    ...well, almost.

    Last year, we were 1-0 up away to Reading and 5 minutes into injury time their keeper, Federici, goes up front for a corner in desperation and bloody scores.

    Last night, same scenario exactly. 5 minutes injury time and we can see him leaving his area, bombing forward. No chance whatsoever of it happening again surely and we mentioned the odds you'd get at the bookies. Anyway, ball is played into the box and, lo and behold, up pops Federici again - with an overhead kick for goodness sake, needing a smart save from our keeper as he struck it really well!

    He's more dangerous than a certain one-footed allegedly talented midfielder of ours :D

    I can never remember

    That particular player dishing out the boot when he played for us. What have you done to him?? :D :D

    Yep, more confident than me

    ...Reading were poor last night, very poor.

    In fact, on that performance they look like relegation candidates imo - despite being a decent looking side on paper.

    How did our Bri play?

    :D

    Well they beat us comfortably at Oakwell a couple of weeks ago so what does that say about us? :)S)

    Thats the quickest i've seen McPhail run...

    and he put a tackle in....kind of. That was a top overhead kick as well!

    Done to him?

    ...he's our midfield enforcer these days - because he's certainly not the playmaker he's reputed to be.

    Lazy tackle imo, certainly wasn't malicious in real-time. He was knackered & needed subbing at the time. And no, i'm not defending him as I thought we were better without him - as usual.

    It's just difficult to imagine McPhail as a Vinnie Jones-type midfielder!! :D :D

    I see him more as a Zeta Jones-type midfielder tbh

    Ran around a lot

    ...generally around McPhail tbh - but didn't actually do much imo. Couple of tame shots, nothing really.

    You & me both

    ..couldn't believe the keeper made such a good connection & attempt - seen far, far worse efforts than that & had us sweating at the other end of the pitch I can tell you
