Reading are tipped to be near the playoffs and if I had to bet on either us staying up or Reading getting in the play offs I would go for us to stay up.

The Reading local radio commentator was urging fans to get down to Ladbrokes and bet on Reading leading the league from start to finish

Clearly he though that was a very impressive performance by Reading

Clearly he though that was a very impressive performance by Reading

Did you against a side that is most pundits favourite to finish bottom.

 

[Mustela Furo]

No - hence the smilies !


I think Reading will finish in the wrong half of the table this term.

Kupers - 7 no real chance with the goals

Virgo - 4 Poor Distribution..not really on his game...will get better

Harding - 5 Will learn from mistakes

Butters - 6 Won most things in the air struggled in the heat

Culip - 6 Again slightly of pace but led by example

Currie - 6 Potentialy a good signing if he can get fit

Oatway - 8 Whilst on Sidwell and Harper were not in the game

Nicolas - 7 Good all round display nothing spectacular

Reid - 7 Good distribution floated in and out of the game though

Jarrett - 7 Like the look of him fast direct difficult to knock of the ball distribution needs working on

Molango- 9 Again great potential good finish gave reading all sorts of problems cant wait to see him play upfront with night..

Hinshlewood- 5 struggled until we reverted to 442

Robinson - 7 great goal should have had a second promising signs

Jones - 5 no chance to get into the game.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Kuipers - 5 ( Kicking still very poor, didn't inspire confidence. On other hand first game for ages and none of the goals was his fault)

Virgo - 6 Did ok, passing very poor though.
Cullip - 6 Not at his best but we know will come good.
Butters 5 Worryingly slow - will surely struggle at this level.
Harding - 5 Gave away 3rd and decisive goal but will improve.

Currie - 5 - Hardly in the game but made one or two great passes/crosses. Worth sticking with.

Nicholas - 7 . Worked his socks off. Looks a promising signing
Reid - 6 1 or 2 nice touches but yet to be convinced.
Oatway - 6 Did a good job on Sidwell but can't pass the ball.
Jarrett - 7 Looked very lively, good dribbler, final ball missing but looks like a good signing.
Molano - 8 First touch is poor but great skill and pace, will be a real handful this season. Albion legend in the making.

Robinson 8 - Couldn''t ask anything more from him. Just needs to grow.
Hinshelwood. Did better at right back I thought and made the pass which led to Jake's goal.
Jones - 6 Hardly had time to make an impression.
