I'm never negative, but tonight is a bit of a turning point for me. Where the **** has our heart and fight gone? I'm utterly despondent watching this. Not only is there no fight but theres no skill on show either. We're being hammered by a poor Reading team. We've made them look like a good side. I said it on the weekend, we need a Shez, someone to go through a brick wall, but alas we haven't anyone willing to go through a sheet of A4 paper. Gardner is the worst player I've ever seen, and Williams is having to the job of 3 central midfielders on his own. The lads a kid, but he's doing everything. Ugbo is a waste of a shirt and a wage. And unfortunately Potts is playing wide right, badly. Its not his position at all. These last 3 games, Hecky has made some errors for me, starting last week against Cardiff.
I'm not having that about Gardner. He's tidy, keeps it simple and does the basics. Whatever that means.
I felt that on Tuesday against Cardiff, and same tonight. We've spent about 6m this summer. We've not replaced Scowen and he would have cost a fraction of that in wages. We've signed 3 decent Championship standard players this summer and 2 of them arent ours. Lindsay, Williams and Barnes.
Unbelievably this is one of the the most expensively assembled squads we've ever had. And it's just not very good.
