MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h)

[YorkshireRoyal99]

He always scores against us, but with the height we've got in the box with Holmes and Sarr, it's so to score against us sometimes.

P.Ince wonders why we always concede from crosses, but we just constantly invite them into the area because of how narrow we defend. No pressure on the crosses from the wider areas and that's where goals come from.

Need to start taking the game to them again.

[Sutekh]

Just the 1 shot for Reading so far, but it’s actually counted

2 corners as well

Brum have had 2 off target attempts

Reading just shading possession (55-45)

Now behind on possession (42-58) and Brum have had 2 shots on target from 5 attempts. Reading up to 3 shots now but still only 1 on target.

[Snowflake Royal]

Joao creates an attack from a midfield pass to him again.

oxf*rd this long ball bullshit

[Sutekh]

Blackpool 0-3 Cardiff (any chance of some rain please?)

[Snowflake Royal]

Ref is missing a lot, both ways.

[Sutekh]

Ref is missing a lot, both ways.

Only his second game refereeing at this level.

[YorkshireRoyal99]

Fair to say I'd appreciate a win with how the results are at the moment lads...

Huddersfield level at Watford.

[Snowflake Royal]

Thinking isn’t Yiadom's strong point. Just shot miles wide.from about 40 yards when options on. Earlier threw a Birmingham player over when the ball was dribbling out safely for a gk.

[Sutekh]

If Huddersfield go on to win and Reading don’t then we’re in the relegation places with a visit to Preston and a game with Burnley to come.

[Snowflake Royal]

Joao and Casadei looking really lively on the rare occasions the ball is anywhere near their feet.

[Vision]

Meite has gone down injured on the half time whistle.

[Orion1871]

Absolutely dire.

[Sutekh]

Meite has gone down injured on the half time whistle.

Careless of the ref to drop it.

[Bristol Paul]

Thinking isn’t Yiadom's strong point. Just shot miles wide.from about 40 yards when options on. Earlier threw a Birmingham player over when the ball was dribbling out safely for a gk.

Yiadom doesn't have a strong point, he's a Division 1 player at best

Yiadom doesn't have a strong point, he's a Division 1 player at best

He's quick, he's committed, strong in the challenge and he's good at taking on his man.

[Sutekh]

If only Reading could have persuaded Colin to takeover instead of Ince, doubt very much the club would be in its current league position.

[Royal_jimmy]

Positive start but been poor since. Need to play better if we want to win this

Except when “his man” has the ball

[Snowflake Royal]

Paul Ince HT team talk.

"That's good lads, we're in this game, just got to cut out those passing errors. Remember nothing forwards less than 50 yards and always to Carroll’s head or 20 yards ahead of Meite. Everyone else make sure you don't run for the flick on or support Carroll for the knock down when its to him."

[Snowflake Royal]

Might count how many successful passes in a row we can manage to stay awake.
