Holmowl Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Good half of away team football. Bit shaky at the back but Borner-Lees promising. Odabaju lightweight so far. Bannan doing well as always. Hutch and Lee tireless. Lee knocked off the ball a bit but hardly surprising. Reach not in game enough. Harris a constant threat. Scaring them to death. They will cover his side more in 2nd so maybe Reach will see more ball. Reach and Lee working well together. Fletch doing the job of two men. Really good work-rate. Seem fit and on it. An 8.5/10 all round. Edited August 3, 2019 by Holmowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Well done Liam Palmer. A good assist finding harris in an advance position. Suppose you could also say thanks to Bruce for giving Palmer the confidence to show his value in another position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode our luck a bit , need to get Reach involved more . If Lee still needs a bit of time, maybe take him off and drop Reach back into midfield and put FF up top. Only thing is you'd probably have to swap Harris to the other side to accommodate FF on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Decent half that. Harris looks very impressive. Still think Bullen gets the job if we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Keep having to pinch myself when Lee gets on the ball. He takes us 15-20 yards further upfield than most CMs. Then twenty seconds later he’s back next to Odobajo nicking the ball off their winger. What a player.

First foul he commits he's in the book. Don't even think it was a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentwalker Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Reach is not letting Odubajo get forward at all with his positioning. He needs to do what Harris is doing and stick to the line then let Odubajo overlap. Reach is just leaving him isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Definite pattern. Lee with Reach then Odobajo. Bannan with Harris then Palmer. The only worry is that Hutch is dropping super-deep, so if Reading get it centrally they have too much empty space to advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Reading looking useful coming forward We really need to get further forward - we’re slow to move on the break apart from Harris and not moving the ball fast enough Like to see Joao and FF in the mix somewhere Odubajo - ropey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your first half coverage of the game lads, thanks. Can’t help but think that ref will give Reading a goal in the 2nd half though. Barnsley game coming a very poor 2nd to JP’s commentary. Tea leaves suggesting we get another goal from Reach btw.

It's quite amazing that's he's come back and looks like he's never been away. Love the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play in triangles one touch/two touch pass and move then get it in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
