Want that point back? 😞

Yep, I know all that. But we don't deserve anything from today, especially after that ridiculous miss just now, so I'd take the point. We aren't gonna be making the playoffs.

Don't remotely agree with any of that so we will just leave it there.

He isn't as rapid as Dolan, Khadra or Gally I wouldn't say. He's also not an attacker, whether we stick him there or not.

Oh I totally agree. But since I suspect we are about to walk away with as many points as the UK gets from most countries at the Eurovision, I'd take a point.

Dolan had a mixed game for me, and I'm a huge fan. But what this does mean is Gally is our only pace up top, in a side reliant on counter attacking...

All subs done by the 60 min mark. It's amazing this doesn't bite Tony in the arse more often, because he does it nearly every week, for years now. Especially with our injury prone squad, you'd think it would cause problems, but we never seem to pick up injuries when we have used all our subs 2/3 of the way through the game. Lives a charmed life in many ways does Mr Mowbray.

Right now, I'd take a draw here. I certainly wouldn't have before kickoff.

He did a few lovely things in the first half. Just not when the final ball or shot was required. He isn't alone in that though, by any stretch.

Infuriating when our best chances fall to Buckley. These finishing sessions he is doing aren't yielding dividends yet.

I'm gonna go with both.

We have had the two most presentable chances this half and not forced the keeper into a save. They had a half chance and Kaminski had to get down well to keep it out. We are seriously lacking firepower right now. Dack simply has to come on soon.

You have to question how Dack was ready for 45 minutes on Tuesday but not today. I'd have actually been tempted to start him and perhaps bring him off around 60 mins in. He won't build his match sharpness playing 30 mins or less.

And theft it would indeed be. Daylight robbery.

Man I hope this is the last game we are missing Brereton.

I was considering saying similar, as our general play is a bit more energetic and so on. But defensively we are an absolute shambles today, Reading should be a few up really.

We could do with his composed decision making right now. Well, Dack anyway, not sure about this Deck fellow.

God I hope this is our bad half.

Defensively it is. I see I was right to say we should stick with the 5 at the back.

Kaminski keeping us alive here. We have flattered to deceive a lot, the final ball and final shot has been poor every time. Reading look far more likely when they come forward.

What's the betting the LT turns out to be more tactically astute than TM and we see one of the little lads in the middle, or at RB....

You can drop anyone if they're no longer playing in their natural position. I wouldn't have moved to 4 at the back either. But as it stands, we have, and Mowbray has gone with the shoehorn technique for the millionth time. Not that Nyambe was available in the end it seems. (Unless he was named on the bench initially so that Lenihan could play RB and Nyambe told him to go fuck himself...I'm kidding before anyone reacts, not that I'd blame him)

That's an improvement in personnel IMO, but not sure about the formation change. I know it worked in one half last match, but our problem first half wasn't particularly our system, but the personnel used at the top end of it, which changed at half time too. I think we should be sticking with the 5 at the back, and using 4-3-3 as our plan B for now. And never ever considering using Johnson as a false 9 or any other such dumbfuckery. Also thought Nyambe was meant to be back...we will see how Lenihan does for a whole game as a RB.

Then, you're entitled to be like that if you want, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously. You're saying you know things, are allowed to share them, but won't, and aren't explaining why not. But expecting us to believe your vague overall assertions. The only possibilities I can see are that you're trolling, know nothing of real substance but want to back up the regime, or do know things but you're just being an asshole about it. My guess is the second, but even on the last one, we might take entirely different conclusions from what you 'know', and maybe that's what youre trying to avoid, but we won't get the chance because you're being obtuse about it. You went on to talk about offering a viewpoint to balance the other ITK posts, but at least most of those offer some degree of specifics rather than vague promises of a better tomorrow.

Yes, you can if they're under contract. That's the point of contracts. It's also why he didn't leave for free. Because we could stop him leaving, so they had to offer an amount we found acceptable. Which we did, and we let ourselves get ripped off.
