The Kraken

His save in the first half, low down to turn it around the post; I wouldn’t consider that routine, I’d say that was an excellent save. His flap at the goal conceded was indeed terrible. Awful.

He has a habit of doing that tbf.

I thought Carragher was talking shite, and also seemingly some bias in it as he kept saying he thought it was similar to the one given against Liverpool today.

Batshit. He wants to drop AA, the league’s second top scorer who also has 5 assists (including 1 today). I think the mad one has got hold of the Wayman account again 😬

Is it amazing? Really? Goalkeepers at any club all over the world have their errors highlighted more than any other position on the pitch. Because they are the last custodian of the goal. So many keepers through history have been critiqued at the highest level because they can make great saves but are also prone to basic errors. This has been happening for decades, I’m amazed you find it amazing.

Definitely, and he absolutely looked like he knew it. A shame as he made one exceptional save and had a number of other good moments. But he had a proper flap in the first half that, while it was called offside, didn’t inspire confidence. Awesome with his feet and doing the sweeper keeper thing, his distribution was very impressive. But he’s just far too prone to a brain fart like at the end, that was a rank bad shot to let in.

Yeah I probably agree with you, strong team and decent squad depth.

If Leicester and Ipswich keep up their form over a whole season they’d have 113 points and 110 points respectively. Both would smash the previous all time record of 106, which has stood for nearly 20 years. Fair play if they can keep it up but I’m expecting at least one of them to flat line a little bit and drop points. Ipswich from the outside seem the most likely, and while there’s no signs of it so far, the championship is a long tough division.

Don’t think we did anywhere near enough today to think “we was robbed”. Very annoying to lose the points due to defender and goalkeeper basic cock ups, mind, but meh. We weren’t ever really all that comfortable all day and just didn’t do enough from an attacking pov to think we’d get that second goal. A point is a point.

As Hammond rightly said on comms…..two errors there, the defender and goalkeeper.

Who is we? I am. Dean Hammond on comms is. Bazunu himself looked like he thought he’d fucked it. You do what you want though.

After all that Baz has a blunder.

Leicester 4-0 and thoroughly on course to break Reading supporters’ hearts by smashing their precious 106 record.

Nice of their keeper to dive out of the way of Che’s shot!

We must be watching a different game, in my one Charles is having a stinker. KWP is not getting much support going forward but when he does it’s the only time we look threatening.

Not sure this set up is working for us. Definitely missing Flynn Downes, and Shea Charles is having a bit of a shocker. Think I’d be hooking Alcaraz and getting on Smallbone, let Aribo get forward a bit more and provide a better shielding for the defence. Not a good half.

Janny B has saved us a few times now.

Awful, got his toblerone boots on by the look of it.

KWP has got no help at all down the right hand side. Fuck me we are sloppy.

Just then.

Bit of a flap from Bazunu there, forwards offside though so wouldn’t have mattered. We finally got into their penalty box!

It’s tidy enough but no chances for either side. All a bit attritional so far.

I think that would be being a bit kind on him. The geezer’s an absolute whopper, always has been.

Why would Che want to leave? 6 months left, can leave on a free and get much more options than having a club pay a fee. Also, why would the club sell him? Stewart is out until February at best and we don’t have anyone else. Its an issue that people seem to have made up in their heads.

Agreed. Gabby Logan is a top class presenter, some of the girls doing match analysis offer some decent info, and who doesn’t love Jules Breach? I’m not a fan of female commentators (just too high pitched) but it must also be said that plenty of the fellas on comms and punditry are crap. I’m a Barry Davis man myself, old school class. Watching the Fa cup draw this weekend, they had Trevor Steven and someone called Jen Beattie drawing the balls out of the bingo machine; Trevor Steven played in 4 finals with Everton, and Jen Beattie has won the women’s FA cup 4 times apparently. And they’re asking her about it, what the magic and history of the FA Cup meant. What she has won is obviously a very honourable achievement, and I wouldn’t at all wish to belittle it; but the women’s FA cup was founded in 1970, its really not a very good comparison comparing it directly with the men’s. I just found it a bit silly.
