Reading v Derby

[Madejski]

We've only allowed the opposition to 12 shots on target in 7 games - good stat.

We concede with every other shot on target the opposition have - bad stat.

Think that's going to be us this season, that massively inconsistent team that can be great one week, surrounding by mediocre ifs and almosts. A typical just missing out on playoffs season.

That'll change when you play us dont worry!

 

[Ciderhead]

Probably thrown as many points away this season as we've picked up.

Need to turn this around in Bristol at the weekend.

Well at least we can't both throw away 3 points for this one

 

[Madejski]

I'm sure we'll give it a good try.

No idea how we'll play without Sa at the weekend now. That central target figure is key to our attacking presence. Guessing we'll go a counter 4-4-2 with Blackman/Vydra up front. Won't give us as much chance to dominate the game.

 

[Luke_1884]

Well, didn't expect that.

Back to back wins for the first time since February, our start doesn't look so awful now. No need to dwell on the performance IMO, games are coming up thick and fast. Onto Monday, you rams.

 

[Dazza]

Decent first half performance although we didn't create too many chances. Can have no complaints about the red card.Utterly stupid by Sa.Norwood and Tishbola were our best players. On Bbc Berks after the game one or two comments saying Bond should have kept their goal out. Bit harsh on Bond in my opinion.

Can see why Pearce is not getting in Derby's starting 11. They looked very solid at the back.

 

[Rammy]

Well that's the first time an opposition fan has said that.

We do look far more comfortable at the back now though, after the bizarre antics in the final third of last season.

When you think about it, it's only Leeds who have scored a goal that wasn't a deflected effort (brum, Charlton, Preston) or lucky mishit (Boro). We do look more solid.
