Reading vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[portlock seagull]

Including nearly 4000 Brighton fans, did they mention that?

Of course not. But it was their second biggest attendance this season. Leeds was a few hundred more apparently.

Started for Leicester, wtf?

Sorry I missed his name on the BBC Sport team sheets. I stand corrected.:

Still unbeaten but the big GUNS stacked up behind us now

Free ranging role behind the a striker. Can go on either wing or run into the box.

The point is I would have a pairing of Hemed & March or Zamora & Baldock, not the pairing of Hemed and Baldock.

If it's a pairing, then he's not a winger is he. If you don't want a winger, fine, but don't say he can be on the wing and part of a strikeforce pairing.

it's coming up to panto season.......'they're behind you' !!!! was it a seven point lead at one stage ??

A draw wasn't a bad result and was a reasonable reflection of the game. We dominated midfield but they looked threatening in attack. We were very dangerous early second half but otherwise didn't threaten enough. We might have sneaked a win but a draw was right

Very similar to palace are Reading fans, they dont turn up unless they are in the premier league and they also bang drums. I bet they are not even grateful that we took numbers to give them a semi respectable gate for a Championship game.

Funniest Reading chant today "where were you when you were shit"

You obviously don't remember Alf Milward and Edgar Chadwick.

 

[StonehamPark]

Could drop to 5th on Tuesday.
Need a win desperately.

I thought we were supposed to be the best team in the division at present going for a top two spot. Not enough wins and way too may draws if that is the case.

The table doesn't lie. On current form we are the best team.
Just need to get a better goal scorer in and will continue to be

All the chasers won though, but no one expected us to be still top at this point of the season.

Birmingham didn't.

And nor did READING obviously

 

[El Turi]

I'll take a point. I'm not sure the change of formation worked though. I think our more defensive line up invited pressure. Blackman looked a very good player although he did throw himself to the floor at every opportunity. Bad mistake by the goal by Stockdale but he made a few good saves before that so he can't be blamed for not taking 3 points.

We could also do with KLL back. Opposition defences are frightened of him, and our recent run of drawing more we win more or less coincides with his injury.

Has there been any update since the quote about him being available for Leeds or Bristol City?

 

[BensGrandad]

I thought we were supposed to be the best team in the division at present going for a top two spot. Not enough wins and way too may draws if that is the case.

The stats suggest we are 7 home games 7 away which needs to equate to 28 points as the formula for promotion and we have 30 points.

It was a good result, but no team would accept that at 78 mins like Bolton when 2-0 ahead.

We have had a few late goals for us this season though, so swings and round abouts.

Eh? We were 2-1 vs Bolton before half time

OK 2-1 up on 94 mins
