S22/23 The Official Reading FC v Swansea City FC EFL Championship Match Thread

[LoyalSwan]

Game is restarting which is usually a better sign that whatever is wrong the fan is OK

Hang on FFS, Cooper should have put us one up and Piroe missed a sitter, Benda the fans favourite cocked up with a weak punch, don’t see how that’s Martins fault

Looks like someone has taken ill

Hope that they are ok. Medical teams still with them apparently.

Our set piece coach is top class( for the opposition) Cant defend set pieces and cant score with them.

Wuss will be chuffed with this

Why do we keep overhitting free kicks? What a waste. Why can't a highly paid professional footballer put a free kick somewhere into the danger area, instead of booting it straight out of play? FOR FECK'S SAKE SORT IT OUT, MARTIN!!!!!

That’s enough for me, I’m off to read the smart meter.

Another 700 pass 75%+ possession borefest on the cards...

334 passes and 75% possession so far, looking good

It’s so predictable isn’t it? Pass it around for 45 minutes, miss a few easy chances, then falling behind to a set piece. Feels like it’s been every game we’ve played for the last few months…except Norwich because we didn’t get the chance to make any passes before they scored.

Joe Allen piss poor and the ref a c**t

Was a sentimental buy. Best years well behind him. Done nothing for his reputation coming back. Sad.

Absolutely, you’re spot on. Too many people blinded by their hate for RM.

Overall first half thoughts:

Jay showing that he isn't an attacking midfielder and Sorinola has been way too quiet in an attacking sense.
Penalty was beyond soft, the ball wasn't even in play yet when Carroll went down but that doesn't excuse absurd defending by Jay.

Oli and Joel should have done better with two clear cut chances but all in all considering how much of the ball we have had the number of chances we have created is just not good enough.

Changes needed at half time to hook Jay and Sorinola are desperately needed. Oko Flex would tear this left back a new one especially since Ince is not giving him any defensive support.

Boy of 15 ish taken down the steps by us on a chair type stretcher. Pale as anything but conscious and with it.

Which is more depressing.

That’s the problem isn’t it “ missed a few easy chances “ piss poor from Benda, c’mon let’s call it as it is not go on some managerial witch hunt.
