MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

[Snowflake Royal]

Crowd's turned.

Yiadom just missed a 5 yard pass and put it out of play.

Don't turn this around and I think it's just a matter of time for Ince based on sound of the mood in the stands.



NGW on.

[Sutekh]

And the Chelsea pensioner at last gets off the pitch.

[Bristol Paul]

absolute rubbish as always. less possession, less shots, less passes in the final third. Against Rotherham. A new season low so far.

[Millsy]

Would never wish injury on any football player. But if this means we can start NGW without paying penalties so be it.

I’ve turned


I can’t justify watching this on Valentine’s Day!

A chick flick it is

[Snowflake Royal]

Hendrick is playing far too far forward, he should be showing in midfield and dictating the game. He's practically playing upfront while Carroll drops deep.

This is terrible.

[Millsy]

Sarr is 50p head.

[Humanistic]

Never have I wanted to bin a formation more than this 5-3-2.

[Orion1871]

Their number 7 is playing well. I bet a team without any decent wingers could do with a player like that. Wonder where he started his career.

[Sutekh]

Same old same old. No damn creativity. Frankly embarrassing. Perhaps Reading should start contemplating a managerial change for the summer.

Yeh I like the look of him

[Bristol Paul]

Absolutely inept so far. No pattern, and Carroll and Long contributing zilch. Yiadom can’t pass 5 yards, Sarr can’t do anything, McIntyre a defender in midfield. Second half can’t be worse than this. Rotherham are useless, but we are worse. It’s days like this I think we deserve relegation.

I am really glad I’m away working. I have seen most home games this season and a few away matches and only Blackburn at home was a decent one to watch.

I’d take 22nd right now and it’s no surprise that we look likely to be involved in a relegation battle again soon. We looked better when we only had 11 first team players to choose from but in all honesty all the teams were just sorting themselves out earlier in the season and we got lucky in some games.

[Snowflake Royal]

Well, if you were looking for a reaction, you haven’t got one.

Yiadom is probably having his worst game of the season. We've got absolutely no midfield. After 8 minutes of pressure at the start of the game that led to nothing, we've not troubled Rotherham at all.

Sarr is trying to pass forward but there's nothing there. And he can't head to save his life.

Whilst they've scored, hit the bar and skied a great chance.

Half time double sub required. Azeez and Fornah on for Yiadom and Long or Carroll. McIntyre back in defende where he belongs.

Yiadom, another player I wouldn’t miss if he disappeared. Never amounted to much at all. Except the Pauno fluke, hasn’t every season he’s played at this level, for either Reading or Barnsley, been pretty much a battle to stay up?

[retro royal]

Dreadful, started fairly well, got deeper and deeper as half went on, and like Saturday we conceed late in a half by inviting pressure on us, we simply don't get enough bodies in box in open play.

Not sure what Hoilett brings, he's not a defender and certainly not a winger right now, I've always had question marks about Yiadom as a modern wingback you have to be able to cross. Ince/Board has done well to get these players through the doors but must use them/kids more effectively. As said previously his squad rotation is abysmal

As for second half, bring on Azeez for Hoilett and Meite for Long, come on you royals

Tbf, save us a lot of misery just taking it now.

Agree, never rated him. Runs around a lot, but gives the ball away constantly and can’t cross for toffee. A division 1 player if ever I’ve seen one.
