They’re not f*cking about this season are they, 3-1 at Blackburn!!
They won't finish in the top 6.
Thumping for QPR at Barnsley, 3-0, Woodrow with another pen for the first goal.
Swansea won to go 2nd. Bad night all round for City.
We looked like a top flight side tonight. No Swift. No Ejaria but we scored four and played some lovely stuff. Armstrong was terrific for Blackburn.
We have some very talented players.
Reading and Swansea, two sh1thole places, suitably matched.
If we get to ten games without a sign of weakness from Reading, I reckon they're going up.
I think it's easy to fall into the trap of reading too much into the tables at the moment, because, although we're almost into November, it's effectively just early September as far as a "normal" season is concerned.
For those looking for the stats: https://twitter.com/Blades_analytic/...85657356718093Reading have had 54 shots this season now.
They have had 28 on target.
They have scored 14 goals.
That's 51.9% of their shots on target
That's 25.9% Conversion rate.
Feel like some context would be good here. It's a small sample size so kinks will iron out BUT league average conversion rates for Championship generally fluctuate between 10-11%. Top sides may be more 14-18%.

That's fine, but how will they cope with a wet Tuesday night at Blackburn ?
They appear to be playing with plenty of pace going forward and with the supporting midfield. This is forcing their opposition backwards.
We have pace in some areas (Ojo, Murphy especially) but are far too slow in committing bodies forward to support.
Whilst I think Reading will be hard topple, I also don't think their defence is that good (they were wobbly when we scored against them)
I already believe teams are showing them too much respect and sitting off them.
