PEARCEY Lol at the "We're in the right side of the stand " followed by "We're in the left side of the stand" chants today. Bet that hasn't been sung much this season.

"We're the right side, We're the right side. We're the right side of the stand" etc



Oh I was close. Hadn't heard the chant before.

PLOLastic.

fcuking terrible Reading. Orange coat stewards are a bunch of tw@ts took my truncheon off me :(

Reading were very poor again. Coventry quicker and stronger (worryingly just like Leeds and Sheffield Utd). If it wasn't for Feds, who was absolutely superb, we'd have lost by at least 2-0. Most players look very tired (leggy as they say). Just praying we can pick it up for the play-offs but it doesn't feel good.

Big support today, looked more than the 2879 given by the OS, I bet we dont get 1200 at the away leg in Swansea.

Presumably Lower West was the geezer dressed as a Policeman carrying an inflatable crocodile out of the game.

Absolutely dire game today - they could have had a hatful - we had maybe 2 clear chances all game? I expected the players to come out for today's game really fired up - using it as a practice match for the play offs - instead I saw, yet again, disinterest, not watching the ball, not being able to pass the ball around, not being able to contain the ball when it came to most players, no passion, no grit.

IF we continue to "play" like that in the play-offs, we'll be absolutely ripped to shreds. We definitely missed Kebe - but, goalkeepers apart, EVERYONE needs to step up their game.

Did Big Foot get chucked out because he refused to sit down?

Unless there was another policemen then yes. But it was a dinosaur, and some little kids dad told him to put it down, so i confiscated it from him, telling them i was an officer of the law and it was in safe hands.

Paper said we had six shots on target? Missed that.
Personally I was bored and cold in a lifeless stadium. Dull, Dull, game
Atmosphere was rocking to start. Then the game started.

I have been there three times, seen two nil nils, I think we might have won on one visit but its such a boring place I cant even remember it.

To summarise.
I am not very optimistic for our chances in the play offs.
Our last few games have been at best moribund :|

Great to see all the inflatables at the start. The atmosphere was great. Obviously the atmosphere dulled a bit when the game started as Reading did nothing with the ball.

What was all the trouble at the bottom of the stand?

The atmosphere did dip markedly once the game started. Says it all really. Apart from a couple of efforts in the first half we didn't test their keeper. I didn't understand why Harte didn't have a crack at goal from the free-kick near the end. Instead the ball was passed short to him and he started trying to beat players. Daft given his ability from free-kicks.
