Jacko 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Cech will not want to see that second one again. He will not make a worse mistake in his whole career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillip J Fry 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Reading aren''t playing particularly well, there one bit of good play resulted in a goal and the other was atrocious keeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Chops 7 Posted August 22, 2012 Weren''t Southampton 2-1 up at Man City on Sunday? Threads like this are better at full time, though now I''ve typed this no doubt Reading will win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyLo 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Sure, any newly promoted team going 2-1 up at Stamford would gain confidence and play better. After scoring that second they looked very good, but chelsea were stunned and all over the place.Chelsea were well on top before that and had it not been for some selfishness and wayward forward play, they could have been 2 or 3 up.I am not certain reading will maintain this. Defending looks pretty woeful.However, at least they''ve attacked and managed to string some passing moves together.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
technika 0 Posted August 22, 2012 even if they lose i think all managers of teams outside the top 5 can see if they let their teams have a go then they might stand a chance of picking up points (lets hope hughtons one of these). Everyone expects to not get anything from those games anyway so instead of parking the bus you might as well drive it straight at them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reading are giving it a go just like we did last season. They may well end up losing but at least the fans can feel they were trying to get something.

Set pieces and long passes are causing havoc amongst the Chelsea back line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phillip J Fry 0 Posted August 22, 2012 [quote user="City1st"]eh ? [/quote]Ricardo said that Reading ''were giving it a go'' indicating they were attacking regularly, then he said they''d parked the bus i.e. aren''t very attacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
