LoyalRoyal22 its amazing how everyone hated kebe and now he is a fan favourite! what a legend
Speak for yourself mate.
Also, being a Reading "fan favourite" and "legend" doesn't mean much. Ask Dave Kitson. "Everybody" turned on him pretty damn sharpish when he lost form.

Kebe isn't a "legend" - Kitson on the other hand...just look at the amount of goals. good player
i have to say im pleased with the point from the game! there are alot of positives to take from the game, and even tho we still have not got a win and possibly have 4 maybe 6 points i still believe we will have a good season and push up for play off hopefully automatic promotion or even win the league!!!

As far as I am concerned, Kits is a 100% legend.

One thing is clear from the highlights, Jamie Ashdown hates conceding goals
He kicked Gunnarsson whilst everyone else celebrated the goal

You'd have thought he would've got used to it by now.

Pretty sure they said that Tabb is another player now carrying a bit of a knock and so wasn't available for Saturday.

The Rouge's thoughts after watching the game:
(I am normally pretty positive (I tipped us to finish 3rd this season - lets see) and I know it doesn't make much sense to read too much into the first couple of games of the season...)
- Whilst with a few minutes to go, we were looking at 0 points rather than a point, I still felt as if it was 2 points lost.
- Pompey were dire as you may expect. 3 subs named and a defender having (ineffectively) to play upfront after Utaka went off injured in the 1st half.
- Whilst we were by far the better team, there were a number of things that disappointed me:
1. I don't think Church can play the lone striker role. I like Simon Church - I worry about his finishing but he has a great all round game. Having said that - asking him to repeatedly out-jump Sonko and catch a ball on his neck is probably not fair on the guy.
2. They stopped us a bit from playing the ball to our wingers and we looked a bit clueless. We kept working hard to look for wingers but were then faced with the choice of asking them to beat 4 players and score, or whip in a cross for Church versus 2 big centre backs. There needs to be a threat through the middle. Gylfi is a huge talent and Howard is a good player, but somehow as a team, despite them defending fairly wide across the pitch, we didn't look like we could play through them (in the centre).
3. Williams had no real understanding with McAnuff and failed to execute a number of passes/flicks/not tripping over the ball that previous RFC full-backs would have done pretty easily.
On the positives, Gylfi, despite not having a great game, is always a threat. What a player.
Karacan's spoiling and tackles I felt were important in this game (without Tabb on the pitch) as we ran the risk of losing way too many 50/50s without him...

I'm not agreeing with you twice.
Nobody seen Ashdown kick Gunnarsson over after we scored? What a legend

Total pr*ck. Anyone see him kiss the post after Gylfi beat him all ends up with the freekick? W@nker, hope you've enjoyed being sat on the bench wasting the last 5 or 6 years of your career.

Can't they suspend him for that? Similar to what happened to Leroy Lita against Charlton a few years ago.
