wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Good first half, would love it if we shut them out and kept this result. Assombalonga sounds like he's been a nuisance, ideal trait for a no 9. Much more involved today than he has been recently. Him and Braithwaite keeping the pressure on their back 4 and it's a good job because that's where the ball has spent a lot of time whilst in their possession. Reading can barely get out of their half and we've made sure that's the case often enough. All it takes is one chance at this scoreline though and it could be 1-1. A second goal is a must.

To add to this Assombalonga is basically the entire reason McShane is throwing a paddy any time the ball comes towards him, he just can't handle him at all. McShane won a foul at the end of the half there and celebrated like a goal had gone in with a roar and a full arm fist pump. Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 2 chances one on target for us and reading had 2 chances none on target. safe to say utter garbage match. must improve here. we winning but need to cause reading more trouble or it'll end up 1-1 probably.

boroinbishop 65 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Doing well with the pressing and not letting them play but we have be better on the ball if we're to create chances Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Salford goalkeeper Crocombe was sent off for urinating during the game Go on then who's going to say it... :D Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Think it says a lot that the majority of the ball that I remember Aluko getting was in the centre circle. 2nd half could be a different story. Hopefully we start the second half well and get a hold on the game again. Link to post Share on other sites

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 1-0 leads dont mean a win these days, plenty of reason to be concerned. starting the second half nervy and you can see why. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Reading have us basically pinned in our own box and are cutting through us like butter. Luckily they're even worse than we are at actually creating a chance out of it once they get there. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Fabio is such a bad defender it's almost criminal. Most of the time he has no idea where the ball or his opponent is. The will score from our left. Link to post Share on other sites
