Ref oops
Ref oopsWas it the keeper, or the ref ?
Sheaf coming out of midfield did leave a hole there which Reading certainly exploited a bit with there superb number 10 John Swift bloody good player ex Chelsea too !! if we had a spare million or two I’d look at him for our midfield. That gap gave them the space to attack our back line and I thought Sheaf stood up to it well considering.
All about opinions but thought he was quiet, particularly the first half.O Hare quiet? He was involved in everything.
Da Costa was solid enough yesterday
We have more bars to visit in and around the ground than we have ever had since leaving HR
On a plus note the purity bar was open yesterday, the negative is i didn't realise until i went up to my seat just before kick off.Great performance and atmosphere yesterday.
Sheaf was class, although no one had a bad game, even if O’Hare was a little quiet. Da Costa is still a liability though!
Seem to have a really tight squad group and having the fans back appears to have really galvanised them.
My only gripe is, is there any chance they could open a few more bars? Nightmare getting a beer!
He doesn't seem to know what he's meant to do when he picks up the ball in the opposing third. Not sure when to take a man on, or hit the cross, or lay off the ball to the extent where he stands there almost hoping that someone will tell him. He works hard though and you can see he beats himself up when he makes a mistake.
Really think one of the coaches needs to put in some individual training time with him to get these fundamentals onboard as for all my faults I still see a player in there
The lack of faith shown in Pask has been slightly puzzling to me when compared to Da Costa
Swift is quality and by far their best playerSwift was bang average yet again
16,464 (1310 Away Fans)Guys what was the official attendance?
Guys what was the official attendance?
Or not wanting to risk Pask getting injured if there is a chance of moving him on in this window?Agreed, I think there are attributes to be developed there! His performances are not great though.
I don’t think it’s a faith issue - last season MR would’ve started Pask rather than DaCosta. Probably a falling out.
I know he can't do it every week, but it should go down and the best cameo at centre half ever. Was unreal.
manager Veljko Paunovic told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"It's a difficult loss. We played until the last second a pretty mature and good game.
"The first half went our way and, in the second half, we recomposed ourselves after their goal. We had a couple of situations we could have affected better but we lacked clarity in the final third and the final product.
"The last second is the only thing and I am very sorry because the guys fought very hard, very well. Not only against the team in front of us but against very suspicious officiating."
clearly not watching the game that took place at the CBS Arena. Everybody else at fault for the poor team performance he managed.
They got exactly what their time wasting deserved, nothing. Difficult to conclude that they were hard done to by the referee over the whole game.

Nothing club
oxf*rd fans
oxf*rd away fans
Boring irrelevant never won oxf*rd all 3 years in the top flight blurts .
Cheers for the 3
They've done sod all but dropped to league 2 in the last 25 years.
They probably ought to look at a map if they think we are in the East Midlands.Well quite. I was a young man when Coventry were half decent for a season so that is saying something.
It’s saying they’re shit and have been for fcuking years.
Sort it out Pauno, losing to East Midlands shit like this.
I've just been browsing their forum. My goodness are they bitter. Absolutely great. If fans are starting to hate us we're going places.
PUSB
I would say the same of both Forest and Barnsley so far. The standard of football in the league is overhyped at times, many teams play shocking football.I was thinking about how shit their time wasting tactics are.
As annoying as MR is when we go one up putting men back behind the ball we never go somewhere and delay and time waste and feign injury when it's still a draw. I would get pissed off paying my money to have to watch the sort of game Reading serve up.
For their goal kicks he was positioned way up almost in line with the box while Maatsen was on the halfway line. I find it hard to believe he was really instructed to press that high
Maatsen did the same against Blackpool with JCS basically playing LB, Dabo was over to play RB. I think he was instructed to do that. I think he’s got to that point where everything is questioned and the worst assumed now.
Otis has booked a whole train and a hotel!Thought I’d have a cheeky wager on us sneaking into top six only to find the odds are just 7/2 now. I will be disappointed if Otis hasn’t started buying train tickets.
He'll be asking Dabo to pull it.Otis has booked a whole train and a hotel!
Insignificant club that know one cares about and have never won fck all in their history with a fan base on par with MK Dons.Right, enough of fuckin Reading......................we've beat the fuckers so leave 'em behind and move on.
we've used 30 pages, they've got 9 tells you everything about them.
Swift is quality and by far their best player
ironic we scored in the time the ref added on because he went over to talk to the manager and trainer and book them both. Good job it was not the fat coach driver (Evans Gillingham) as we would still be playing now!And then if you add on their coach arguing with ref and getting a booking you are well over 9 and Half mins. Time for us to have got a third

I think its called Shithousery at its bestExactly this. I thought their defence played well…lots of interceptions and challenges…otherwise it would easily have been 5 or more. But outside of their half Reading were atrocious and didn’t trouble Moore at all. Their one decent chance was the penalty given to them by a poor ball from Hamer and an unnecessary challenge from Dabo. As for the extra time added…if your coach doesn’t argue with the ref, if you take a free kick instead of waiting for the ref to walk and retrieve ball, if your subs leave the field in quick time and not waste as much as they dare…..then you go into the dressing room at 1-1 having gained an undeserved point. But with all the shenanigans Reading got exactly what they deserved…a big round zero

Just watched back the added time listening to their commentary. Plenty of times their commentators were urging their lot to waste time...then blurbed like toddlers at the additional time added. Laugh? I nearly brought a round.ironic we scored in the time the ref added on because he went over to talk to the manager and trainer and book them both. Good job it was not the fat coach driver (Evans Gillingham) as we would still be playing now!
I hate the way that some teams play, the blatant frustrating time wasting,, the idea of rotation fouling, the take one for the team mentality. Forest, Barnsley and Reading are all guilty of this and I really feel something has to change to stop teams ‘managing games’. Let’s not kid ourselves but we do this to, maybe not as blatantly as the three teams mentioned, but we do.Insignificant club that know one cares about and have never won fck all in their history with a fan base on par with MK Dons.
I missed the game why did the new man from Chelsea not play? We really seem to struggle with numbers at centre back.
