Reading v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 27.04.24

[A_Tense_Grin]

Should be 1-1. Same old Pool start well and then just a matter of time before opposition score.

 

[ForeverTangerine]

Having to resort to the trusty firestick as I’m ’on call’ standby all weekend but our fans are certainly making some noise.

 

[Wizzerboy]

How are Barnsley getting on

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Joseph isn't adding much at the moment.

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Joseph isn't adding much at the moment.

Only an assist for the goal?

 

[glasshalffull]

Will do well to get three points here. Reading getting right on top now.

 

[tangerinesince88]

Only an assist for the goal?

That was Beesley tbf

 

[JJpool]

We're not looking amazing in the last 15 minutes.

 

[20togo]

Well we always needed others to lose or draw, all we can do is try to win

it is but it should have been so different and that will always be my thoughts about this season.

 

[hertfordseasider]

We have lost control of the game. Need to pick it up and get a second and hope things change elsewhere

 

[cside]

Joseph isn't adding much at the moment.

Apart from the goal assist?

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

That was Beesley tbf

I’m fairly sure it was Joseph?

 

[Macseasider]

Our wing play has been absolutely dire.

 

[premierdream2010]

Northampton keeper should’ve saved that

Yeah I saw that rubbish keeper

 

[Matesrates]

I’m fairly sure it was Joseph?

That’s what bbc says

 

[Mark_GT]

Chisnall is such a pompous buffoon. Prattling on ten minutes after Joseph failed to get his cross in early. If he's on ttv duty next season I'm seriously considering signing up for the FSG

 

[tangerinesince88]

I’m fairly sure it was Joseph?

Fair enough thought it was bees. We aren’t playing great here

Yesh heart sinks when he's on commentary. He clearly knows nothing about football and talks nonsense repeatedly most of the game.

'Coulson puts it upstairs' had me chuckling

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Reading really taking control now

 

[Mark_GT]

'Coulson puts it upstairs' had me chuckling

What about Exford?

 

[philmus]

Reading really taking control now

Don’t worry I am sure the manager will react to that and change the syst….

Oh no, sorry, my mistake

 

[Bigpommo]

I can smell a Reading equaliser coming here (even if it isnt exactly all hands to the pump). Its going to come down Coulsens side…hes getting rinsed

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

Oxford have a penalty …

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Don’t worry I am sure the manager will react to that and change the syst….

Oh no, sorry, my mistake

If Critchley wants to continue this system next season then hopefully we sign some players who can actually play it! Really doesn’t suit the current squad, despite what Critchley thinks

 

[SussexTangerine8888]

2-0 Oxford. Hammer blow really that

 

[Halifax71]

Looks like game over.

 

[bill40]

Shit Exford 2 up

 

[Halifax71]

Northampton may do a smash n grab

 

[mropinion]

Can't see Barnsley not winning now. Either way we need to get control of our game

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Oxford were the only hope. Barnsley won't mess up against Northampton.

Oh well.

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

Oxford 2 up

 

[TangerineEggCup]

That's that. We need to get control of our game because the last 20 minutes has been awful.

 

[TangerineMatt]

Yeah it's over lads

 

[tangerinesince88]

The stats in the Barnsley game are encouraging, they aren’t exactly dominating

 

[groundsman]

Looks like the only hope now rests with Northampton

 

[Tanger]

Ffs how long have you folks been watching football? All it takes is Exeter to sneak one and oxford get nervous. We need to send a signal by getting another goal. Nothing else matters.

 

[tangerinesince88]

Yeah it's over lads

Give over. Why do people feel the need to be so definitive all the time?

 

[Matesrates]

The stats in the Barnsley game are encouraging, they aren’t exactly dominating

Yep, it’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

Anything can happen in football but let’s face it, do we really deserve to go up based on form across the season? Consistently inconsistent!

 

[tangerinesince88]

Joseph has to score that.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Yeah it's over lads

No it's not!

 

[TangerineEggCup]

Ffs how long have you folks been watching football? All it takes is Exeter to sneak one and oxford get nervous. We need to send a signal by getting another goal. Nothing else matters.

Looking at the stats of their match, it looks incredibly unlikely.

 

[Mark_GT]

If our chance finally goes this afternoon I'd be up for a Reading protest just to piss Chisnall off.

 

[glasshalffull]

Joseph needed to take that first time!

 

[JJpool]

This would sum up the season anyway, never quite enough to push into the playoffs.

Let's hope it changes but going to be a big ask and we're not the better side really.

 

[Tanger]

Stats don't matter. Squeaky buns will.

 

[Graves]

Yeah it's over lads

It’s not yet.

 

[Sooty59]

Yeah it's over lads

Not yet

 

[Memphisboy]

It’s over. Critchley should be given his cards at the final whistle. Been a massive failure, biggest squad big budget and he’s been a negative Nellie and buggered the season up boring is all half to death in the process!!!
