Northern Exile
I am suprised that no-one has yet mentioned the hoo-ha over who was going to take the penalty. Ledesma picks up the ball and COG does a Leighton Baines impression and just shrugs. Where are the leaders on the pitch? We used to have several and now we have none - and that sums up our lack of ambition. For those who weren't there, our noble captain had to go over and ask 'dad' on the touchline who told him to give it to COG. Surely there is a plan for the penalty taker in the starting eleven - or perhaps we need another clipboard. The captain should have sortedvit out immediately.
That was a horrible game to watch. Whilst we were awful, Reading wasted so much time in the second half that the ball seemed in play for only half the time. Midfield were slow and created nothing and don't come back to pick up the ball, so the main attack came from hoofs up to the front. The wingers don't 'show' themselves on the touchline, but tuck in so much that our fullbacks can't see them for what should be a simple pass that sets up an attack.
