The worst performance since........

[South Coast Royal]

There have been many that were much worse than on Tuesday night.

3 that come to mind:-

THAT Oxford game already mentioned (my in-laws lived about 400 yards from the Manor Ground and were OTT sympathetic after the game).

Reading 0 Bristol Rovers 6 (the only good thing to come out of the game was the later signing of the original "What a bargain").

Reading 0 Huddersfield 0 (so much at stake but so little shown on the pitch in surely one of the dullest games that Wembley has ever witnessed )

The archetypal "how not to play football in a final", two sides with awful managers who just didn't want to lose and so absolutely zero ambition was ever shown on the pitch - particularly by Stam/Reading - it was a total travesty whoever won and a penalty shoot out lost in style about summed the whole ridiculous farce up. Afterwards I'd seriously have considered reprieving whoever finished 20th in the PL and keeping both finalists down for taking the **** or bringing the game into disrepute.

Never forget that Reading were drawing that game 0-0 at half time.

I forget the details now, but I remember arriving home from an absolute stinker of an away evening match at Colchester and venting my anger onHNA over Mad Dog’s contribution to the club. No idea why I blamed him more than Pardew, but something he had either said or done really wound me up. I’ve never been as angry over a Reading performance as I was that night.

Thing is there is a difference between worst performance and worst result, yes, that play off final v Udders was bad but we never lost over the ninety minutes, a positive result usually disguises a poor performance but there is nothing worse than losing with a poor performance.

I'm not sure it was a bad performance, per se: the players seemed to execute their instructions without fail and achieved the objective of the tactics (aside from losing the penalty shootout). The tactical decisions and the spectacle was completely horrific though.
