Outside of the youngsters Jones is the player he doesn’t want to use. I thought he’d have a part to play this season but he doesn’t rate him at all.

After the game did anybody else hear Oggy say “I don’t think goalscoring has been the issue this season” even Clive was speechless

As I sip my cocktail in sunny Florida it's good to see us win away and get ourselves back in the playoff race.
Performances are jusged on points collected. Win away and it can't be all bad.
February is a defining month to get back in the hunt and a playoff place. Other teams around us play each other at some point this month while on paper we have a great opportunity to make those games in hand count.
Cheers me dears!

He said it Tuesday as well, he thinks we've conceded too many, I think.he said there were only 7 or so who'd scored more. I didn't check if he was rightAfter the game did anybody else hear Oggy say “I don’t think goalscoring has been the issue this season” even Clive was speechless
I think he often gets subs wrong but today there was very little he could do and think he got it pretty spot on. I wouldve brought Fadz on for Rose at HT as felt we needed a bit more control at the back and a bit of leadership but then Rose went and scored so cant complain

I'm very happy with the 3 pts even though we played badly, I'm not sure where you've got that from.
I can't tell you how the goals were scored against Reading, but having lost 7 on the bounce coming into this game isn't exactly the hallmark of a quality team. Frankly I don't really care how other teams scored against them, what I do care about and can comment on is our decision making in the final 3rd.
We got a huge let off today and I'm pretty sure Robins will probably tell the lads the same and that if we want to push for playoffs we are going to need to improve in certain areas of our game, one of which is decision making in final 3rd and capitalising on more of the chances we create.
I hope we can kick on now and get ourselves out of this little rut of form we have been in, but to do so we will need to be better as we probably wont get the rub of the green, like today, against better/ in form teams.

Game was a rollercoaster, we didn't play well but took the point's, I'll take that every week.
Probably because our squad is threadbare and the list of players we can trust to steer us through close games isn’t as long as our list of substitutes.
Gyokeres was our only attacking outlet for most of the game and was doing a phenomenal job of holding the ball up against the Reading back line. Asking Tavares to do that on his own would have been a disaster.

It wouldn’t look as bad if both Waghorn and Godden were fit though
I mean….sure. But I’m not sure why that means we should make bad decisions like subbing in a kid from Rochdale if this is the case.

That's not the position where we have problems.

Well we did today, given how many minutes Gyo has played recently

Sat in the home end today, which I didn’t enjoy. Poor performance but 3 points.
And you think Tavares is the answer to that? Very strange.

I’m not joking, there’s not once I can recall him saying he’s actually watched the game in any form. The most recent example being where he said he wasn’t at work but didn’t watch the game or even listen to it on CWR but instead followed it by watching the live commentary updates on the BBC website! And he had the cheek to ring up and say we should be playing two up top!

Evening Oggy! Apologies, thought it was relevant to the reflections on the match thread.
I know social media has been alight with complaints about the performance but I really don’t care. We have won and didn’t get the ‘best team we have played’ platitudes!
I’m referring to your multiple posts in this thread where you’re suggesting that Tavares should have come on for Gyokeres. Or are you backtracking on that now?

Yep. we should have bought another striker to go with Gyo, Waghorn, Godden and Walker, and another attacking midfielder to go with etc etc We have players on contracts, and until we can shift one or two on the periiphery, we have to be patient. Nothing to do with being shafted by the owners (and no I don't like them).
