McRightSide Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I do love how disastrous that spell was, it's comically bad Van Aken gives it the old 50p head and not content with that...cleans out the teammate in the next challenge Meanwhile Dawson does his best Captain Sir Tom Moore impression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great recovery from a standing start from Flint and the way he tiptoes across the goal line like he's at iceSheffield is also great. Interesting the contrast between playing out from the back (not saying we should do this btw our defenders dont have the touch bless em) and the up and under from kick off. One retains possession in a dangerous area; the other gives it away under no pressure. Maybe the idea is just to catch the oppo cold even if it means not everyone on your own team gets a touch of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been doing this 'hoof it forward from kick off' thing for years tho. We can blame Monk for continuing it, but he didn't start it. I think we were doing it under everyone since Carlos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just seen Readings first goal against Blackburn - after about 9 seconds. OK, they got a lucky deflection off a defender, but if there’s ever an argument against just aimlessly booting the ball immediately out of play, this is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone actually know why we seem to do this? Is there a secret within football that suggests this is a good thing to do or is it because we're bobbins and can't actually pass the ball to anyone in our team?

Flat Owl Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Punch Akinfenwa spark out and wander around windmilling when the ref pulls out a straight red for any CB in the vicinity.... Edited October 30, 2020 by Flat Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambownumber5 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I would suggest a sustained 10 second Artillery barrage. Then let our lads storm out of the tunnel while their still shell shocked and have a team of snipers on the roof of the South stand providing cover fire, picking off any of any of them that are still providing resistance. Even then Harris will just blaze it high and wide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to get our eye in early in preperation for the following 89minutes of punting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
