Blake had no protection from JET or the inside of midfield so did well considering he was 2-on-1 most of the time and Burke had no support from Quinn or one of our attackers after Bellamy so was also 2-on-1 quite a lot.

0-0, tidy result, who gives a shit about the performance of individuals. You need to take into account the intensity and pressure of the game as well. Every single player out there made mistakes last night so be careful not to magnify them and make out players played worse than they did.

I don,t know what game you were watching, yes he made mistakes but in general he was superb, his workrate and commitment were first class and remember, he was playing out of position and that was his first start since christmas!!!!!

Blake made one mistake but otherwise had a tidy game. Bemuses me why players are getting slated after nil nil in a first leg play off game way from home. Some people need perspective.

Burke and Blakes workrate and commitment was excellent, Darcy made one mistake all match, Burkey was shut out in the channels and wasnt getting as much support as normal. How that is useless I will never know, it was one of those tight scrappy edgy confrontations. Chopra hardly got a kick, Jet was not up to par going forward, where they useless too? :?

Burkey had a mare last night but I genuinely believe he's injured/out on his feet.

Chopra not match fit, not his fault.

Blake one of the best players on the pitch for us, superb with the ball at his feet, everywhere, let one cross get past him but Reading had nobody in the box.

Obviously Super Kev and Whitts were motm.

JET did as good as he could've done considering he's still not conditioned for 90 minutes of first team senior level football.

Bothroyd was infuriating and brilliant in the air with equal measure.

Biggest worry was Oli for me. No control, no tackling, all just a little irrelevant in the course of the game. Quite sad.

Useless is an annoying description of these players who battled really hard. Burkey hasnt been doing what he does best and beat people on the flanks for weeks now, thats worrying but still battled, I agree maybe needs to be changed for return. Agree also on Oli, been giving it away more and more as the season has got older.

Did you watch the game on TV or were you there? I was there they were nowhere as bad as you say, Blake ok a few mistakes but overall a very good match. Don't think Burke is 100% at the mo. Surely now is not the time to start picking on the players, lets get behind them and give them 100% support. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

after watching the match on sky when i got home from reading i thought our boys did pretty damn well,burke was quiet sure ,but hardly useless,this negativity and slating of players is unbelievable,we are 2 wins from the premiership for god sake.Reading were hardly world beaters themselves,didnt have a plan B and resorted to pumping up long balls to shane long which didnt work plus they had a huge break when craig had to go off and they failed to capatilise,im confident of beating them at home with or without bellers

ffs get off blakes back dj got right slagging for singling out young mathews , so why single out blake now, when lets be honest half the team were below average on friday(and i was there),watch the game again ,and look at the understanding between blake and mc noughton ,i think quite impresive ,becouse both can play fb and cb they can and do cover for each other very well ,,, at this time of season (play offs) partnerships all through the team are so important,togetherness as a team more important than individuals , :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
