There is one guy on the pitch, Danny Guthrie, who understands playing between the lines. And this is actually a problem - we'd probably be better off with two empty-heads in the middle of the park, because as soon as Guthrie wanders, we have but one player filling 25 yards of the pitch.

It was sarcastic, you pillock.
My point was, and it wasn't Guthrie's fault per se, was that when he's the only one in the squad seemingly capable of playing in that way, all you end up with is the middle of the park with no Reading player in it.

We played well... We kept good possesion of the football...
Trotted out every week. We move on?

Sanguine Why the fcuk are you arguing with me?
I like Guthrie, he played alright today, but our midfield was non-existent and, for the hard of understanding (i.e. you) imho that was because of our lack of movement. This was amplified by the fact that Guthrie was (correctly) making himself an option to the defence or to the wingers, but the rest of the midfield was static, which left huge gaps in the middle.

holsgrove breaks a leg Blimey nige you cant resist a good tinkering of the squad can you, its all getting a bit brendan rodgers except we apparently have the talent this time round. The performances and cohesion is so overwhelmingly individual its embarrassing. Granted we have had injuries but a combination of nigels plate spinning and poor individual errors serves to remind us that a playoff place even in the championship where you can get away with it is hardly warranted. Id actuall love our posession football to pay dividends but when you have a prima donna in the middle of the park called guthrie its hard to see it through. Just how many bad passes from him are we going to apologise for, his offensive passing is way overarated. Obita bides his time and then gets shoved in thed in the middle to knock any confidence he had grown, mccleary who I rate turns into kebe early 2008 and gunter gets the run around the entire game. Not to mention hal ' i can play as a striker' kanu- well it turns out you cant. Cummings battled valiantly, pog and sharp did there level best with balls from midfield twatted to them at neck level whilst alfie grabs another goal from the bench as a reminder to adkins probably not to pick him. At the other end pearce and gorkks are the few to put up a fight but are cruelly exposed for their lack of pace. Drethes cameo was encouraging but as aluded to before the focus on individual performances is fractured as are the tactics and the general belive and enjoyment of the fans.
