Just Got Back from Reading

[Loft23]

Just got back and was shocked at the lack of passion some of the Players showed today. Our Tactics are all wrong and McGhee does not know who to play upfront. Paul Reid and Gary Hart were shocking and Seb Carole looked injured.

For me Colin Kazim-Richards should get a good run in the Starting Line-Up as he seems to be one of very few players who seemed to play with passion today although he must touch up on his finishing when he is put through and has a clear chance!!

Reading Fans weren't great but fair play to them they were better than last August. They have got something to smile about though haven't they.

No matter what happens I will always follow the Albion with passion. But if we lose against Hull, McGhee has to go as we are starting to slip. With only 2 wins in 23 in the League, the 1st Half of the Season couldn't have been much worse in my view.

we were raped - kazim richards is awful when he starts. coming off the bench he offers something though. trouble is we have a severe lack of decent strikers to play with knight to allow richards to come off the bench

and where the f*** was chris mcphee today - at least he would of shown a bit of fight and passion, which is more than can be said for what we had out there today

Of course CKR should get a run in the team, how the hell is a young player meant to be great all the time, it takes time to get used to a new level of football, just look at Zamora at West Ham.
I'm fed up with all the excuses and the constant changes up front.
Let CKR and Leon learn to play with each other and form a decent partnership. Surely thats not asking too much?

This gets better the more I hear

In the seats to the left of us in the corner, sitting next to Kerry.

They are the only 2 Strikers we have that actually have scored recently. We have no one else who can actually score goals.

Then for the teams sake let them have a run of games together.

CKR should get the nod with Knight till our saviour big mac is ready

 

[Dave the OAP]

I was very surpried at the choice of team.

I understand MM said he was playing 3 accross the back, when it appeared from where I was stood it was 5 accross the back , Reid and Harty being wingbacks, who A) are not wingbacks and B) no fecking idea how to play wing back and C) left fecking great holes in the middle.

Who was skinned for the first goal, was it Fructie or Reid, in any case, if you are playinbg three across the back then someone should be covering .....

The game changed on the sending off and then the pen straight after.. We were doing ok up till then but Reading always looked like they could score and we didnt.

I know i have been saying this for a while but we are looking for 8 wins somewhere which will give us momentum.....I cant see where one is coming from let alone 8


BTW I thought Tank was a colossus today!!!.

frutos got done for the goal - just had to laugh as oatway turned it home

it was definently 5 across the back

 

[Del Boy]

I would like to see Knight dropped...


into a more creative midfield role! He doesn't score enough goals but has great ability!!

 

[Dave the OAP]

I couldnt work out what Charlie was trying to do......


I thought he played quite well apart from that

 

[woodster]

didnt go today, so can someone explain why mcphee was left out. at watford and cardiff he looked ok and i think he offers something to the team. beginning to wonder if MM has any idea what is his best team.

having said that reading are the best team in the league and all credit to coppell. he has got together a good bunch of players, shame its reading though.

it appeared as though he fell over the ball and put it home - completely bizare. as for waht balyney was doing for the one when he rushed out, got back, saved and then it went in, either goal 4 or 5, i have no idea

and yes, thought oatway was probably one of the best players out there today

 

[saafend_seagull]

Terrible performance.

El Abd, Butters and CKR were good.

Reid looked worse at right back than he did at left back! Carole looked ineffective, and our passing was AWFUL.

Team for Hull?

Blayney (GK)

Hart (RB)
El Abd (CB)
Butters (CB)
Mayo (LB)

Frutos (LM)
Hammond (CM)
Oatway (CM)
Carole (RM)

CKR (ST)
Knight (ST)

Subs:

Chaigneau, Reid, Nicolas, Jarrett, Robinson

So what if McShane is fit

 

[saafend_seagull]

Didn't realise he was, but El Abd has impressed me.

Damn f***ing straight.

Stop pissing around with the strikers - we surely know these are the best two, and need to be given time to strike up a partnership, rather than being chopped, changed, and pissed about every week. Sort it.

True, but we could be SUNDERLAND
