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

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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.

@EarlRaf63815 @RFCLatest 👏👊

@EarlRaf63815 @RFCLatest Hello! 🤣🤣🤣

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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.

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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.

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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?

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

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

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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!

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

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

[micah @m1871e]

Yeah get him gone.

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

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

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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???

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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🙏

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@ramy_abousetta Thanks Ramy. Great news 👍

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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.

[Chris Squire @chrisasquire]

@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.
