Didn't see the match so dropped in to see how we did in the 0-0, and surprised by how annoyed alot of people were after it.
26-6 in chances, sounds like a game from the Daglish era when we dominated shitloads of games and either the opposition woodwork or keeper were performing miracles. But the 'keeper was unbeatable' sh*te never washes, he can only save what he can reach, at the end of the day if you fluff a whole pile of chances, you need to look at why YOU have done that, not how great the keeper was.
It's no coincidence that a bit of a dip in form for Suarez is coinciding with a poor run, we depend too much on the guy. He HAS to stay.
And if there's no urgency, its partly we've feck all to play for, though this should be no excuse for a pro and also there is not enough competition for places with players knowing there's no-one really breathing down their necks.
Know Reading are a bag of sh*te but there isn't much left to play for, we'll give the lads good support until season end, but thoughts will turn to the summer and what money BR will get and how he'll spend it. Patience is starting to wear a bit thin, he's going to have to make measureable progress next season, so has to do alot better in the market than he did last year. Maybe I have a low bar, but for me that is still being in the hunt for top4 come final games of next season. Cups a bonus, league for me is where its at.
If BR can wake the boys up and finish out with a few wins, he can point to an improved points total on last season and take a bit of pressure off himself going into the break, so I think he'll definately be aiming for that
