MATCHWATCH : Sheffield United (a)

[Royal Ginger]

Got to be a fitness thing giving Fornah the break.

[Snowflake Royal]

This isn’t working at all, can’t get a foot in the game and there’s no midfield.

No idea why Loum/Fornah has been disrupted.

It had to be Hendrick dropped and not Fornah. We need to try and stay in this

Thing is, Hendrick is the least defensive of all of them. That change makes even less sense to me.

[windermereROYAL]

No hope,
The one downer to this game that Reading have to overcome is their atrocious away league record for midweek games which now stands at 4 wins from 49 attempts and none whatsoever when the opposing team does not begin with the letter “B”.

[CountryRoyal]

I have to admit, for as much as our set up is wrong, Sheff are playing absolutely sublime stuff.

[Jackson Corner]

Safe to say we can kiss goodbye to this game. They are ripping us to shreds.

[Snowflake Royal]

No shame on us. Don't think we're playing badly. Utd are just a different class. On this showing they'll easily be Prem next season.

[Simon's Church]

On another day we'd be 3 down already.

[CountryRoyal]

oxf*rd prime Barcelona this.

[Snowflake Royal]

I don't even mind. This is just beautiful football.

[Snowflake Royal]

oxf*rd prime Barcelona this.

Higher tempo than that dirge.

[Taffster]

So many overloads on our wings need to make it a flat 5 and a flat 4 with João alone up top for awhile

[Snowflake Royal]

Don't ruin it by being Chelsea diving scum.

[Jackson Corner]

This reminds me of Pauno days just playing through us so easy. I at least thought Ince had made us harder to beat.

[Millsy]

Bloody hell should have scored then.

[CountryRoyal]

Can’t be wasting opportunities like that.

[Snowflake Royal]

Oh so close. Joao just makes it to the ball twice, Hoilett tries to back heel to him rather than shoot. Darn

If he got that touch right it was an empty goal to tap in, and his shot was tough, probably wouldn't go in.

[Royal Ginger]

This reminds me of Pauno days just playing through us so easy. I at least thought Ince had made us harder to beat.

He has. They’re battling, but United are just a much better football team right now.

[Snowflake Royal]

Ince should really hit the target there. Oh well. Feet not quite right.

We may be getting battered but we're getting some chances, fighting and we're still in it.

All their touches are crisp and perfect, lots of ours are rushed or not quite right, because not only are they playing excellent football they're pressing like absolute beasts as well. Surely they can't keep this pace up for 90 minutes!

[Millsy]

Hope so, Ian. Hope so.

Or should that be hope not? You know what I mean.
