Charles off We could be doing a Shrewsbury here stealing defeat from the jaws of victory as we don’t appear to have anything left in the tank
Do we now have to be grateful for an away point when victory was almost assured!!! COYWM

And there you have it
2-1 to the Royals

Is there any chance the EFL can dock us some points??? We only succumb to ‘docked point’ teams, perhaps the luck could swing our way

Another team we tired out?
Erm, no.
Unfortunately Ian Evatt had assembled a really poor strike force. Had the chance to shake it up and wasted it.
We will slide down this league and the excuses will come thick and fast.

Thomason was outstanding the only one who seemed to be playing with passion. The ref might as well have worn a Reading shirt and his strange decisions and carding our players for nothing did not help. Nlundlu and Jerome were not to blame for us losing but should never play for us again (not sure they are playing for us at the moment!) We have a worse team than last year and unless something changes, we will not be going up or even getting a play off place.

Terrible everything davidm Can’t wait to see your player scores Every single midfielder - crap Defence - crap Strike force - crap, apart from Charles and he wasn’t really all that Baxter - one half decent save then the rest - crap Evatt - CRAP. I’d rather have Chris Wilder or Gary Caldwell than this herbert Incidentally Rob Edwards - ex FGR, went on to to manage Watford then Luton Michael Duff - Cheltenham, went on to manage Barnsley then Swansea Ryan Lowe - ex Bury, went on to manage Argyle and get them promoted, now sitting top of the Championship with North End Richie Wellens - ex Swindon, got them promoted, then got Leyton O promoted, he’ll be one for the next Championship managerial vacancy Stephen Schumacher - Promoted with Argule and riding high in the Championship Kieran McKenna - First managerial job, got Ipswich into the Championship Liam Rosenior - First managerial job and riding high in the Championship with Hull IAN EVATT - still being allowed to stagnate constantly and ply his trade at our famous football club with little to no pressure from the powers above. There must be a reason why no other team wants him CRAP

A sloppy causal performance that got what it deserved.
It seemed to be a case of score one goal and then take it for granted that we have won.
Our basic footballing skills were rubbish – bad passing, shockingly bad ball control and casual play.
We didn’t start very well and Reading pressed us well and it was definitely against the run of play when Charles dispossessed their centre back and scored excellently from a difficult angle.
Suddenly all the chances started and, unfortunately, the best ones fell to the dreadful Adeboyejo. Twice he was clear and twice he failed to control the ball and messed up 2 easy chances.
Toal then had a header blocked by the keeper and no one was awake enough to get to the loose ball.
We finished the half with Charles messing up a great chance.
Defensively we had looked iffy down our left with acres of room available to Reading. Santos looked decidedly sluggish – he was even outpaced on a couple of occasions.
In all this, Reading had 1 chance from long distance when they hit the bar,
So 1-0 at half time and it should have been much better.
Second half, our casual play continued and it looked for all the world that we had decided that the match was won so we just casually passed the ball about.
The manager had to make his usual subs after about an 70 minutes – WHY? – because we got worse.
For all my criticism of Williams, Iredale came on and was dreadful. Reading just went at him and got 2 goals. The first they came in from the wing and found a man totally unmarked 25 yards out in the centre of goal. He shot and scored. I am not sure if Baxter should have saved it.
Charles then was an inch away from a tap in but the game had changed and the inevitable came when Iredale let his man run to the bye line and pull the ball back for a tap in. I couldn’t work out where Santos was in all this. He certainly wasn’t marking and Jones was a yard away from the goalscorer.
The game just finished awfully when Toal stupidly got a second yellow and was sent off. Needless yellow cards.
In the end, the game changed when our subs were introduced. We hadn’t been playing too well before but we just stopped playing totally once the manager chose to make all those subs.
There was no promotion form in this performance – just sloppy mid-table stuff.
Marks:-
Baxter - 5 A couple of good saves but could he have saved the 1st goal?
Dacres - Cogley - 6 He did OK.
Williams - 3 Acres of room down the left side of our defence
Jones - 4 Poor marking for the 2nd goal
Santos - 4 Sluggish throughout the game. He didn’t have his usual pace and just was not there for the goals
Toal - 4 Stupid to get booked for arguing with the linesman. Also he and Williams let Reading have free roam down their right
Sheehan - 5 Couldn’t really get going. No decent passes from him
Thomason - 6 Involved throughout – best of a poor midfield
Dempsey - 5 Same as Sheehan – just couldn’t get going
Charles - 6 Took his goal brilliantly and then missed 2 excellent chances
Adeboyejo - 3 He just has no football skills. Twice clean through on the keeper and twice mis-controlled the ball. Awful
Iredale - 2 Terrible. Both goals came from the left of our defence when he just could not defend
Jerome - 2 Contributed nothing
Nlundulu - 2 Contributed less than nothing!
Bodvarsson - 4 Could not get into the game but how the manager can bring on Jerome and Nlundulu ahead of him, I do not know.
