Reading v Blackpool Official Matchnight Thread 20.11.21

[Chunkylad]

We really have shot ourselves here. Individual mistakes at the back.

We look composed and dangerous going forward yet wide open at the back

 

[SydneyTangerine]

0-2 now

 

[WLDTangerine]

Another shot another goal

Im feeling sorry for those that have gone already.

 

[seasidelytham]

It wasn't a sitter at all

Oh yes it was

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Thank God there's no replays on the red button. That was awful

 

[EagleDay]

Doesn't bode well for Saturday.

 

[Albert Ross]

2 lessons highlighted already from this game…1) ..you can’t make mistakes like this and get away with it 2) you have to take chances when they are presented to you

And 3 stop passing back to the f****g keeper.

 

[SydneyTangerine]

2-0 ..sorry

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

Amazing, dominating the play, looking good going forward, and the poorest defending and keeping you can imagine.

Grimshaw, sorry, shocking again on the floor, why give it Marv there, he did the same on Saturday. But Marv should have rescued it by just knocking it forward.

 

[TangerineAde]

Reading have done f . . . all and they’re two up. Christmas has certainly come early for them. Really not impressed with Reading at all. Anyway, remember B’mouth. C’mon you Pool. No more gifts.

 

[JJpool]

We've passed it like a Championship team, finished and defended like a league 1 team.

 

[Insider]

well we were always gonna get punished one day.

Get Bowler on.

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Grimshaw has played 110 minutes and let in four goals. Are the stats trying to tell us something?

I hope Critch is saving Stuart Moore for Saturday.

[Trying my best not to be grumpy.... but...

 

[62years&counting]

Shambles!!

 

[maxnix]

What one on one with the keeper 5 yards out. Ye youre right…shouodnt expect a championship striker to do better than just blast it right at the keeper rather than compose himself and place it into the corner

 

[seasidelytham]

Reading very happy to let us have possession and then wait for our inevitable mistakes

 

[JJpool]

 

[Halifax71]

And there's no excuse of a free kick like that.

 

[FY5_Seasider]

Just knew we wouldn't get anything here. For some reason Reading really piss me off. An absolute nothing of a football club who we never seem to get anything from when we play them.

 

[cresser]

How did I know that free kick would be shit?

 

[seasidelytham]

Great free kick Keshi

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Anderson - garbage.

 

[Chunkylad]

If we get one we can still rattle them.

 

[CalderwoodCritchleyWon’t]

It wasn't a sitter at all

It was

 

[20togo]

when taking a shot don't lean back. Shiite from Keshi.

 

[Albert Ross]

That would have been over in rugby.

 

[Insider]

Grimshaw doesn't inspire any confidence in his defenders, or me.

 

[JJpool]

So tame the shooting...

 

[Wizzerboy]

Doesn't bode well for Saturday.

Why are we playing reading again?

 

[Albert Ross]

Grimshaw doesn't inspire any confidence in his defenders, or me.

Certainly doesn’t inspire any in me.

 

[20togo]

playing well enough but we need the next goal.

 

[Macseasider]

The defending has been the absolute shits. They should get an absolute rocket for it at half time. Terrible at any level of the game. Gifted 2 goals.

 

[cresser]

Can someone tell Anderson he can pass

 

[Halifax71]

Hopefully the rain will get worse and we get standing water.

 

[Pauls_Boutique]

A few here blaming Grimshaw but Ekpiteta didn’t put a challenge in on Dann for the first goal and never looked in control of the ball for the 2nd.

The guy has played well for us so far this season but has had a shocking 25 minutes.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I absolutely hate Reading, the ground is soulless, we never get anything there and it's the dullest town in the UK.

 

[johnnyb]

Grimshaw doesn't inspire any confidence in his defenders, or me.

Equally I don’t think Grimshaw has any confidence in his defenders, nor should he on this performance

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Mitchell needs to shoot the instant he gets a chance.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Great how it's only taken 25 minutes and two goals for most of you to be slagging the team off left right and centre.

Best supporters in the league?
Do me a favour

 

[JJpool]

Its a joke, we should be pushing for the lead yet have gifted 2 goals.

So annoying as we'd have a great chance at winning this.

Milton Keynes.

 

[johnnyb]

Agreed, he was through yet wanted to take too many touches.

 

[EagleDay]

Why are we playing reading again?

Might as well be, I'm already having nightmares, and I ain't asleep yet!

 

[JJpool]

Need 1 before halftime for me.

 

[TangerineDan]

The only positive I can think of is… let’s hope we are getting all of our mistakes out of our system and learning lessons before Saturday!

 

[johnnyb]

Yes, Ekpiteta having a total ‘mare

 

[hertfordseasider]

Marv's having a shocker

 

[TangerineTed]

The dirty nobbers are losing

 

[maxnix]

Its fair to be miffed when the scoreline doesnt reflect the play. Maybe if the defence didnt piss around with it at the back then they wouldnt get “slagged” off

 

[JJpool]

Got to find a man or have a decent effort there.
