Looks a good side, strong bench and good balance

Just need to play well really.

Sutekh Reading XI : Mannone, Gunter, McShane, Moore, Blackett, Berg, Edwards, McCleary, Kelly, Bodvarsson, Aluko

Subs : Jaakkola, Ilori, Beerens, Evans, Obita, Bacuna, Clement

Let me guess, now Barrow is injured....? :?

Suspect that's right. He did pull up a little after a length of the pitch sprint in the first half last week (after about half an hour). Bet its announced he has a hamstring problem. Is Popa injured as well?

That's too easy. Far too soft. Doesn't help that we gave it away cheaply twice leading up to the goal.

FFS, I'm actually starting to get worried about how this season is going, I know we're only 7 games in but this is definitely not what I expected.

That said Brentford have lost a lot of points from winning positions so here's hope.

Any description of what happened?

We're starting to get towards the point where this could be a little concerning. But it's all fine margins. Should have (and deserved to) beat Fulham and Bristol. Early on today.... we need to be better at coming from behind... time to show we can be.

Direct result of Blackett dropping back too far. Poor zonal marking left his man loads of space to run in. You cant have your CMs man marking and your FBs zonal marking. It gives the other team tonnes of space to attack.

On another note I am getting real sick of "hindsight gesticulations" from players. Blackett just tried a short pass under pressure to Kelly (who made no effort t stop it going out) and Kellys response was to point up the pitch and (seemingly) say "you should have..."

It just highlights poor communication skills.

Potentially good bye prediction league lead for me too. I reckon I might pick up my first -3 today. :(

I predicted a 2-1 win so there's still hope for me.

Sounds like 30 minutes of utter cr@p from Reading so far. Plus it's not going to be long until McShane gets sent off at this rate.

Bottom 3 might be about an hour away.

We were doing fine until Brentford scored, we are so mentally fragile.

The pitch looks awful. Do they chase eggs there?

Sounds pretty feeble. Still in it I suppose is about all we can take from that
