That was awful. We are going to get big and strong physical teams looking to bully us and that's exactly what Reading did. McShane and Ferdinand were outstanding, as was Quinn and the American lad that scored.
We got outmuscled and out worked and were so lucky to scrape a point. CC didn't change the formation, don't know why because it wasn't working after 5 minutes. His only change was to push Matias up top for the last twenty minutes or so.
The game was crying out for Semedo in midfield, Lopez was poor and he got marked out of the game.
Price 5 - Looked shaky and spilled a couple of easy shots on goal
Hunt 7 - Probably our best player
Loovens 4 - Not fit and it showed. Why have a large squad and not use it???????
Lees 6 - On his own at times
Wiggins 6 - Good defensively but not much going forward
Hutchinson 6 - Slows the tempo too much. Had more of the ball than anyone else but couldn't get us going. 2 or 3 excellent 50 yard passes
McGugan 3 - Dreadful
Lopez 4 - Not much better
Matias 4 - No threat at all
Wallace 6 - Good in patches
Joao 6 - Poor service, poor touch throughout the game. Got outclassed by two superb CB's.
Sougou looked a bright spark again. Sasso was fairly solid, Bus had no time to make an impact.
CC very lucky, poor tactics and waited too long to make changes. Where was Nuhiu?
Sougou for Matias, Semedo for Magugan and Nuhiu for Joao at Leeds should be the changes.
