Hughton needs to make a half time change.

I don''t think I''ve seen such an uninspiring performance ....actually outplayed and not in it. Reading far better team with more composure could have been 2 ahead. Cannot see a positive result...even a draw if carries on like this, hopeless

[unique 435]

A first half that started reasonably brightly, eventually reverted to type where an opposition goalkeeper might well have brought along a deck chair and topped up on his tan.

Holt, with very few goals to his name this season, decides to try to emulate Rooney''s recent sojourn in midfield, to cataclysmic ineffectiveness.A midfield that is disjointed and tepid enough without Holt adding to it.

The sorry situation has been worsened by Turner''s early bath, meaning Hughton has only two options remaining to turn this woeful display and impotent formation into a team that can threaten McCarthy and the Reading goal with any real intent.

Right now you''d have to take it.

[Mister Chops 7]

If we can get a consistent ten minutes of pressure, we''ll score.  I would expect the second half to have a bit more "focus".Johnson needs to learn how to pass a football if he''s ever going to be Premier League quality - the number of poor passes he played that half really slowed our attacks down or stopped them altogether.

I think you''re right Lincs.

[quote user="lincoln canary"]The starting 11 today simply is not good enough. Technically every reading player looks superior to ours. We have to risk it and bring on Pilks and Wes.[/quote]are you serious ? lmao

norwich have had an average first half but have looked far more threateningtechnically my @rse

[sonyc 5,519]

Holt looks so out of form and no creativity in midfield without Hoolahan and Pilks, Bennett anonymous

[Mister Chops 7]

I think I would find a way to get Hoolahan involved as it gives us a different option from "get it wide, lump it into the box and hope."Sadly this means one of Holt or Kamara making way, and Kamara''s been more involved than Holt.

[sonyc 5,519]

Agree Chops

[Hackedoff 0]

The starting line up didnt fill me with confidence. I cant fathom why Tettey,Hoolahan and Pilks are on the bench.

tettey and pilks are just back form injuryhoolahans a luxury

Yes technically. Every reading player is comfortable on the ball and can make crisp pacey passes to their team mates. We cannot.

Its that time of the year again............ Simeon Jackson?

[rock bus 852]

Christ, shows how bad the situation is if Jackson might be the answer!!

What''s worse is its probably worth a go!!!

i agree some of citys passing is tripe at times but player positioning and where you can distribute will affect that as well

are you watching it though ? ive lost count how many times reading have misplaced passes, i can remember at least 7/8/9/10 occasions where the crowd have jeered their cockups

Id have started him with Becchio , playing Holt right now is flogging a dead horse and Kamara isn''t much better . With Wes Pilks Becchio and Jackson in i''m sure we would have got the points as it is no chance .

[Carra Rud 17]

I''m just glad I''ve got a "give ugly girls a chance" advert to look at...

[lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0]

Come on Holt you owe us a performance! Get the side and crowd fired up.

[Hackedoff 0]

I dont follow this back from injury malarky. If your fit enough for the bench,your fit enough to start. Its not as though they,ve been out for months

[NWC 240]

Yessssss.....who''d ahve thought - Bennet!!

[Budapest Canary 152]

Speaks volumes that our goal comes from a defender. No complaints though! Now kick ''em on the teeth while they''re down....  That''s it...!
