MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (h)

[Bristol Paul]

Utter dogshit didn’t even deserve a point. Shrewsbury the better side. Craig savage garcia and Campbell dreadful.

Craig is like a crab, backwards and sideways, Savage more and more a headless chicken, Garcia just not ready, Wing out of form, Knibbs, was he on the pitch? Team can’t pass for toffee and carry no threat whatsoever. Hunts subs hopeless. Embarrassing from start to finish.

[WestYorksRoyal]

You can talk about the performance and who deserves what, but that penalty appeal was stonewall. Give it and we win.

Nah it wasn’t, total dive.

[blythspartan]

Another point towards safety against the best footballing team in League One.

Sorry mate, It was right in front of me. Nailed on penalty.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yep. Shit performance but another blatant penalty turned down. Foul on Mbengue in the build up for their goal too.

[Sutekh]

Totally awful. Don’t know what the **** Hunt does with them in training but it certainly isn’t football, been going backwards since Selles left.

He played for it but there was contact and if the first pen was given you’ve got to give that really

Any dire game, dull performance, crap subs which made us gradually worse

Kelvin looked a bit better. Wareham did ok. CBs ok. Not much else to enthuse about

Shrewsbury certainly won’t much cop and looked weak defensively, we just never got any kind of momentum going

Saw it twice on replay from different angles, a dive in my opinion, but appreciate it’s all about opinions. One thing I think we all agree on was this it was a dreadful performance

[windermereROYAL]

Worse performance of this or any other recent season, dreadful, so many unforced errors and under or over hit passes. play like that a week Saturday against Birmingham and they are sticking 6 past us.

It's never a dive at any angle. Blackman grabs his foot.

This. you could argue that WiFi overran the ball but it was a penalty for sure.

Special mention for the ref tonight who was abysmall - completely out of her depth.

[Royality creeps In]

Don’t think I have been to a game with so many miss hit passes.
Can someone tell me what Hunts game plan is because I’m oxf*rd if I know!

To sum that performance up. Total dogshit.

[Armadillo Roadkill]

Not sure about this hammering Craig and Savage are getting. They both worked hard, Savage in particular doing other people's jobs when they couldn't be bothered to chase someone or put a tackle in. I mean, every single Reading player made loads of mistakes, but those two weren't the worst offenders by any means.

Garcia isn't ready.

Wareham did well.

The referee was fine. I didn't look like a penalty to me in real time - from Y21.. If the assistant doesn't give it who is looking straight at it I don't see how she can. Other than that, she didn't fall for their diving, was consistent, and handled the game cooly.

[Snowflake Royal]

Didn't even think about whether this was tonight.

Another point in the bag.

Sounds like yet another inexplicable choice to play a midfielder at RB and an overly cocky kid that can't defend properly at LB instead of the actually decent fullback we have fit in Abrefa.

[windermereROYAL]

Referee did well for me, got very little wrong. we`ve had worse much worse this season.

To sum that performance up. Total dogshit.

The formation is just ridiculous. 3 forward players that are so far up the pitch they are completely disconnected from the 2 in midfield with a 3rd midfielder playing as a centre back getting closed down by the opposition just led to aimless long balls that conceded what little possession we had.

Craig was terrible but had zero options as Campbell was rigidly sticking to his position high up the pitch and was incapable of holding the ball up.

Hunt just stood there, not changing a thing. He must have seen it really wasn't working surely?

[Royal_jimmy]

Crap tonight, another game where we lack a cutting edge, another game where the opponent goalkeeper could leave the stadium without needing a bath. Any slim hopes of playoffs are gone and weren't going to happen anyway.

Hunt frustrates me, I appreciate the shambles the club is in but having inherited the same players that Selles has, the football is dull to watch, we don't create much but we seem to put away the few chances we do get. That's concerning because it's unsustainable and we're setting ourselves up for a winless and barren spell on scoring goals. Probably see us limp to a midtable finish at this rate. Some games we look solid without looking fluid (Huddersfield, Charlton, Mansfield, Bolton and Northampton) and other games we look completely lost out there (Lincoln, tonight, Stockport, Leyton Orient). His subs just puzzle me, it's like he's managing the U21s and he needs to remember this is the first team!

Need the takeover sorted to give us some optimism over the summer and a chance to finally rebuild properly, I just don't think Noel Hunt is the man to lead that effort. Him moaning at the referee (who had a good game) at the full time whistle was embarrassing. Noel, we were shite rather than the referee why don't you take some responsibility, we weren't good enough tonight.

[PistolPete]

Totally awful. Don’t know what the **** Hunt does with them in training but it certainly isn’t football, been going backwards since Selles left.

We went from a top championship/bottom premier league manager to a guy in his first job.

This is the reality
