I quite enjoy forcing teams to pass aimlessly for most the game before watching Skuse win the ball before Celina, Waggy or Garner cause problems. Last year we were the team doing the pointless passing, now we just f*ck teams on the break.
If Ward wasn’t so off the mark yesterday I think there would have been a thrashing yesterday. Number of potential attacks he borked.
I find it odd that a few of the people who wanted attacking football now want possessive football. I’ve come to the conclusion they want the moon on a stick or they don’t actually understand football. |  |

We should have started ironic cheering for every pass Reading made in a meaningless spell of ten plus pass possession. |  |

Their own fans did that eventually! |  |

Totally agree.
Although I'm not sure we were really bossing possession last season were we? |  | | |

Occasionally teams in this league have a bad day, as when Sunderland were here, but generally teams in this league don't roll over and all are capable grinding out a result. Yesterday's performance, against a hitherto in-form team, was professional and hard fought and, despite the possession imbalance in Reading's favour, they rarely threatened.
Yet there were numpties phoning in to local radio moaning that we didn't go on all-out attack; we "should've gone for the jugular" according to one who clearly didn't realise that we were still making the better chances late in the game. "We could have had another two or three goals" according to another, obviously not realising that going all-out could leave our defence exposed and it might be Reading scoring those extra goals...
Our tactics worked well and victory was well-deserved yet there were those clutching onto the possession statistic as a stick to beat McCarthy for being "negative". Sometimes I wonder at peoples' grasp on reality. Moon-on-a-stick indeed... |  |

Along with chanting "we've got the ball, we've got the ball" at the end. I enjoyed that. | | | |

Yep. Give me the manner in which we scored our first goal ahead of the sterile nonsense that actually brought it about any day. | |

I heard those 2 callers and then switched the thing off. |  |
