classy post when so you have such an easy opportunity to tease.

yes it was only one game, but he was poor and extremely lightweight and won't get anywhere near our first team. He also can't play out wide no matter what it said on official site when he first arrived.

he has been utter **** since coming back into the fold.

utter load of rubbish. Your hatred of the guy seems to have got the better of you. Lallana's terrible cross went miles past him, he turned sprinted and went for a desperate sliding tackle but didn't quite get there. No blame there whatsoever. He didn't have a good game granted,, but you are getting desperate.

he saved from Etuhu and they had a great chance at the start of the second half, Varney looked certain to get a pen in front of the Northam too, but we clearly had more chances. I just felt in the second half they got hold of the game and I got very nervous indeed and at one point would have been happy with a point. Gutted still. Could have dined on that win for years and years...

he scores goals but you have to put them on a plate for him. I think our all round game has suffered since he got in the side. We don't keep the ball well enough. He's so slow he doesn't get to the bounce of the ball or ever forced defenders to **** up clearances. Despite the goals I'm disappointed in his displays, not sure why as I knew that's what we were buying. I said in the pub before the game that if he played **** but grabbed a last minute winner then you'd forget the **** beforehand. He scored twice, we draw and I can't forget the rest.

second half they seemed to grab a lot of second ball and passed through the middle whilst we went long a lot. I certainly felt at the time that they were on the ascendency. A draw seemed about right, but we certainly had more chances.

good assessment. I thought Sharp was one of many reasons why we struggled today. Nothing stuck and he put defenders under no pressure at all. That's Sharp though. He's a goal hanger, nothing more nothing less. Not many options now that Connelly and Lee are injured.

boy Rocha was lucky to stay on the pitch, kicking the ball at fans then slapping Lallana. Just glad Lallana didn't act like a girl and hold his face and/or go down crying.

Spiderman deserved his. Agree with you that I thought he had a reasonable game.

Dive. He went down easy in the first few minutes as well. Preparing himself for the Premiership?

Guly below par, de Ridder no better, Chaplow has been woeful since coming back from injury, Puncheon terrible since coming back, Cork and Morgan both struggled out there. Who said we wouldn't miss Chamberlain? Right midfield needs addressing in the summer.

thought our crowd was decent. Personally I've lost my voice. Very very loud in places. Talking of making them welcome, anyone else notice the groundsman all getting in the way of the skates doing shooting practice in the main goal just prior to going back into the changing rooms. Shame one of those forks didn't find its way into Ashdown's foot.

as opposed to getting our asses kicked 3-0 last last week?

that first foul when I think Allan just hacked one of our players from behind was utter filth and that was 20 seconds after Morgan had been booked as well. No idea why that wasn't a yellow.

Norris was booked for jumping into the crowd. Stupid rule.

he is renown for not making any mistakes but also not never making any top class saves.

Gutted. Waited 7 years for us to turn the tables on them and we go and **** it up in the last minute. A point may have been about right, but we had the game won and let is slip, again. Why didn't we bring Martin on instead of Harding? Was it handball from Kitson from the long ball that led to the Norris goal? It matters not, its gone, we had our chance and now we'll just need to concentrate on not ****ing up the promotion. Yet again we played poorly, hit it long a lot and were second best in midfield too often. I thought Varney, who looked some player, caused us real problems, but other than that they didn't have a lot. We didn't take our chances and only Lallana knows why he didn't shoot rather than try to go round the keeper. Davis 7 one decent save and kicked well Richardson 6 got caught the wrong side of Varney several times, far better than Butterfield last week mind, but his positional play wasn't the best. Like how he gets forward, but it never seems to click with de Ridder Fox 6 solid enough, but how many long balls to no and terrible set pieces? Fonte 7 looked a little nervous at the start but a decent game. Had to win that header at the end and we'd of on, but won many others throughout Jos 7 strong all game, but long balls were terrible Guly 5 Hate how the fans were singing for de Ridder, embarrassed by that, but he didn't have a great game, to be far he didn't see the ball because we bypassed midfield Hammond 6 excellent first half, disappeared in the second Morgan looked a bad knock, sounds like he is out for next few games minimum. Cork 7 worked his socks off, but in possession he took too long. Really got stuck in and there was some niggle with Allan, not seen that nasty side of Cork. Want to see more of it. Lallana 6 Embarrassed by his dive, thought he went down early twice early on as well. Should have scored. Not enough from him, but again we bypassed midfield so often Lambert 7 clearly not fit, looked heavy. Won loads of headers but not sharp enough on the ball Sharp 7 so happy he got his goals, why on earth he was yellow carded for the first celebration is beyond me, but all round play was poor, the ball didn't stick ever and he put no pressure on defenders either. Ball seems to bounced over him all the time. de Ridder 6 never saw the ball, we just don't feed him enough, but when he got his chance he fluffed it Harding not on long Oh how did Allan not get booked for that first kick from behind. He'd of been off as he got a yellow later.

yes you won't get down Britannia but you can probably use the subway instead.

can't be arsed to argue about how good or bad Reading have been. I've not seen them since we played them and they look as good now as they did then. Very strong and possibly too good for us in our own respective forms. If we play our best we can win, but anything below that and we'll have problems.

only watched second half and they have stretched Leeds. I know they only have 10 men but its been one way traffic. Roberts is a real handful and then Kanu can beat a man all ends up. We will have our hands full.

Reading look a bloody good side. Pace and tricks out wide and power with Roberts and Legertwood down the spine. Gonna be a very hard game indeed against them.

noooo

thank ****

Leeds starting to cause a few problems on the break
