" their keeper made were pretty much all straight at him. Hitting them hard doesn't equal good shooting.

Did Dim really praise Bouzanis's kicking? I thought it was atrocious, long and aimless

Only because his positioning or getting across were excellent

Tbf their second goal was a hell of a strike, just seen the highlight
