Reading v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 27.04.24

[kuriousoranj]

The difference between us and Oxford is they actually go out to win games and they deserve it. Exeter away is a tricky game but they're dominating the match.

 

[tangerinesince88]

That’s been coming

 

[Halifax71]

That was coming.

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

It’s been coming….

 

[premierdream2010]

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

She’s certainly warming up.

 

[BFC4EVA]

Ffs
Bastard
Shit

 

[ForeverTangerine]

Ffs, it was coming though

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

1-1 ffs

 

[Macseasider]

That was coming.

 

[Matesrates]

Well that could be it

 

[1966_and_all_that]

OK. We have to score and Northampton have to score.

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

3 CBs and a reading player unmarked….

 

[TangerineMatt]

 

[Leyland bfc]

Ffs

 

[Sooty59]

Well we’re not going to hang on in this game

 

[glasshalffull]

Shite!

 

[JJpool]

Pathetic play really for the last 20 mins or so.

We wanted a goal to go in around the grounds, just not in our net.

It's looking like being a summary of the season.

 

[TangerineEggCup]

It was coming.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

How apt that our defensive line was all over the place. Been our achilles heel all season. What a shit system.

 

[zigire]

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!!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Tangerine phil]

As it stands down to 8th if it stays that way surely Simon should tell critch this is no way good enough

 

[Always tangerine]

Main striker unmarked. Old habits......

 

[hertfordseasider]

Typical Blackpool this season, it was coming, we have been poor since the goal we aren't good enough because of the tactics. There is no way Critchley is going to get sacked although he really really should be. Another season with that boring tvvat in charge sheesh!

 

[Yarmouth Seasider]

 

[Burt]

Husband ball watching again and 30 secs before that the same thing happened but they didn't receive the ball .

 

[TangerineEggCup]

How apt that our defensive line was all over the place. Been our achilles heel all season. What a shit system.

Yet people constantly defend it.

 

[As_Cold_As_The_Rockies]

No idea what Hubby was doing there, he left his man to give him a free header

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

Typical

 

[JOHNMAJORTOM]

Barnsley winning bastards

 

[EdgeleyTangerine]

No idea what Hubby was doing there, he left his man to give him a free header

We should probably replace him with an actual CB

 

[Tanger]

Half time message is simple. Go out and take it to them.

 

[ForeverTangerine]

Reading looking by far the better side now.
Let’s see if our almighty leader can turn this around in the second half.

 

[Blackpool_Gaz]

If we don't make the play-offs there's only one person to blame.

Players are good enough (see home results). Why weren't we set up to play our away games like our home games?

 

[TangerineArmy]

Don't worry boyz.... time for a genius masterclass positive HT critch team talk coming up.

He will probably tell them others are winning and if we can get a draw then it's a great result for last day

 

[JJpool]

As it stands down to 8th if it stays that way surely Simon should tell critch this is no way good enough

That's where we've been all season so it would be fitting.

 

[Macseasider]

That half of football just about sums up the season. Start games like a scalded cat then just kind of fold into mediocrity.

 

[King Billy]

Said it before they are bottle job merchants.

 

[Matesrates]

Half time message is simple. Go out and take it to them.

Absolutely, nothing to lose now, he should be telling them to throw caution to the wind, press and attack l

 

[tangerinesince88]

Poor half really and some players not playing with the desire needed (CJ, Beesley, Carey, Byers). Still plenty of time to go, don’t think it’s necessarily over yet.

 

[Bloodtangerine]

3 CBs and a reading player unmarked….

His marker ..Husband?..stepped out to try to play offside instead of marking Smith

 

[Sooty59]

We need to come back out all guns blazing in the second half. You never know Northampton may be award a penalty & Oxford may get someone sent off. Or am I just dreaming

 

[tangerine_neil]

Not out of this.
We need to just concentrate on our own match and win this 2nd half.
Lincoln are still drawing and Barnsley are more than capable of throwing it away.

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

Reading looking by far the better side now.
Let’s see if our almighty leader can turn this around in the second half

Doubtful

[TangerineEggCup]

Once we scored he reverted to his old cautious self when playing away from home. It's the reason why we are in this position.

 

[Hazi]

45 mins of twists and turns to come UTMP

 

[Markobfc]

Not holding my breath, we hqve been shit away from home all season and do not deserve playoffs. The last 4 games have papered over the cracks. We have more of the same next season with this chimp in charge

 

[1966_and_all_that]

As it stands down to 8th if it stays that way surely Simon should tell critch this is no way good enough

That's not going to happen.

 

[BestTrip]

Not what we wanted at the half way stage. However 1 goal for us and 1 from Northampton will be enough even if it seems unlikely. Pray to the footballing gods

 

[tangerine_neil]

Forget about Oxford.
It’s all about Lincoln and Barnsley now and us believing again this half.
