Reading Post Match

Should've given the job to Chrissy Powell. Looked like he was more involved with the players than Sousa yesterday.

Dunno what we're all so down about, lots to look forward to, the forthcoming "game of the season" at Cov, thai pie in the catering kiosks, half time 5 a side with ladyboys, and the promise of our 250k transfer kitty being splashed in the next few days too! providing DJ goes to Blackpool and Howard goes to Accrington.

OMFG WE GOT MERKED Y'DAY INIT!

[wurmer]

Never seen a post I agree more with; being a human being on this little island is increasingly meaning having to partake in a dreary, repetetive and unrewarding daily routine in order to comply with what is 'expected' by society (aka The Authorities).

Btw here's in a copy of the text I sent to my mate at full time (apologies in advance for any offence): "I genuinely hope this ref gets a really serious cancer that causes him to suffer for ages before dying by choking on his own blood". Extreme I know but it exemplifies just how far beyond "just football" this footy fan lark really is.

As for the club; well I've lost all faith in them given events over the past few weeks, and the attitude of the players seem (weirdly) to reflect the general bad aura that's surrounding the place at the moment. We won't be in a relegation battle, but we'll certainly be looking at "mid-table-mediocrity" at its finest.

You have got issues if you think its OK to wish cancer on someone. it's a game ffs. I suggest you find another hobby.

I think we created some good chances at the end, kings goal should of stood. But we left it too late. I think lamey's distribution is poor and think Neilson is a better starter at RB this season. Moreno i dont think is a CB, he isnt tall enough for a start Mills well and truly done him for their second-morrison at CB with hobbs for me. Dyer was good yesterday and took his goal very well. I do think he could of passed instead of trying to shoot sometimes, other players were in much better positions. I dont think oakley and wellens were too bad yesterday but would prefer king to have started for oakley. Moussa looks promising, looks like he is hungry anyway. And i think we should start with fryatt and gally upfront next game. I just think we lacked that cutting edge yesterday. I am disappointed by the start and am concerned about some of the things coming out of the club. But on another day we could of quite easily got something from the game.

[iBleedLeicesterColours]

Im not worried.

We have been so unlucky in all of our games so far, could easily have knicked all 3 points in all of them bar Burnley.

King 2 goals in 2 disallowed,Howard Penalty claim v M'boro, 2 goal line clearances yesterday, DJ and N'guessan chances v Burnley, Fryatts miss v Palace.

Just a few examples of things that could/would have gone right on another day.

As for the game yesterday, I went, Dyer played the best, I thought Moreno looked shakey, not a fan of him so far, Lamey gives the ball away cheaply, No King or Morrison WTF, Wellens and Oakley played decent, I have come to the conclusion that N'Guessan has gone from poor to dog shit. We played well 2nd half, If we played that way for the 90 we'd be fine. It will come together.

[The Doctor]

the team needs a good overhaul for next time round.

First of all moreno and Lamey need to be at least benched. We need a tough tacklng, no nonsense wayne brown-esque defender at cb which is why rather than bringing in morrison at cb and neilson at rb, the opposite should be done and have neilson at cb. Morrison reminds me greatly of stearman. A cb who hasn't quite got some of the physical qualities needed to be a cb and so is pushed out to rb and performs well out there.

Second, king needs to come in and DNG should be dropped, Rather than going for the straight king in, DNG out option and put oakley out wide, Dyer should be pushed foward into a supporting role behind the striker(s) with then either wellens, or abe if he gets a work permit, sitting infront of the defence allowing King and 1 or 2 (depending on whether to go 2 up top or 1) of Oakley/Moussa/Gallagher more freedom to support the striker(s) and dyer.

Finally we either need to get in a player able to hold the ball up and also possessing a bit of pace and good finishing and play them instead of howard, or take howard out completely to remove the temptation to hit it long and play either Crncic, Fryatt or both , getting the ball down and playing it through midfield.

therefore the team should be:

Weale/Logan/Ikeme

Morrison------Neilson-------Hobbs-------Berner

Abe/Wellens

King -------- 1 or 2 of Gallagher/Oakley/Moussa

Dyer

Fryatt/Crncic

Can't choose between the keepers: Haven't seen Ikeme play all that much, Harsh to drop logan - he did alright yesterday but i feel more confident with weale in goal

Dyer needs to be slightly more out wide (about level with the ---- between morrison and neilson - couldn't get it to sit there though)

Fryatt and Crncic partnered together if only 1 of Gally/oakley/Moussa picked

[Ricey]

Seems likea bit of an overreaction on here.

I'm disapointed to have lost another game and disapointed with the first half performance. However 2nd half I thought we looked dangerous and on the whole were unlucky to not win the game, never mind losing it.

There was always going to be an awkward period of change under Sousa, I'm just hoping it ends soon before the season is a write off.

fook me, I didn't realise that point of relating that message here would be so completely missed. And ok, I apologise.

Clearly I don't think it's okay to wish cancer on anyone, and the point I was trying to make is that an hour or so after a match you look back and yes, it was totally unacceptable, but your emotions got the better of you. I know most people here understand the emotion involved in being a footy fan but plenty of people still don't seem to (hence the usual and utterly frustrating "it's only a game" comments).

Of course you look back and see that what you thought and said was WAY over the top. But if you lot are telling me you've never thought thoughts or said things in the heat of the moment that you later regretted, well I have trouble believing you.

Oh and ibbosuk, reacting like that to a message on an online forum is equally, if not more childish than my original message.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

YOU ARE THE BIGGEST **** TO HAVE EVER BEEN ON THIS FORUM,

YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN"T YET HAD A CLOSE MEMBER OF YOUR FIMILY SUFFER WITH CANCER,

I HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO WATCH & SUFFER SEEING YOUR MOTHER, FATHER , SISTER OR BROTHER GO THROUGH THOUGH SUCH A THING.

YOU BETTER HOPE I NEVER FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE !

I totally agree. The bloke must be sick in the head. He wants shooting! :sick:

No, the point doesn't stand, at all.

If anyone is that stupid, idiotic and insensitive enough to EVER wish a long, slow painful death via cancer on anyone, they need their head checking, whatever the emotion. Whether they've just shagged your misses or cost your team a point. Using the 'emotions' excuse is weak.

I wonder if you'd have thought that if Mark Halsey was the referee yesterday, by the way.

[Narborough_fox]

On a different note, I do applaud Mark Halsey for sticking at refereeing. Gained a lot more respect from me and I'm sure a lot of others.

[lcfcadam]

Yeah, okay no that's fine. One silly, pretty unnacceptable message with no feeling behind it other than a bit of temporary (and probably way over-the-top but that can happen when you've got things on your mind already) anger must mean I'm some kind of freak psycopath who needs to be dispensed with immediately.

I won't deny that some of your comments are ludicrously misjudged given the original context of the message.

As I said previously, I apologise for putting what I said on here in what was, retrospectively, a stupid attempt to make a point. If you met me you'd immediately see I'm not "like that" in the slightest. And to Ian C: I disagree - I don't think the "emotion card" is no excuse at all. Some people, emotions get the better of them and they start a fight, or they kill someone, or they riot etc. I'm sure there are better ways of dealing with anger than sending an insensitive, distasteful message but in the grand scheme of things...

[Simmo86]

Despite not being great yesterday I dont think it was as bad as people are making it out on here! A bit more luck and we would of won the match comfortably.

I dont think Sousa has lost the dressing room, there was lots of effort and application from the word go yesterday we just lack a bit of quality.

People need to give the man time to bring in his own players and get them integrated into the squad. Only then can people judge the manager.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I agree mostly. The new players as individuals showed a fair amount of talent, but we must give them time to gel together. Rome was not built in a day.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

My computer is now going off its bloody trolley. I kicked and hit it, and it has apologised to me.

I've seen three. All at different stages of my opinion. Good, average and bad.

[Webbo]

Not you sweetness

A sweeping generalisation encompassing the fukwits who were booing and jeering DJ, a player who is still on our books. Our fvcking player. A player who (if the transfer goes tits) could well be on our books until Xmas. Cockbadgers who were singing for a player who plays for Aston fvcking Villa and is NEVER coming to us this season.

And then the cvnts leave ten minutes before the end?

Wankers, every single chromosome-challenged one of them, as they stumbled back to the primordial ooze from whence they slithered.

L1 really is full of utter cvnts.

I miss you daggers. You're too young for TB.

[Guest BlueBrett]

Lamey - very poor, positioning appalling, gets drawn to the ball too much. As with Moreno, not sure how much he cares for the cause

D N'G - not a starter, a good impact player at best for the moment

Couldn't agree more. Lamey looked out of his depth and N'Guessan did very little and what he did do he did badly.

Matty did look quite sharp when he came on and as usual king made a big difference. Is there any reason why he didn't start?

Yes,,,Sousa didn't pick him!

[Basingstoke Fox]

Jesus christ. I've just seen the highlights of the disallowed goal. I cannot believe that wasn't given. I don't like to use excuses but disallowing that is an absolute joke! Also Howard was unlcuky to have that cleared off the line. Great goal by Lloyd though.

Yes, because he'd been injured.

If Moreno had've just cleared the ball when he first got it, we'd have been looking at a totally different game, I've said it before and I'll say it again, passing it around at the back is going to get us into trouble, this was what Moreno was looking to do.

I do see the advantages of passing from the back, but in that situation just get rid of it, punt it out of play or upfield so we can reorganise the defence.
