Reading v Clarets Match Thread

Still struggling to see what Foster offers.

Can blame the ref or them wasting time (who wouldn’t in their position) all we want. We’ve not done enough with all of the possession.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:39 pm

10 minutes too late this

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:39 pm

I thought Foster did OK
Twine and Foster off

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:40 pm

Surprised Twine off, easily our best attacker today

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:41 pm

I’d have left Twine on - done pretty well and has the threat if we win a free kick in a decent position.

Yeah, the man to bring off was Darko but it's always harsh to bring a sub off.

Anass will do us proud

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:43 pm

Benson goes down hope it’s not serious

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:44 pm

Used all our sub windows as well

Hopefully just cramp

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:45 pm

Hope we can make another chance

Linked play and pressed really effectively today.

Didn’t have much service

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:45 pm

Benson cramped up. That's all. Darko to aid him is probably the best thing DC has done.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:46 pm

Great ball from Taylor
But Darko couldn’t make anything of it

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:47 pm

Down to 10 as Benson goes off.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:47 pm

Benson can’t carry on will now be down to 10
Men

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:47 pm

Gutted tbh, really wanted the points record

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:47 pm

Brownhill Benson and Tella all injured

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:47 pm

blind man on a galloping horse could see Benson struggling before the subs - Twine should have stayed on

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:48 pm

This game sucks

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:48 pm

Too much rotation today, wasn’t a fan and it looks like it’s bitten us on our backside

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:49 pm

GK Clarets
5 additional minutes

Stacks · Post by **Stacks** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:49 pm

Cork cannot play in prem next year. Slow as molasses and sloppy fouls all year. Say your goodbyes

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:49 pm

Come on Burnley

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:50 pm

Not often that VK can be criticised for anything but he’s got it wrong today with so many changes.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:50 pm

Benson coming off. He didn't look happy to come back on earlier. Now looks unable to continue. Hope it is just cramp. 10 men.

Cork gets a yellow. Not sure he touched Carrol but those get given these days.

Elbarad · Post by **Elbarad** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:50 pm

Never really looked like it was coming together today. Shame really.

You’d never know this was a match thread on the message board of a side who’d pretty much guaranteed themselves league title.

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:51 pm

Anass clattered

16 attempts but only 1 on target. Frustrating day

SussexDon1inIreland · Post by **SussexDon1inIreland** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:52 pm

Their keeper booked for time wasting

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:53 pm

If a bad performance is 75% possession and 16 shots to 7 then we must be a very good side.

A fair comment but these are, perhaps, the worst side we've played against all season. They've been awful and we've hardly put a shot in against them.

Oh well.
Still unbeaten. Still an outrageously good season.

We fielded a lot of players who haven’t played much. It was never going to be a sharp performance, in the same way the FA Cup performances weren’t.

This really annoys me. Been doing all match and the ref books him when the game is just about over.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:56 pm

We lacked the cutting edge today.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:56 pm

Too many changes at once but also not enough from those who came in.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:56 pm

And that's yer lot.

A team who clearly think we've won the title.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:57 pm

I think it shows just how good we are in this league when the home team/fans are celebrating a 0-0 draw as though they’ve just won the league!!

The disappointment is that the opportunity for the record has gone - not with the season as a whole.

I guess we’ll have to be joint record holders then! UTC.

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sat Apr 15, 2023 4:57 pm

I'm gutted to be honest, I really wanted the points record, one thing if we get outplayed with our team but when you make so many rotations. We had a real chance at making history.
