    Brilliant questions by Adam Oxley who didn't let him off lightly. You score so early you go for another to take the pressure off. You don't try and defend deep for the whole game and get your one and only corner in the 95th minute.

    Can't listen to the bloke, talks absolute $hite. 4 minutes into the interview and all he's talked about is defending and how we defended well, says everything about how we set up.

    I had sympathy for him after previous games, because he had a right to expect players not to make the individual mistakes that they did in previous games.

    But today, he had to do something about the general pattern of play. We were pumping long balls to bassi, with nobody pushing up to win any second balls. Nothing against odour, but Iseka and Adeboyejo should both have been on before him. That was just a change for change sake.

    The game was a physical battle all the way through. One that we just didn’t have the physicality to compete in. So we brought Clarke Oduor on as our first change.
    Baffling….

    Clarke spent his time strolling around as though it was a practice match. On one occasion he pulled his foot back and blimey a switched on Reading player had kicked it away from him.

    Clarke is on my goodbye list. There are others.

    I stopped listening to manager's post-match comments years ago. Keith Hill was mildly entertaining, but the rest of them spout generic garbage. If you've actually sat through the match, you don't need someone else to gloss over the shortcomings.

    Asbaghi was right in saying that we defended very well for most of the match, but his tactic of defending for 85 minutes meant that eventually our defensive line would be breached. It was obvious, I would think, to most of us in the stadium, that Reading were going to score at some point, when we kept inviting them to attack us. In retrospect, we scored too early. Our early goal put us on the back foot for the rest of the game, because we had decided we didn't need to bother trying to score again.

    Have to say, for their goal Clarke stood off to allow their player to cross it into the box. He didn't do enough to get close and block.

    His interview seemed to contradict all the views of the game I'd read in real-time.

    Even worse, Callum Brittain then followed him with an interview that contradicted him and basically said that we sat back too much during the game. His interview fitted well with the observations of the BBS.

    How can Poya not see what his own players can in terms of how the game played out?

    Made the same mistake we did against Fulham never tried to get a 2nd goal and even when it went to 1-1 in both games we never actually tried to win after that. Much as I hoped things had turned a corner it’s why I wouldn’t back Poya as our head coach next season in league one.

    I’d have a lot more sympathy for Brittain’s comments if he’d blasted at goal from 6 yards, rather than trying to tap it across goal and straight at a defender.

    I love Callum for saying it as he sees it and not spouting generic tosh. I seem to remember him doing the same when Shloppy was in charge.

    Did he comment on how $hite he’s been all season?

    When scored I said I’d rather the goal came in the 97th minute!

    Lad has zero bottle when he gets anywhere near the opposition box. No threat whatsoever.

    Definitely. By the time Victor came on he really had little chance to make a difference.

    To be fair, if that had been at the other end we'd have been raving about Kitching/Andersen/Brittain/Vita for making a brilliant last-ditch block....

    Maybe, but I’d also be relieved that their player tried to tap it across goal, rather than hit it towards goal.
