MATCHWATCH : Luton Town (a)

[traff]

I felt quite emulsional watching that performance.

[windermereROYAL]

Oh yeah, their defending on two of the goals was pish and two of our most creative players pulled a top tier goal out for the other.

League One. Innit.

Even the 2nd goal Luton gave the ball away 20 yards out.

[Steve_Upper_West]

So bang out of form that they made Premier League Arsenal the champions elect work really hard for their single goal win and did what not many Premier League teams have done this season by scoring a goal against them.

TBF the Arsenal defender that made the mistake was 16 years of age.....

Most of the side that started were proven first teamers and it took Eze with a screamer to seal the win.

Back to more important things-Reading Fc.
I just checked-today we committed more fouls (20) than any other team in the division.
As I posted the other week , we are turning into the archetypal Northern third division side with3 lumps at the back, a packed midfield and plenty of long balls so a bit like Rotherham of old, the same Rotherham that LR managed.

Very effective and well done by the manager for getting us up the table and accumulating a very good number of points - successful it may be but I really don't enjoy watching us.
A mate came round to see it on TV (Bournemouth didn't have a game) and asked if that was how we play every week.
The obvious answer was "yes" and he kindly didn't say much more about it than "great result".

Obviously I will carry on going to home matches but this is the first season for a very long time I have questioned my desire to go , not least because my family in Reading has got smaller and smaller and going to matches means that I see some of them every fortnight.
I detect that there are quite a few on here who don't go anymore-I wonder if it is because of our style or just for other reasons.

I have not been to a ‘home’ game for a couple of years, partly down to family reasons and partly down to the style of play. But out of interest and as another ‘south coast Royal’ - where do people park these days, the Greyhound car park is closed I believe ?

Just in case I turn up for the play-offs

First chance to post.



Just @ this season.

Leam Richardson - 39 pts from 21 games (1,86 ppg), > 50% win percentage

and the squad still have gears to go through.

Maybe there's something in this 'being patient' approach.

Well yes and no. We weren’t very patient with Hunt and that decisive decision may have turned out to be a masterstroke

I think the LR out stuff was always nonsense led by a few particularly vocal voices

From day one of the "new" stadium I have always parked on or just off Hartland Road.
Then a steady walk up Acre Road but please don't get there too early and get my place in Corinne Close.

I was a bit wary to start with but after 25 years so far, so good.

Apparently Kelvin was the youngest Reading player to score a league hat trick since Shane Long v Derby in PL
