Absolute Shocking

No way you thought we were going to draw when we were 1-4 up, did you ?
 
sorry, that was meant for Phil and the 'you knew that was going to happen' crew
 
Great atmosphere there today until the equaliser and fantastic support from the travelling Jacks.

I was right in the front row today and saw the Reading penalty was a clear dive. At first I thought Friend was booking the striker for simulation.

Fell apart when Downes went off and they tried to play the same style of tiki taka with Fulton which was tactically naive. He’s a cart horse and if you bring him on he should hoof the ball up to Obafemi to run on to and not fart about with it.

Not sure about Fisher at all - he seems to make wrong decisions and is a poor shot stopper (even non existent).

After Reading equalised in injury time there was a clear handball when Christie crossed into the Reading penalty area and the defender armed the ball. Some shocking refereeing decisions today but, all being said, we only have ourselves to blame for throwing away a 4-1 lead.

I’m frustrated but I do love the Championship because anything can happen.
 
Can’t say it was a poor performance, at times our passing and movement especially in the first half was fantastic to watch. It was poor game management more than anything else. At 4-2 we should’ve just taken the sting out of the game. When it went to 4-3, we were sucked into playing long, our ball retention was poor and Reading could sense they were in the ascendancy at that stage.

Seeing as you aimed it at me - no I didn't.

But then again I never said that I did.
 
Some people have short memories, i can remember Swansea 4- Wolves 4 in 2011/12 season under BR in our first season in the PL, we had also been 4-1 up, we were also 2-0 away from home against them and they scored two late goals to equalise to make it 2-2.

The 5-4 Palace game where we were coasting at 3-1 and scored in last minute to win it.

It happens.
 
I think it’s simple. We look great in attack (lately) but incredibly vulnerable in defence and that’s the way it’s going to be for the foreseeable. If he can manage to get the defence as strong as the recent forward play we’re on a winner. Then again if I stopped eating pies I wouldn’t be so fat. I guess what I’m saying is you can’t have everything. Look on the bright side, Glamorgan are top!
