Still absorbing that disaster class of a second half. We defended and kicked the ball aimlessly down the pitch. Players couldn’t control the ball and panicked when they occasionally had the ball. Proper head loss

@JinKhangura @mrblthomas @TheTilehurstEnd Its a lack of everything! Lack of passing accuracy lack of movement off the ball, lack of fight and lack of general ability

@mrblthomas @TheTilehurstEnd These journalists need to call him out about his tactics and style of play, or a severe lack of style I should say!

Outfought completely. Deserved nothing. Usual soundbites incoming. Despite the mathematical possibility of us still making the playoffs, nothing on the field is telling me we’ll do it #readingfc

@andyrfc1871 @ReadingFC Wow! Talk about glass half empty! Last season was a massive over-achievement! We also lost some of our best players. Yes the football has been generally poor but the results are better than expected and we have started to build for the future. I'm personally optimistic.

So nothing has changed for @readingfc still watching generally boring and unentertaining football and all that investment for what? Looking for improvements is hard to find and in terms of results, they’ve not improved either!

@EarlRaf63815 @RFCLatest 👏👊

@chrisasquire @RFCLatest Never doubted him 😂

RFCLatest’s Starting XI vs Luton Town (A): Pereira; Yiadom, O’Connor, D.Williams, Ward; Wing, Savage Lane, Doyle, R.Williams; Patton Reply with your predicted XI below! 👇 #readingfc

@EarlRaf63815 @RFCLatest Hello! 🤣🤣🤣

@chrisasquire @RFCLatest How can u want Kelvin e to start after last game he offers nothing

@EarlRaf63815 @RFCLatest Did anyone offer anything in the (first 88 mins of) the last game? I'm not sure either Kelvin or Patton would work up top on their own. Worth trying them as a pair though.

@RFCLatest All of these individually are (or should be) amongst the best in the league. So I'm ok with any combination. But they must be properly coached with a progressive style / tactics. Its not the ability of the players but poor tactics and coaching that are to blame.

💭 When full fit, who is your preferred #ReadingFC central midfield partnership?

@Orrgarde @ElmParkRoyals 1) Why does Rino have to bide his time when Williams * 2 can come straight in the squad? Im sure Rino would be a player to help us keep more control and drive us forward. 2) Why do we make pointless subs that make us worse?

@ramy_abousetta Contrast Leam's assessment with Chelsea's Rosenior's post match comments. They also draw 1-1 conceding in injury time but he was honest about their deficiencies

Ady Williams is absolutely spot on - the pitch quality is not an excuse, the goal wasn't a 'moment' it was poor defending and the idea of 5 games in 15 is absolutely redundant - as he keeps emphasising he has a squad, that's to contend with many fixtures. #readingfc

@PaulTowner7 😂😂😂 Reality couldn’t be further from this

Lean Richardson quote from his first interview when he was appointed manager “Front-foot, aggressive, high-press, I want to dominate and control games.” Digest this one #readingfc

@michaelgranty @mrblthomas It’s not just results being poor though. If performances don’t improve, attendances will fall further and that hits the bottom line!

@mrblthomas What manager would you like to see replace leam as if owners want playoffs this season he has to go now

These players are so much better than this. Said it all season. And that’s the kicker in all of this- they aren’t bad players on the whole #readingfc

@ramy_abousetta Also taking Ward off when it was clear D Williams would be unlikely to play 90. Why?

Also another point - why would you take off your two most effective attacking contributors on the day in Kamari Doyle and Kadan Young to bring on a winger who is out of form and hasn't scored since August and a player returning from injury. Baffles the mind. #readingfc

Yeah get him gone.

@RFCLatest Leam is fast becoming my least favourite Ding coach of recent years. Not yet at Ince's level but he getting there!

5️⃣ - Over #ReadingFC’s last three games we have had a total of 5 shots in the second half. Two against Wycombe, one against Bolton and two against Port Vale. Park the bus, park the bus Reading FC! 🎶

@shanerolo @ElmParkRoyals I agree but would add "make crap subs". I've no idea why he took Ward off - it was obvious to us that D Williams wouldn't last much longer and sure enough he came off shortly after. Also why was Young replaced by Lane???

@ElmParkRoyals Score a goal, park the bus, change the defence, drop points...the new Reading way #EPR3

Yet another dreadful second half performance marred by another late equaliser. Reading boo’ed by a very angry away end. Your thoughts using #EPR3

@ramy_abousetta I don't get this. We're crying out for an experienced midfielder to put his foot on the ball and carry the ball forward. Well he's in the squad and it seems ready. To top that off, he can play RB! Surely with a game v bottom of the league, this is the time to blood Rino🙏

Leam Richardson told me that Andy Rinomhota is back training everyday with the first-team squad but he has to contend with 'competition for places'. #readingfc readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/25872879…

@ramy_abousetta Thanks Ramy. Great news 👍

Richardson gave me an update on Andy Rinomhota, he said that in the last week 'it's the best I've seen him'. He is due to play 45 minutes with the u21s on Saturday to get back to match fitness. #ReadingFC readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/25830437…

@ramy_abousetta @ElmParkRoyals Did he watch the u21 game last night and are any of the squad in his thoughts alongside the current 1st team? Plus agree with those asking for Rino update.

Will be speaking to Leam Richardson shortly at the press conference. If you have any questions pop them in the replies. #readingfc

@ItsinDingITK Not sure what you expect. We're not Man City. We're a decent L1 side who are better keeping the ball and being patient for opportunities to play forward.
