Have you ever seen a player so consistently switched off?

Meite used to do this too, but at least I got the sense he was trying, he just wasn't the player he used to be.

Osho's whole attitude and game is crap. I'd say he's the only one that has to come off at half time, I'd give the others 15 more minutes or it puts Reading at a massive momentum advantage (I think back to that Huddersfield game we won 4-0, where they brought on three at half-time and we were in cruise control).

If Osho was a boxer he would have been knocked out within 2 mins of the first round.

Fish on for Osho. Glad BBM isn't totally insane.

Kelly is ineffective to say the least

When we are two down?

At least he got the signing of Trott right.
Could easily be three.

Osho was bad enough to be off at half-time. The others aren't quite that bad, you're basically surrendering all substitution momentum to Reading at that point if you take off a ton of players.

You can get away with that kind of..... "Oh, sh*t! What have I just done" kind of faux smile... once.
But now it's becoming annoying.

Kellyman class :hehe:

A bad mistake from the Reading keeper gets us level. Kellyman G, Kpakio A.

fantastic team...i never doubted them :P

I didnt think it was possible but Salech is on his arse as much as Etete ever was

Yeah, it's been strange to see Salech diminish so much from last season, really thought he'd tear up League One. Robinson has been a pleasant surprise so far this season though, thought he'd be one of the players gone in the summer.

I can't quite put my finger on why Salech seems to get nothing from the officials after seemingly being fouled time and time again.
It is happening every single game.
Shirley they all can't be in cahoots.

Whatever the reason I'm getting a bit pissed watching him.
Is he not that good after seemingly looking a real find initially :shrug:

I think it's the rough and tumble style of the division. Salech, like Ashford, is one of those players who probably looks better playing games of finesse against Championship teams as opposed to the hard-headed style of League 1 and 2.

happy for salech and isaak

BRILLIANT from Kpakio there. Lovely finish from Salech too.

Let's take this game by the throat!

I spoke too soon, great positioning, but Kpakio with a superb ball there. Probably my MOTM, given I think Trott maybe could have saved that Reading goal, but it's close.

If we get crosses into the box he scores goals.

Me too. Your point was valid though :thumbup:

Can we keep calling players shite? Seems to be working

I would definitely like to see more crosses, as has been mentioned by many before on here, that's for sure.
I also agree with Coyote, the lower league officials seem to let a lot more of the "physical" side go.

Fish n chips

Far too cute by Salech there. Used a seasons worth of luck in the last two games.

Fekin ell, Fish off the line fantastic save!!
Terrible defending again mind.

Go Fish!

When Lawlor is back, they need to start as many games as possible. Chambers can CDM and rotate back to CB if Lawlor or Fish need to come off.

Osho needs to get his shit together, and maybe he can sub for Bagan in a wing-back position.

Fantastic stop from Billy The Fish.
He shouldn’t be dropped again.
Defence was solid with him and Lawlor.

This is do my fuvking head in

Have got to do a better job keeping the ball in their half, obvious goal coming on the break here if we keep losing the ball and letting them counter with 7 or 8 men in the other half.

TROTT!!!!

Trott again 👏 👏 👏

Trott is immense!
