Playing lots of long balls tonight. Critics should take note that Stam now seems to be showing plenty of adaptability.

Love the analysis from Bellamy and Rosenior.

Show a clip of Cardiff's front 5 pressing us high, us beating it and then having a free run at their deep defence. Analysis: Defence needs to step up too.
Next clip, Cardiff doing exactly that and Reading playing a ball over the top for Barrow to almost go one on one with their keeper.
So that doesn't work either.

A bit hard to sit back and defend your box in numbers when 2-0 down. They need to score, we don't.

From the little I saw, and clips, we're playing them because we're beating the press with quality short passing. And because the attackers are making good runs.

58' The ref comes over to have a word with Cardiff boss Neil Warnock, who was sharing his opinion with the fourth official. :lol: :lol:

Mixing it up.

Short passing and more direct balls into the channels. Good movement giving us options to be more direct in attack but also retain the ball and get it out of defence.

A while ago now the figure of 25 long balls for Reading came up on screen

Not sure how it's defined but I guarantee that long balls in first ten games would be way less than last few

I think we’re possibly overdoing the long balls now

Fair play to him though, he did say in the build up to the match that we were a much better team than Cardiff.

Colin’s off. I suppose it is pantomime season.
