Been a few contenders brown has been poor aswell. Playing so narrow in this dimond doesnt do him any favors though
Grafter, and good at short passes. Nowhere near the standard of a mid table championship team tho. Still probably our best midfielder which says it all, but extremely limited..... As a team tho our shooting and final ball is shocking.
Mowatt gets his shooting boots from the lob wedge section of American Golf. But otherwise I thought he was OK. The whole team were, tbh. Now that the defence is not so howlingly generous to the opposition, attention is turning to the forward line. And how we manage to blow so many chances.
Although he gave 100%, as always, I thought his legs had gone for most of the second half. Too many games in a short period. Why not give Kenny a go?
Dougall must be wondering what he’s done wrong to be behind Ritzmaier and Bahre in the pecking order.
Phew, it wasn't just me then. I wish Ritzmaier, Oduor, Woodrow, Bahre and Thomas had been as 'bad' as Alex in our midfield today!
We also played the last 35 minutes with 10 men when Chaplin was taken off for the totally anonymous Schmidt
Oh,okay, my misinterpretation. Can't agree with Thomas being the best player - as someone else pointed out, spent most of the second half on his backside, some pretty stuff from halfway to penalty area but then stops, paps himself and gives it away. Felt it was embarrassing the way the stronger Reading players just brushed him off in the tackle - it was like men against small boy.
