Yeah, crazy, Husband shouldn't have been on the pitch because Thomas had frustrated so much. If we'd kept running at him he'd definitely have walked. Thomas is our best player, despite his frustrating lack of end product.
We should play them on the wings.Too many fairies in the team.
You get a like there for the phrase 'leg him off'We’ve got to find some way out of this deal to sign Chaplin in January, lost patience with him weeks ago and not sure how much of him I can put up with, yes he’s won us points with the odd goal but he’s lost us just as many points surely with his misses.
No doubt they’ll be people on here tonight saying we should give him more time but if weren’t serious about this play off chase then we can’t give him much more chance before we leg him off.
Reading fans not pleased with McNulty
It's getting poor now. Keep making excuses for cup line ups or whatever but we are failing right now. Hiwula, JCH, Bakayoko, Chaplin......failing ! Sloppy goals, shit keeper as a rule, weak midfield. Things can change quickly of course but right now we are slipping badly.
Think the scapegoating of Chaplin is wankerish. Yes he missed the pen but he was involved in most of our decent bits of football. Same simpletons who had it in for McNulty.
Never laughed at anyone, but you and I both know some posters dismissed players after just 2 or 3 games.Still laughing at posters who said a lot of the new signings were shite?
If Thomas could shoot on target consistently i would be tempted to put him up front in place of Chaplin for a run of games.
Fuck knows to be honest!!But then who'd be providing the chances for him?

Pretty much every game this season can be summed up with
"we should've been 2 or 3 up by half time but didn't make chances count and ended up losing or drawing late"
Totally agree. It's all a bit silly.Think the scapegoating of Chaplin is wankerish. Yes he missed the pen but he was involved in most of our decent bits of football. Same simpletons who had it in for McNulty.
None as clear as a penalty or Chaplin's in the first half.Totally agree. It's all about silly.
Thomas has been incredibly wasteful with som absolutely fantastic chances this season. JCH has been wasteful and Hiwula, especially wasteful too.
It's a shared problem and we can't just point the finger at Conor Chaplin.
I'm not sure, McNulty had more about him.
Chaplin also missed the sitter that Thomas put on him.
Still nowhere near as easy as Chaplin'sHiwula's chance in the first half was golden,GOLDEN
I reckon....The problem is he’s been signed for a big fee by our standards.
Robins has hung his hat on him and he’s s development player really.
Why robins spent nearly a million on him, Hiwula and Bakayoko should be questioned.
It should. Non of them have proved to be of anything like their supposed worth so far.The problem is he’s been signed for a big fee by our standards.

I’d have him back here from Jan
How much time though? That's the thing.Chaplin ‘needs time’ that we haven’t got if we want to push for the playoff spots. We need a striker in the first team that can convert when the opportunities arise. We can’t expect to make a push if we’re affording a project player a first team spot. That said, we don’t have a proven striker in the squad....and it’s not because MR wasn’t backed.
Very poor second half. Although quite a few of that team couldn't argue if they were dropped next game with the weekend off by the time we play again it'll have been forgotten a bit and MR will get away with picking the same lot again.
Be interesting to hear MR's comments after the game - if Baka had had the game Chaplin just had he'd be tearing him a new one.
Husband should've gone at least twice in that game and the ref bottled it, but as has been mentioned we should've been getting Thomas to terrorise him constantly instead of sporadically.
Bakayoko did more on Friday that jch has done for a few games. Robins doesn't seem to like him.It should. Non of them have proved to be of anything like their supposed worth so far.
If they are work in progress, then fine, but three of them all at the same time?
Didn't watch tonight's game, but Thomas has had a number of one on ones hasn't he?None as clear as a penalty or Chaplin's in the first half.

Yep, McNulty was playing well but it just wasn't running for him. Biamou helped McNulty no end when he came in though.
