Ratings & Reactions: Reading v Villa

[rendelc]

Everything was shit .

[meregreen]

When results are bad, you look for some hope from the performances, if you're losing but playing well then there's hope you can turn it around. There is simply nothing to inspire that hope at the moment. Our results are poor our performances are appalling. ☹️

[Farlz]

He can't possibly stay after that. Surely not. 

[Phumfeinz]

Why did we only decide to start playing in the last 5 minutes?

Shocking display for 85 minutes tonight...no shape..no midfield..bjarnason like a headless constantly running chicken falling over himself...players afraid to commit on 50 50 balls..and then the final crowning glory of a reading player standing on the edge of our box while 5 yes 5 of our defenders stood around him like statues and did not move...bruce has had the time now to get his tactics and team right..he has done neither..its only a matter of time beofre wyness pulls the trigger.

I hope Tony act fast now.

Bruce is finished

[Nigel]

That goal hides the fact that we barely touched the ball all game!

They deserved to win by more tbh!

[Eastie]

Already 8 points off the top 3 and looking clueless, gutless and hopeless - this cannot go on any longer - get rid now !!!!

Bizarre.

All out defence and long ball to a striker (whether Hogan / Gabby) who can't win headers or hold up the ball. And even if they did, there'd be no-one anywhere nearby to do anything with it. It was like we were playing Man Utd at Old Trafford and just didn't want to concede.

We can blame the players for being a bit rubbish, but there wasn't much chance to do anything else if they've been told to hoof it to no-one, and defend for 90 minutes.

A tactical shambles.

Who voted very good managers performance?

[fifamad]

We keep missing opportunities at vital points of the game, if we scored that chance at 0-0 it's a completely different game but having said that truth be told we didn't deserve anything...at one point Reading had 87% possession 

[One For The Road]

Great performance. Played well. We are going up. Damn those who say otherwise. 

Or.

Dreadful performance, no tactical awareness whatsoever from Bruce. We are in big trouble. Being passed back for most of the game by Reading, is just soul destroying.

Because in the last five minutes, all of Bruce's tactics and influence went out the window and the players just said "f*ck it - we're going for it" and that just underlines that Bruce and his shite coaches are killing us !

I can accept losing. I cannot accept not trying to win. When did Reading become so feared?! I like Steve. Nice man but we must take action now unfortunately. All is not lost if we are decisive now. Clock is ticking very quickly now though.

The same person who voted Bjarnasson as MOM, the referee performance as Very Good, and recommended Jimmy Savile for a nighthood.

I cannot see how he he lasts the night. Honestly, it simply must be a case of admin and details, the decision simply has to have been made.
