I think I'll take somewhere between Papers & Braz's forecast final league position or

For those saying it's four defeats in a row, bear in mind that the we fielded largely reserve teams for the trophy & cup (8 changes) & no disgrace in losing to 3-2 to a late goal at Bradford.

Think our loss of discipline was due to the fact that our team was teased and tormented by in particular two quality wingers who run riot. Don't think they had the onerous task of tracking back too often. We were left chasing shadows, tugging shirts and drawn into a series of fouls. No excuse for Brownes red card in their half. Unlucky for Lewes's foul but maybe now we can get him get fully fit. Must win game next Saturday.

Yes, but I forgot that it also plays Disco Duck 🤮🤮🤮

The movie is dated and very very un-PC, but the soundtrack is still ACE.

Saturday Night Fever was released when I was 17. A great film but very dated. 47 years or so later..

Terrible performance, but nice weather and a super stadium (like a mini Man City), albeit out of town. Away pub the Beehive was okay but a fair walk away, a massive Tesco, KFC and McDonalds are nearer, and a Harvester is even closer but home fans only. Definitely a ground to visit if you can.

I only drive because I really hate driving out of London nowadays. Train to Luton and Reading. Perfect.

The team decided to travel up to the north West yesterday afternoon by coach. The traffic was horrendous. I know because I drove up as well, albeit my overnight accommodation will not have been as salubrious as wherever the team stayed. It took me five and a half hours to drive 240 miles, without stopping other than sitting in frequent stationary traffic on the M25 or M6 (the M40 was OK as were the M60, M61 and M62, although I lose track of what motorway I'm on in this part of the world).

Watching Saturday Night Fever and boy oh boy, that movie has NOT aged well.

$6M - I think JJ spoke well post-match about us losing our discipline. Understandable given we should have had a free-kick just before Joe's second booking, but Joe was rash. I think he is unlucky to get a booking for it, but he does charge in unnecessarily and gives the ref a decision to make. Otherwise, a bad day but I'm not catastrophising this week. We will be fine this season. We won't be up against the quality of Bolton's wide players every week. Thought Conway supporting from left-back was excellent.

Today was the first league game this season I didn't enjoy. For it to take until the 7th one is good going. I expected it much sooner. Two drubbings in the space of 5 days is concerning. We can't just dismiss last Tuesday, even with a changed team as why did we sign those players who played on Tuesday if they are not up to it? We were poor in the first half today but still in the game until Browne's moment of madness. We were lucky to get away with just 3-0 as with 25 minutes still left and a man short I feared the worst. As soon as I saw Drysdale was the referee I knew there would be issues. He seems to be our refereeing version of the grim reaper. I'd hoped we'd seen the last of him in League 2 but he's followed us into League 1. I've seen Lewis shoulder barge loads of players and not even concede a free kick. However, Drysdale wasn't the referee. To say a 2nd yellow was harsh when even giving a foul against Lewis seemed harsh is an understatement. I'll not post what I think of Drysdale to save Bert any undue angst other than I hope to never see him referee any more of our games again.

Love you too, bro.

Braz you absolute legend! Thank you xxx

I don’t know that - and I hope he doesn’t - but we will see

You know he’s picking Orsi to replace Browne

I would hope we do revert to last seasons set up - especially for the next few games - Omar as to start as one of the 2 up front

Dazzer, absolutely correct. This week I criticised a poster for his criticism of Cope, only to be told it's free speech. Missing the point that my criticism was also free speech

I think competitive is a great description. Today was a bad day as much as I thought the Reading league game we were great. Reaction from today by manager and players will be interesting. Does Jackson revert to last seasons clean sheet first approach and does Browne now have something to prove or spend the rest of the season sulking on the bench.

And yes we were rubbish today - and a completely different team was rubbish on Tuesday and we need to change things - but in every other game for a lot of it we have been competing and a lot of the time on top - and other than the Reading cup game and today - I have been at all of them

Where did Lurker say an opinion was wrong ? He said the usual suspects hid before we lost a few games ? And let’s be honest may not have hid but were no where near as big with the well dones when we won as they are with in depth everything is shit when we lose

I thought my post was praise we all want to see us win and gallop to the championship, will leave the oh never mind let's have a beer to others:-)

Everyone is allowed an opinion Lurker. Just because you didn’t like it doesn’t make it wrong.

You are robbed of THE 3 points because you only get one

Semantic, non serious question. If a dodgy penalty means you draw are you robbed of 3 points?
