Our two wing backs are extremely vulnerable and Reading are getting the ball to Azeez at every opportunity, as he has Eden on toast. Decent turns so far from Isted and Jones.
Ladapo still looking slow and wooden.
Reading the better side and we need to up our game to get something out of this
That's the break. Reading have been the better side for me and unlucky not to have had a penalty. Couple of moments for Charlton but not threatened a great deal.
The sloppiness is very much still there, stupid errors and unable to control the ball or play a simple pass creating trouble for ourselves. Reading controlled most of the game and look like they have more quality around the box. Hoped Jones would magically improve is but it's all still there. Worried about us this season.
Well, where to start. Think T.Watson been awful, neither of our so called wing backs are getting wide enough when we have the ball, Isted has kept us in it. Jones doing well, Gillesphey and Thomas struggling. Ladapo is very poor, takes too long to get a shot off, not sure he brings much, neither does Bakinson. If we stay up this season we need wholesale changes to get near the top six next season. And that's if we stay up.
This back line is only going to get more and more nervy as this game goes on. Can't trust any of them unfortunately.
No idea which Ladapo we've signed but it can't be the one who did so well at this level before. Coventry looks the best of all the new boys but still don't think he's an upgrade on Dobson
I'm pretty sure Gillesphey played in the middle of the back three at Plymouth and you can see why: he does not look comfortable defending in wider positions. But if we're going to play Edun at LWB he's going to leave space in behind him. Would rather see TT left, maybe MG central although he makes me nervous, and REG right.
Was thinking that but Jones has been by far the best of the three.
Lapado, Louie Watson and Tennai Watson are sadly lacking. We have Isted and the back three to thank for being solid at the moment. As for any forward momentum, one shot in 45 should sum it up. 70 % of the game is in Readings favour.

But no goals conceded so far.

Funny old formation we are playing . Looks like a 3322 with Bakinson and Watson behind the front two.
And don't look at the other results. The table looks horrendous atm.

When we were at Wembley 98 and losing a bloke near me shouted "Come on Newton ...suck his eyes out!" and we scored not long after.
Ever since, I mutter that phrase in tense moments as a weird superstition.
Not a common phrase (or is it?) so wonder if you heard it at Wembley too or at the Valley @MrOneLung
