Reading 2 - 2 Newcastle United - 29/09/12 - post-match reaction from page 43

[SEMTEX]

Lets try 3-5-2

[Dave]

I'm coming to terms with the realisation this game will result in giving me debilitating depression

 

Stop watching it then.

 

I'm also prone to self harm

 

Keep watching it then.

[Yorkie]

Williamson's had a decent game.

[nufc4eva]

Honestly man THE FUCKING LONG BALL NEVER FUCKING WORKS WITH BA AND CISSE YOU CUNTS JUST PLAY IT ON THE FUCKING FLOOR

[maybe_next_year]

well the first 5 mins of this half has been even worse than the first

[Wullie]

I feel like a team would have to be really poor at the moment for us to look comfortably the better side. If any team sets up just solid and vaguely competent defensively, we look clueless.

[ATB]

Williamson's had a decent game.

 

Yeah, the ball has been out of play alot.

[Chris_R]

Lets try 3-5-2

 

Let's just try left footed players on the left and right footed players on the right.

 

I couldn't give a toss what formation we then put them in, as without it it's just a collection of round pegs in square holes. Which is why we've got no final ball, no creativity, and are shite and slow going forward.

[OoOGazOoO]

Soft booking, but a needless foul.

[littlelunchbox]

if we're going to play it long put shola on at least he comes short to flick some balls on.

[RodneyCisse]

Cisses touch has been abysmal.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Very poor that no attempt to change things has happened, we've come out very flat.

[Guest justin99.]

scum just scored

[David28]

Guess Harper is actually the only keeper with Adidas gloves but Adidas boots.

[Wilson]

shoot is, shoot is noo

[Guest VanBarduck]

Harper is so ball greedy 

[tmonkey]

Ba and Cisse aren't helping matters. Both have been piss poor at holding the ball up or laying it off.

[Skirge]

Should have hit it sooner

[maybe_next_year]

better!

[ATB]

This is embarrassing. I don´t know who to blame.

 

Pardew or the f***ing players, or maybe ashley.

[Beren]

Has anyone watched the recent series of The Office? I think it's gone really downhill personally. Then again, there aren't that many good comedies still being produced, and comedies very rarely fail to go downhill after they've been on air for a while.

Assuming the same diameter/width, a round peg would fit in a square hole.

Haha thinking the same.

I think it's a tactic tbh, set up to play the most tedious football possible and hope you sneak a goal at some point.  Like Pardew said last season "sometimes (i.e. always) you need to wait for the win to come to you".  In other words there is generally no desire to pro-actively go out there and get the win.

 

In a way I've no problem with it because it's effective.  I don't enjoy watching us though, which annoys me since I devote a fair bit of time to it.

[Decky]

When are we going to kick our season in to gear man.
