ricardo 7,386 Posted October 30, 2020 Coventry certainly one of the weaker sides but not being overrun by any means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I cheered when Coventry scored as I want us to reduce the gap tomorrow lunchtime. I agree Reading have been stronger, but they seem to be running on enthusiasm rather than ability.

You always feel that Reading would come back...just like we used to be, they're on the hunt all the time. Edit: goal just gone in. Coventry have held good shape but look very little threat upfront. Reading look more hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,517 Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Just to add, I think it's that hunger that is so important in a team. The difference between top two and top six? I haven't seen it in us yet for any kind of long period this season but pray it happens from tomorrow. Edited October 30, 2020 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And i'm pretty sure he has a decent long throw on him, considering how bad we are at defending them it would have been useful to have when chasing a game, especially with hugil on the pitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted October 30, 2020 He should be scoring goals for us not for another championship club. I'm not sure I will ever understand this move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a weird loan I thought just before selling Jamal. More weird than Trybull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,405 Posted October 30, 2020 So, freak result or to be expected? Is that a knock to Reading's confidence that brings them down to a normal level of not quite good enough? Can we capitalise from now? Let's hope so on both counts, but yet again that mantra of never taking anything for granted in the championship holds true.

rock bus 851 Posted October 30, 2020 Masterful move loaning out McCallum. He is now helping a team unlikely to be rivalling us for promotion take points off teams who probably will be (eg Reading) 😉 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted October 30, 2020 I don't think Reading will stay up there, at least going off xG. Keep Joao out of the game and I'm not sure what else they're really got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Starr 519 Posted October 31, 2020 hahah McCallum just when we need him the most smashes in a 30 yard screamer with his first touch of the ball BUT even more amusingly, "Wayne Rooney's" Derby slide into the bottom 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted November 7, 2020 Oh dear. Well never mind. You have to to be a good team to lose three in a row and still be top of the league. Still have a soft spot for the Royals after watching Kerry Dixon tear up the Third Division at decrepit Elm Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
