Absolute Shocking

[Skippyjack]

That 2nd half is probably the worst 2nd half under Martin

 

[PSumbler]

Should never not win when you are 4-1 up

Naive play, poor defending and you just knew it was coming

 

[jacabertawe]

They were tired, mun.

Not sure about that really. When we were passing it around from the corner in the 94th I thought we'd ridden it out. Oba should certainly have made it it 5 too. The criminal bit was giving them any sniff whatsoever. Still at least it's given a few wankers a chance to crawl back out from the stones they've been hiding under.

Play off dream over

 

[jacabertawe]

RM disappointed with second half mentality.

If only he'd had a chance to speak to them and shape it.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

It's a really bitter one to take today, we just totally wilted second half.

 

[Pegojack]

I felt Martin surrendered the initiative with his subs second half. When's he going to learn the best form of defence is attack? Piroe was arguing with him about coming off.
Mind you, Oba and Ncham should have put their chances away.

 

[NeathJack]

If only we'd had a pre season.

 

[Longlostjack]

Bit of creativity needed from the bench. Should have switched to four at the back at 2-4 and brought Manning on sooner.

 

[Risc]

Unbelievable how we have c*cked that up.

My thoughts exactly.
When you are sitting on a lead in the dying embers of a game, just sit on it and kill the momentum.
So disappointing

To go back to Monnies post - that was it for me - we were naive in stoppage time and that allowed Reading to get back on the ball

What I dont really understand is that Martin talked about this weekend and needing to use his squad but didnt

7 unbeaten is good but today was two points thrown away

 

[waveydavey]

The last goal was totally shambolic.
With one minute to go they have a throw in 40 yards from our goal. We allow them to receive the ball uncontested in an area where they can send in a cross.
An uncontested header reaches a defender who steers it in without too much of a challenge.
Three areas where our pressure would have disrupted the move, starting with the throw in.
Frankie Burrows would have thrown his hat to the floor...
