turbot honest, I'm not sure I'd agree. But not going to get crabby about it.

[Royal With Cheese]

Cod we just move on from this now?

I'll have to mullet over.

[Longhorn1970]

can see why Reading are struggling, no intensity, trying to play from the back but on today’s evidence not the quality of players to execute the plan. Played into our hands especially as we really seemed up for it

I thought Reading were poor and toothless
Lack of confidence...

A Reading fan said it was the pitch and strong winds today. My view was they was out classed out musseled and out played, but then again I'm a Boro fan.you can't even make it up

I just wish we'd bloody won today with such a good opportunity. I didn't once think we'd lose that today and forgot we were laying a championship side. Felt like we were playing a side below us in the league that we should have beaten but didn't create enough clear chances.

Can't argue with any of that.

I came away wishing I was a Stevenage fan and could watch that level of desire and aggression and will to win every week

The basics you mean ..

[bcubed]

Indeed

The basics from a fans perspective anyway

[Dick Habbin's hairdo]

Well, that performance was a load of cod scallop!

[Sutekh]

Well, that performance was a load of cod scallop!

And on Saturday it’s off to Hull as Reading attempt to refloat their boat. Let’s hope we have a whale of a time and FINish the season strongly

[Maneki Neko]

It's been a while since we cared what anyone else thought

I've been watching Villa for more than 20 years now, I've seen some batterings (mainly with us on the receiving end), I've seen us play that awful Derby team in the Premier League, I've seen the likes of Hereford, Tranmere, Chester, Darlington, Notts County come here, I've seen part timers from Iceland play in a dead rubber in the UEFA Cup qualifying rounds... yet I've never seen a team with such a lack of ambition and quality as Reading tonight.

Absolutely oxf*rd awful. And Tyler Blackett, oxf*rd me sideways

The cold reality is this is a poor quality squad. Our central midfielders are feeble with a complete lack of physicality and little creativity. Yes Van Den Berg is physical but is painfully slow and in reality belongs in the lower divisions. Our defence is error prone and our striker options threadbare.
We just have to hope that Barnsley screw up from here because it’s us or them for 22nd spot in my view.

There have been so many poor signings. Edwards, Blackett, Van Den Berg, Aluko, Popa, Beerens etc. Our loan signings especially Martin have been dire. Stam, Tevreden and Gourlay should hang their heads in shame.

i think its between us Barnsley and Bolton. and they still have to play each other. its a terribly depressing place we find ourselves in right now.

[CountryRoyal]

Reading made Sunderland look hard to beat.

Easiest game this season

Reading were shocking worst team who have been VP this season,got abit boring to the end with the pure domination.

[FiNeRaIn]

Not the smartest of individuals seeing as we were down to 10 men from the 30th minute. Wouldn't care a jot what they think as the sending off made the game irrelevant from that moment.

Not often I find myself agreeing with you but this time you have it spot on. 0-0 up until half time, including 15 mins down to 10 men. Imagine Villa got a rocket at half time and after our exertion on Friday, with precisely fck all actual confidence in ourselves, the result really was an inevitability.

[royalsteve]

Villa fans clearly have short memories. At the beginning of the season we battered them when they had 11 players. 2-1 flattered them, should've be 5-0. They were the worst championship side I've seen this season.

What did they expect our team have zero confidence they are riding high, and our team have played twice in 3 days with 10 players.

I think this is pinned remark that this dull-witted guy dishes out a few times every season .Has done in the past and will in the future. So boringly obvious.
