Player Ratings v Reading (a)

[Lethargic]

Away support 10


Home support 1

We counted 3 drums and a trumpet therefore it's got to be a minus score for the home support.

 

[Grombleton]

I wasn't at the game, but a guy i work with (Arsenal fan) said he was really impressed with Ulloa before the red ('a nightmare for Pearce', i think were his words) and said that he thought Lopez had a good game. Obv not seen him that often to know how good/bad he has been this season but he was impressed.

Reading fans, stadium, catering and car park were ****ing DIABOLICAL, as for their team.. Jesus..

We weren't great. We should've taken three points against a vulnerable team though.

PiG- 7- Made decent stops when called upon, don't get the short goal kicks but I guess that's not his decision..

Calde- 7- Solid, as ever.
Greer-7- Same
Upson-7- Same
Ward-5- Good defensively, not good enough going forward.

Andrews-8 MOM- Class act.
Crofts-7- Did well, again, pretty standard solid performance.
JFC-5- Looked unfit, not his fault.

Lopez-4- Worst player on the pitch for me. That chance he missed was embarrassing. Doesn't seem like the same player from last season.
Ulloa- N/A
LuaLua- 6- Adapted well, but never really posed a threat

Barnes-7- Should've come on when Ulloa was sent, or at half-time.

Yes, and to me too. Not back to his best, but slightly sharper. Re JFC, he seemed to keep it simple, short passes and movement. Didn't give the ball away but nothing really going forward.

Only from TV viewing
I thought there were a couple of times ,when we had a breakaway, when he held us and passed passed square or back.
Apart from that he look comfortable in this company and didn't do much wrong (but didn't really create much either)
I also though Dave looked more the part but cannot understand why Crofts is getting such low marks I though he had a really good game.

I am afraid that some of the people who post ratings can be a little biased for or against a player regardless of performance but each to his/her own

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Defensively we were very solid...7s all round

Middle Crofts 7, Lopez 6, JFC 6, Andrews 7

Forward Kazenga 7 (patchy brilliance) Ulloa 8 till so then 4

Barnes 7.5
Buckley 5

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

I won't deny that Spanish Dave didn't have an amazing game yesterday but he took a while to get going last season too. Anyone remember when he hit form?
