Not been impressed with us in that half.
But Reading will be massively frustrated that for all their possession, it’s us that have had the best chances.5 -
HT 0-0...started as expected, and also finished as expected, we will win this second half Reading have shot their bolt already...2
-
Big improvements needed second half. If we can make it to 60 mins at 0-0 I’ll be confident of a win.2
-
Feels rather like our previous games so far this season, where we don’t necessarily look at it - but yet have created the best chances.1
-
All square at half time. We haven’t been at our best. It we’ve had the better chances. Should’ve taken at least one of those chances. Defensively sound. Mannion hasn’t had a shot of note to save. All to play for … COYA1
-
A pretty poor half going forward but we probably should be 1-0 up.
Defensively excellent again. Just don't give them an inch.3 -
Happy for it to be 0-0 in that half... Reading haven't really threatened Mannion though - We've looked better since the terrible Mannion injury, credit to him to be able to keep going after that lengthy treatment8
-
Not a great half tbh, defence solid again though and Mannion hasn't had to make a save of note. Docherty done brilliant for that chance at the end of the half.
Might need to tweek a few things second half.1 -
Actually promising.
We didnot concede a genuine chance and had the 2 best chances.
Berry could easily have scored there.

Feels like changes needed but not sure who. Midfield growing into the game and TC being a nuisance. Ahadme the obvious option but we need the physical presence and it’s too early for Aneke1

Substitutes will be key again today, with both teams using a lot of energy pressing.
We've got the likes of Anderson - A.Campbell - Aneke - Godden - Kanu who we can bring on to really push Reading that little bit more with fresh legs... Who do they have?1 -
Defended well, but some of our passing has been awful and I don't feel we've pressed so well as recently. Gillesphey has been the stand out player for me so far.4

Think Brownie might have a point - Reading are a young side. Will they crumble under adversity like Charlton of old?3
-
Not a great half from us but not troubled really. I think we are going to win this with a late goal splurge once the finishers come on2

Missing Fraser today24

Possession: Reading 66%, us 34%0

Reading fan on Charlton Live said their team tends to fade from 75 mins onwards… would imagine it’s a mix of their team being young and keen to get amongst it, without a bench full of players they can call on to back it up afterwardscafcnick1992 said:Think Brownie might have a point - Reading are a young side.

Not over yet but just as many have predicted, goals are going to be hard to come by. I’m not sure that being difficult to beat is going to be enough over the course of the season. We’ll need to find some goals from somewhere. I fear for us when we go a goal down.3

Plenty of time over the course of the season to work on how to attack... Am confident based on how difficult we are to deal with defensively - Either way there is going to come a point where we'll draw / lose this season, just need to hope its never a regular thing.ShootersHillGuru said:Not over yet but just as many have predicted, goals are going to be hard to come by.

I know its hard but we have to trust the process. Especially away from home, we are following a very clear and consistent game plan and it is yielding results - things have followed the game plan today and whether we like it or not I don't see that changing whilst it is being effective.ShootersHillGuru said:Not over yet but just as many have predicted, goals are going to be hard to come by.

Not watching today, but fairly confident our stronger bench and better fitness will have an impact after 60 minutes.3
-
We really needed another CM. Anderson is currently nowhere near good enough to be our rotation option for berry.3
-
Might be the perfect type of match for Karoy, with Midfield just being a mess of a energetic battle1
-
That's a big shout by Jones, presume that it's more pressing energy favoured over the goal threat of BerryCallumcafc said:Berry off Anderson on1 -
Early cross into the box from Anderson, goes for a Goal Kick.1
-
Different types of players. Anderson gives us exactly what we need against this Reading teamarny23394 said:We really needed another CM. Anderson is currently nowhere near good enough to be our rotation option for berry.4 -
Berry getting his guaranteed yellow has to go off and perhaps leave out starting 11 until he can learn to stop the yellow cards3
