    This is now very embarassing. Second Saturday in a row we have been outplayed by a League One team.
    Yeah, but you're forgetting that we comfortably beat a League 2 team in midweek  ;)

    We certainly weren’t the best version of ourselves today.

    🤣 great goal but we were asleep there.
    Kaminski at fault yet again .  That must be three or four he’s ballsed up in pre season . 
    Christ knows what Mannion is making of all this. (Well, we do know what he's thinking, and he's right)

    Nice run from Mwamba, but overhits his pass to JRC.

    Are we trying to practice defending corners? Keep giving them away

    Turned it off, there's a lot needed or it's relegation, starting off with flapinski

    First game (cup) next weekend. We seem way off the mark for being competitive to push on from last season. Hoping it's just a fitness / sharpness thing and we'll be ready next week.

    Another blinking Reading corner due to us nawsing it up.

    It's mean making players think there's a forward pass on when JRC is the one who has to run on to it

    We really wanted to practice defending corners today

    People do get far too wound up about preseason games. There’s always very little correlation between how teams play in preseason and how they perform in the actual season

    Ref takes pity on us and blows the full time whistle.

    Again I know it’s only a friendly, and I’m glad it’s over.

    But there should have easily been 5+ minutes added time there.

    Pre season has been so weird, some players in, some out but nothing seems to have been built/developed?
       Has got to be a big concern , really can't see any progress.

    You beat me to it . Perhaps that’s as good as this squad gets .

    Lost count of how many corners we conceded. Defending was very poor...

    Comical number of corners given away needlessly today, sums up the sloppyness of today's performance. So many " nearly " passes in attack, while defensively we've not been good,  and Kaminski hasn't been great either.

    They really looked like they couldn’t be arsed today. Ramsay was by far the worst, but he certainly wasn’t alone.

    Only preseason but there are so many in that squad who are miles off the required standard, and unfortunately as it stands will be playing a large part in our season.

    Biggest issues in our team last season haven't been addressed and we're 14 days out from the league campaign starting.

    Bloody ref blowing up early again…ie the subs n hydration break time not being played…cheated could have won that 4-3 & gave us a much needed confidence boost…😫

    6/5 to be relegated, but Betfair have us at 6/1 to finish bottom. Looks tempting on that performance.
