I’m amazed there’s no thread. No pre-talk of ticket sales, no enthusiasm for our next 3pm Saturday away game.

What’s up with you all? 😂

But, shouldn't matter really, had several very good chances to have put the game to bed.

Give over.

Collins has had an off day, but that doesnt suddenly mean he's not good enough. . Can't argue with his recent record. 

Hopefully SS can get this all sorted no improvement really very poor 

Just as James Collins scores🙄

That ref has been abysmal all game , for both teams, the doogie howser lookin mother fucker

Etete looks fucking miles off it. Weak as piss for a lad 6ft 6

Unlucky really a draw would have been a fair result.

I'm sure there's been worse debuts, but I'm not sure I can think of one

Shit pitch and the dark arts being employed by Reading, god referee's in League One are so crap.

Wasn't even a dig at Collins... 

But, he would obviously benefit from playing off a more physical presence that can let him do the fancy stuff that he's good at. Or even come in off the left, so far Etete doesn't look to be up to much.

Terrible record at this lot.

Always seem to pull out a win against us.

That’s frustrating

Sums up our season so far. Plenty of promise but not quite delivering, not scoring anywhere near enough to challenge at the top and generally not dominant enough to overcome setbacks and muggings like this.

Pretty to watch at times, but simply nowhere near ruthless enough when we're on top.

And yet another fucking DOGSHIT league on ref

Oh well, 

 

 

The Whites are staying up!!!

Ah well. 

Best he sees the lot, faults and all.

Sure, but I meant for us

Should never have lost that game. Big lad should play basketball instead.

Whilst they had a lot of the ball, I felt like we had the better chances and with a more resolute midfield I think we’d have taken the win today. Having said that, a point seemed a fair result and it was nice to feel some optimism once again. 
 

Shame Collins was having an off day today, he should’ve had at least two. The lads class though so can’t say too much.

Looking forward to the remainder of the season, it’s going to be exciting and I look forward to schuey put his stamp on the team.

COYWM

Focusing on the positives:

We played well and should've won it

Even in the moments where momentum was in their favour, they rarely really threatened us

The back three were immense 

Cogley also put in a big shift 

Etete needs a full pre season by the look of it. Don't know why he was even down there. Leave him on the half way line FFS. Unfortunately Collins should have had 2 or 3 today and it would have been game over. Like I said in a previous post. Hate losing to these lot and their shit head fans. Feel really sorry for the amazing fans. 

I know it's only goal difference but will we ever get into the top six. Seems like so near yet so far!

sorta undeserved loss really dreadful finishing from Collins and a pathetic debut cost us, it's not just the fuck up, he looks a clunky turns like a bus type.

no idea what Collins was up to, he had a one on one first half but slowed down, then the ball ricochet to him with whole goal to aim at straight at keeper and at the end he chips it when he could have just been more composed instead of trying to be clever. Cogley won the ball 2nd half and put in Randall and he took the ball on the angle allowing a player to get back when if he ran straight he's have been on on one.

Different positions but I got Greenidge levels of coordination vibes.  Evatt's final leaving present to us?  And yes I know its too early.

You know that recent conversation about have we lost any this season where we could say we were unlucky ...

Thought we were the better team, created the better chances, wrestled control back after their spell after half time, looked like there was only one team likely to win it ... then a penalty from a nothing situation.

Gutted, but at least SS can start his own winning run now.
