You were poor last night, but you've mainly been better than Sheff Utd this season. So it's time for you to sort yourselves out and start scoring goals when you're on top. I think you can do it, but already it's an uphill task. Good luck with it.

Watford have been screwed over far more, don't try and lie. They play a more effective type of football and miss the finishing touches, and end up losing.
It's also down to Colin, and I know your views on him. Seeing as he hates Reading, I'd like to see him fail.

It is though, they've made chances all season.

But it means the way they play is effective if they're making chances, their strikers just need more time down the training ground.

Maybe they need new strikers...It's not as though the strikers have been playing for a couple weeks. These are pros who have been playing for 10/15 years etc. I would have thought they would have mastered the art of putting the ball in the back of the net. |

I think maybe we have been unluckier, where we have been on top in games but not been able to kill the opposition off. |

With King out we only have Henderson (crap imo, but a hard worker) & Priskin who needs to settle in and get some games. So we def need to bring in ppl come January. Gonna be a long struggle as it always was. |

Heres a split of first halves v second halves: P-----W---D ---L-----F-----A 1H 14-----3----8----3----4-----6 2H 14-----1----6----7----6----14 Very poor second halves ie late goals ,tiredness, weak subs to put on & lack of concentration required. 10 goals(inc.2OG) in 14 games. Our strikers aren't putting chances away inc the spectacular misses by Smith & Henderson that might have secured 6 points we end up with 2. Defensively sound. Take away the 0-3 & 0-4 reverses against Woolwich & Crimski. Goals conceded in last 5 minutes of play a real killer three.Takes away three points . Penalties for 0 penalties against 3. Of these only the Portsmouth one is a fair decision while we have had a total of 4 cast iron on replay evidence not given 2 v Portsmouth 1 v Everton & 1 v Sheffield Utd. So in summary poor finishing & poor refereeing decisions have cost us dear otherwise we would be in mid table.  The teams above up to mid table aren't that much better so theres still hope. Just got to hang in there & not lose confidence until January comes around. |
