Are Reading the WORST team...

[brightn'ove]

...to have that amount of possession at the Amex?

Excluding us under Poyet and Garcia of course.

I think they created one chance? ONE.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

All that possession made us wet our knickers..........now we're good enough not to wear any

 

[Luke93]

Some poor Albion defending gifted then opportunities to create chances. Thankfully they were pony.

 

[Stuart Munday]

No I just think we were very good.

 

[brightn'ove]

No I just think we were very good.

Agreed, we made them ineffectual. They had no plan B.

 

[Weststander]

Pointless possession at the back from the Poyet (Amex era) and Garcia coaching manual.

Strangely, as the home team we simply bided our time for opportunities, with fantastic counter attacking, as shown by goals 2 and 3.

More of the same please.

To think I was worried about today they were rubbish poorest team we have played all season. It wasn't as if they parked the bus they were tacticly clueless.

 

[Fungus]

Did McShane make a single forward pass?

 

[Change at Barnham]

I'm quite encouraged by Reading's performance which I thought was decent. They were unlucky to come up against a very good Brighton side.
The good news is that they need to bounce back and they play Newcastle at home on 7th March. I think they stand a great chance of beating the Geordies.

Excluding us under Poyet? I NEVER saw us play that ineffectually under Poyet. To play that way you have to be able to play it out from the back, we did that in the championship under Poyet, but they just couldn't do it tonight.

Our 4-4-2 totally foxed them and their best chances came from long balls. However they should carry on, we developed that style in league 1, its hard to do it in the champ, and especially away at the league leaders - I'll give them a pass

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Shame about Reading. We've been there, all foreplay, no penetration

There were a few times under poyet and Garcia when we created zero chances and just passed it across the back. It was very reminiscent of some of those performances.

This, Reading were slow and very, VERY deep with their possession tonight and like you allude to, that was us the second half of Poyets 1st bit of a season in League 1.

Brighton under Poyet in the Championship created a lot more (yes there were off days) from his possession game than Reading did tonight.

On the odd occasion, but it was usually when the oppositon played deep. Tonight Reading went back and back and back. When Poyet's team were pressed that high we got it forward, Reading looked lost tonight

 

[Albion my Albion]

No!

They are not about to be relegated.

 

[brightn'ove]

No!

They are not about to be relegated.

Which relegation bound team has had that much possession then

The question was NOT which team has had the most possession, it was which team is the worst.................I don't read threads..............I answer the asked question.

I am mystified as to how Reading are above Rotherham to be honest
