It’s very early days. This start means we won’t get dragged into another relegation battle and have a decent shout at making the play offs. No more than that just yet.
Why have we done so well? We have defended very well but crucially we signed Josh Laurent on a free to play alongside Andy Rinomhota. They protect the back four brilliantly.
Up front Lucas Joao is a top striker at this level. With him our results last season were miles better than when he was injured. He missed much of last season. If he stays fit we should do well because he is exceptional. We have now scored 15 in 8 and conceded just 3 yet we don’t create many chances and that is a concern. The conversion rate right now is extra-ordinary. At some stage that just can’t continue.
Teams are also pressing us too much with a high press. It often works in the first half but teams cannot sustain it in the second half and then we start looking more dangerous.
we've really put the mockers on reading with this thread
Yeah thanks for this thread. The wheels appear to be coming off. The injuries are hurting us now. We don’t have much depth and it’s showing. Their first goal was offside but thereafter we were really poor against average opposition.
Still early days but we badly need the international break.
Come the window those with money will get stronger.
Reading will slip down the league.
If they made top 6 it would be an incredible achievement. Cant see it.
All a bit topsy turvy at the moment, a side that we beat away the other week, a side that didn’t look any great shakes goes and sticks three on the league leaders away
2-0 down at home to Stoke currently.
I would like to personally thank Splott Dai for starting this thread....the ****.
Absolutely abysmal today. We gifted Stoke all three goals with pathetic mistakes. We are on the slide.
For all those posters wanting City to pass it out from the back take a look at the farcical goals Reading conceded today to show what happens when you try and play like Man City but haven’t got players with the ability to do so.
