Reading Home Opening Day

[Chishandfips]

Was just a bit bored at work and thought I'd read comments from the Reading game on the opening day
In short, no one was impressed by Appleton, Connolly was going to be our Player of the season, Thomson was gash and no one could see where the goals were coming from!

First season without a season ticket since we went back (mainly for work but also I didn't like Appleton or his football) and remember thinking 'it's going to be a long season' and thank Christ I didn't buy a ST.

I had us down for a mid table finish at that point.

Remember we started the game very positive taking the game to them but by half time were looking a bit shakey and ended up clinging on for the 3 points

And Thompson was our only signing (Lyons wasn't coming until January) that shows me what a bunch of clowns the Board were.

Messaged my work colleagues at the final whistle and said we will be relegated and we will be the worst side in the division. Wasn't right. But sadly wasn't wrong enough. Hopefully 2023/24 will be a whole lot better for us all!

Said exactly the same to my mate - agree we started strong but the second half was telling.
No creativity, no shots, defensive - all those things Appleton did the previous time (sometimes to hold on to a 0-0 but with a much weaker squad).
Writing was on the wall and it seems incredible to me that they couldn't see it then.

Don’t even remember the goal to be honest.
Just remember getting neck ache from the second half one way traffic!

You were spot on bearing in mind Wigan had points deducted.
