A fair match report.

Lovely jubbly for the result and performance.

I commented a couple of games ago that Lego was a bit anonymous but today he was fantastic. From only seeing it live, his booking was a bit of joke as it looked like he just won the header.

2 important saves from Clint which were as good as a goal. Rob Dickie and James Henry were also excellent. Cracking run by Riccy for the 2nd goal.

All round just bloody brilliant that we won a vital game, especially after the results elsewhere.

Powell on Shrimpers defeat at Oxford U.

Well at best that can be described as giving only a little credit to us considering his side was outplayed.

Dave Pritchard’s recent piece on the likely points total needed.

I suggested 52 when things were looking perilous.

So target Doncaster and Rochdale for between two and six points and regard Blackburn and Wigan as free hits. Anything from those two - even a point - would be regarded as a bonus.

I thought ex-Reading striker Simon Cox was trying to get ex-Reading defender Rob Dickie sent off.

Cox trying every trick in the book. Going to Ground too easily, backing in, feigning injury...

Dickie was a colossus for the U’s.

I think we’ll be ok as long as we don’t lose to Rochdale, as we’d be depriving them of points too

They will now miss Ian Henderson for 4 games (including ours) after he got sent off today as well. 20 goals this season in all comps

Looking at the history of those totals - poor old Torquay Utd were harshly relegated from L1
with 51 pts in 2005.

Great result today and a fine performance, anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly a wanka!

My first grandchild was born on Thursday and I think he's made all the difference...we have a 100% record during his entire lifetime so far. Mascot material.

TOday we played the way we should have all season - as a skilful hard working mid table side, just a couple of players short of being playoff contenders. So many wrong turnings and false starts, but I think we’re going in the right direction as long as we don’t mess up the next few games.

A well deserved win, the organisation that Robinson has built in the side and the commitment that he asks for really showed today, we play narrow because we have no other option but the huge improvement in home performances under Robinson should keep us safe, I fancy us to beat Rochdale here, despite the panicking old women making out they are Real Madrid.

Some great performances but for me over the last few weeks it’s Dickie who has stepped up and embarrassed the supposed ITK gossips who said that Readings youth cone men never rated him, as if youth coaches in this country can produce quality centre backs who can actually defend anyway rather than midget sideways passing midfielders, the boy is a proper centre half who wins every thing that comes near him, miles above who ever Clotet would of signed to play at the back.

Is that including our superior goal difference? Rochdale aside, it’s worth a point against the other clubs fighting relagation.

Been working most of the day and tried to listen to the match but kept getting interrupted!! ?. I did hear the shock of the commentators voice on Ricci’s Goal and just seen why but just goes to show what happens when you throw crosses and shots in at L1 goalkeepers!
Well done to the lads that stepped up under immense pressure. Pretty sure this win will secure the L1 status but definitely need to keep this up and who knows we might shock Wigan!!

 

[Fourthstand]

So, was the first non goal over the line or not?Not sure on several viewings. Thoughts?

 

[Whingit]

Who gets dropped when Nelson is 100%? Mousinho obvious choice, but maybe Mowatt will make way to push Cam up and play Mousinho at the base of the diamond. Think that's what happened when he came on.

Great win, I fancy us to get something at Wigan.
