Brogue
Snowflake Royal Why on Earth are we playing Hoilett and McIntyre as wing backs with Yiadom on the pitch and NGW available?


Won 3 of our last 4. I’m alright with it for the time being.

They've only played wb together in one of the last 4.

I wonder if Norwich have been instructed to play a bit harder.

Better then. Ball a bit too heavy for Hoilett to cross accurately... or Hoilett not quite expecting the pass.

Remember 15 years or so ago when we were one of the best teams in the country for throw ins? We must he one of the worst in the country now. Zero thought or movement.

That basically lasted as long as multi-ball didn’t it... most of the last 20 odd years we've been lacklustre at throws from memory.

With Carroll Sarr Holmes Joao and tmac in this team we should really looking to exploit the aerial strength we have. We need a better ball into the box from set pieces.

as a sidedish, remember a Scunthorpe player (yes Scunthorpe ffs :shock: ) doing a throw-in from behind the advertising hoardings….they went on to score from it, whilst the whole of Reading were too busy moaning.

In all my years of supporting Reading, I never once saw us beat Scunthorpe.

When's the last time we had a player who could consistently put in half decent crosses?

Snowflake Royal Sarr isn't that good is he...


No-one is.

The lack of quality and imagination makes us a pretty dreadful team to watch.

That cross from McIntyre was awful, he can play left back but bloody hell he doesn't have all the qualities of one.

McIntyre in unsurprisingly not being a wing back shocker. His delivery is normally better than that too.

NGW could have crossed that or run it.
