Disappointing performance. What did Reading have apart from movement? They created nothing and Lumley had one save to make near the end. A game we should have been winning as there are plenty more difficult ones to come. Can't agree with people who think Scowen was good because he did a couple of things he's there for in the first place. His passing was awful. Cousins also very poor and didn't grab his chance. The pair of them don't make one Luongo. SMC left Eze on too long. He doesn't help defensively so it wouldn't have upset anything to give Chair a fair crack. Problems to solve before Villa. Hopefully just a blip.

Reading looked decent enough Gats agree with you, far better side then I had given credit in build up.
Think in today’s football you cant really have one trick players who do one thing only as you end up with results like today as you have players such Scowen and cousins who bring nothing to the game other then breaking game up (both struggled doing that today) add in Eze strolling round the pitch and our midfield looked like it was playing with an anchor
The three of them were awful and none of them done anything of note, it’s not slating players it’s simply being honest

Scowens was in for the defencive mid fielder Cameron we kept a clean sheet , Cousins was in for the more attacking link man Luongo our forwards were starved Wells in particular
but ten points from a possible twelve that's ####in terrible
btw Reading created some decent chance just wasn't good enough or confident enough to put them away plus we rode our luck and defended well

Just got in. First half we were miles off it, constantly torn a new one down the right hand side and was really surprised with reading who I thought had several players with pace and a physical presence(something we lack dearly in key areas). Appreciate they have the new manager who’s come in so they might be buzzing off that but on that showing they won’t be down the bottom long. Thought we were poor in the middle and a few players are running on fumes and need a rest, eze being one but I thought pav looked a bit blowey too although he can look like that most of the time if you know what I mean. Don’t remember us winning a second ball in the first half. 2nd half better but again they found some joy down the right, it was so glaringly obvious and think we should have made changes when all of a sudden we seemed to click into gear a bit. I can think of nearly half a dozen occasions in the second half when on another day we score. Nahkis blaze over, the penalty claim(seen them given but didn’t think it was), pavs one on one and Tony nearly splitting the cross bar to name a few. Add that to the one in the first half and we could have realistically matched the Ipswich score while not playing well. That’s the mark of a decent enough side and if someone had offered me 10 points from 12 I’d have taken it. Can’t help but be disappointed but I think we’ve got to be pleased with another clean sheet and step in the right direction despite being 2nd best for 70 minutes. Funny old league
