Reading vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[nwgull]

Baldock just fluffed a volley - first clear cut chance. Aspinall thinks that 'they're here for the taking'.

 

[Icy Gull]

Stats show that we have most of the possession but zero shots and Reading have had two. I think they are a very quick counter attacking side? Have to say this game worries me..

 

[Dick Head]

Houghton, Houghton, who the **** is Houghton?

 

[Si Gull]

Results not really going our way, are they?

Seems wrong that we can be 14 games unbeaten yet there are no less than 3 teams within 3 points of us....shows how tight it is at the top.

Unfortunately both our forwards "fluff" way more shots than they should.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Anyone listening can give us a clue how things are going?

BBC stats say Albion have had 59 per cent of the possession in the first 22 mins

Would have a wonder goal if he had connected. So criticism unfair.,

Too many draws.

4 draws in last six games - dropped 8 points out of 18 in that time. 1.67 per game in the last six games. Not promotion form - and the pack have been closing the gap gradually across that time. Unbeaten run is pointless (if you see what I mean) if it consists of lots of draws.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Too many draws.

... And nowhere near enough defeats.

 

[perseus]

Count how mant times Crofts is mentioned ? Shouldn't be too onerous?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

What's the formation?

 

[dangull]

Not heard Crofts mentioned much. A bit bad me saying that with his recent bad injuries.

Seven goals in 1.5 games for fulham

Makes our early win against them a very good result.

 

[saafend_seagull]

4-0 Fulham now

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Hemed close!

 

[LlcoolJ]

Hemed so close.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Hemed has to score soon

Sounds like it was a great save.
