Result was as expected but a decent performance from the team with Lumley especially excelling. 4 points from the last 3 games is very decent though and I’d have taken if it had been offered beforehand. Ince, Bowen and Carey have done well to get this squad together and Ince has got something worth watching on the pitch but it’s games like this where you can see there’s a foundation of something but, due to the financial restrictions on the club, just not quite the quality when playing the better sides in the division. But at the end of the day being 12th with 36 points, at this stage of the season, and being still on the fringes…
And still kids on twatter calling for Ince to go, I seriously despair sometimes.
Yeah no complaints really. Awful first 20 but once we got up to speed matched up well. Could have snatched a goal. Substitutions were good, shape was good. Lumley and Loum both excellent We’re a limited side of course but stick to the task and could see how relieved they were at the end, with plenty of time wasting in the last 10 2 of the tougher games in Norwich and wba away out the way as well
Battling performance after a dire ten mins. Had some good chances where on another day we sneak a point. Man of match by country mile is Lumley. Good energy by Loum and thought Dann was decent once settled. Should of dealt with that cross for the winner. Also, Dellors lates moan is ince ranting at players. Shut the fuck up man. Just let it go. Good to see some fight and passion from the bloke although not his best game today. Azeez, needs a run in team now. This boy has potential to be very good if remains injury free.
I think Azeez might have an opportunity to play as one of the two strikers potentially, a little bit of pace might help us to stretch defences and of course he'd be able to run the channels. I just don't see Ince picking him over Meite, Joao or Long if he had the chance, not at this stage when we still need points in the season.
Just got back, a few things of note; they have a combi boiler as a mascot, I don’t know why they all turned on their mobilePhone flash lights on 57 minutes but it was really gimp. Hendrick was awful awful awful. Lumley was outstanding. Subs made a difference. Hundreds of West Brom fans gathered outside the directors entrance after the game to do a protest about something. Chants of being greedy. Oh and if you are reading this, the Sam Ryder lookalike, with a top knot man bun and beard sitting near the bottom in the Reading end. Shouting pcunt at the top of your voice every few minutes impresses no one. There was lots of young…
Well my prediction of a narrow defeat was correct. Thought we battled well after the first 20 min without ever really looking like we were going to score. I get Lumley time-wasting in a 2nd half when winning, but that was taking the piss a bit in the first half. Maybe he was trying to slow down the West Brom onslaught? Not that I’ve seen much of us this season, but does 3-5-2 really bring the best out of our personnel? Meite is lost as a striker, both him and Ince are inside forwards. Our central midfield looked lost in the first half, although Loum improved. Was crying out for a Swift type of player ironically, we need someone who…

Chants of being greedy . Related. Don't know why that time, but the whole thing is Lai Out*, so ... err. *there's some very odd accounting going on, with loans to and from old owners and related companies. Been a while since they went down, so bit of a cliff edge…
