Jay Fulton

[Pacemaker]

What a performance, MOM for me, I think this season is going to be his year, really very impressive.

Brilliant levels of fitness shown by the entire team, Reading were very lucky to walk away with a point and for us to dominate one of our promotion rivals shows we are going to get better with a little bit of a tweak up front.

How do you fit Morgan Gibbs White into that side, that midfield is immense at the moment, and all know their jobs inside out. Very frustrated but very pleased with the level of our performance.

There were many good performances tonight but I agree that Jay was MotM.

He'll be capped for Scotland soon, if the Jocks have any sense.

Hi plumped for Ben as MOM - did a great job and took charge of the back line when Bennett went off
Fulton close second.
Lowe was good value.
Some of the passing was exquisite.
Had Dhanda, Routledge or Garrick come on with 15/ 20 minutes to change things it would have given us a better chance of br asking their defence.

It was decent performance and I don't want to piss on anyone's fire, but given Dhanda's last game he'd have weakened us. I've never seen Garrick do anything and Routledge can sometimes be invisible when he comes on as a sub. As long as the players had the legs, I wouldn't have made any changes. Nobody deserved to go off anyway. Fulton and Smith both had cracking games; Lowe's running and touch was causing them problems; you ca't really drop Ayew despite how frustrating he can be giving the ball away. As soon as we made the tactical sub, we lost all momentum.

Easy in hindsight though innit!

What is funny is that for much of Coopers tenure we have been begging him to make substitutions. Yesterday we wanted the 11 to remain unchanged... :grinning: :speak_no_evil:

Yes i agree they were more than capable of nicking it. However i think AA had one of his better games and Lowe cant do what he does week in week out, I personally would have taken both off and i think Garrick has the pace we need and can win games late on.

On a different note posters criticise Cooper for not making subs and know better same as us myself, please see Palmers contribution. He will be lucky to get just a bolllicking, i can now see why we had him on loan couls have cost us.
