Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread 12:14 - Jan 13 with 45339 views | Monkey_Roots | My first (I think) match thread. I have no clue which version of us will turn up. I assume if there is a 'first' to be had for Reading, they will achieve it here, or if a player hasn't scored for 400 matches, he'll likely bag himself a brace in this game, or the first might be that they actually fill the stadium. Nevertheless, I'm hoping, foolishly, that Sheff Utd was the new normal, and Fleetwood was the anomaly (albeit typical cup result). 1—2 with Chair and Willock on the scoresheet. | | | | |

Because he's a lazy, gutless bastárd. I may have mentioned this before. | |

That;s not right anyway, Steve. Maybe his first double? | |

Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:47 - Jan 14 with 2118 views | jtuck | One of our midfielders bottles a challenge in the center of the pitch and leads to Reading second goal on break. Critchley should do a 'Paul Hall' and hook Willock at half time for Lowe. | |

Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:47 - Jan 14 with 2114 views | joolsyp | We look a team devoid of confidence, fight, self-belief, leadership. Critchley has a massive task on his hands (as if we didn't know that already). | | | |

Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:48 - Jan 14 with 1999 views | traininvain | Once again we’ve looked shaky in defence from the start which is why Ince replaced an injured defender with an attacker. He saw an opportunity. Dickie and Dunne in a back four doesn’t work. I was surprised to see them both starting again as a central defence partnership. Three at the back or one of JCS alongside Dickie or Dunne. Bit worrying that Critchley hasn’t worked this one out after the past few games. | | | |

Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:49 - Jan 14 with 1951 views | OutintheOrne | May as well take the Roberts and Iroebognum out of this team. They offer nothing. This is a very poor team off the ball, I don't think they've won a second ball all game. | | | |

I don’t even think this lot are arsed with him as manager if truth be told | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:44 - Jan 14 by BrianMcCarthy | Cross headed half-clear, follow-up shot is saved but it balls to an unmarked Hendrick who taps in from a foot out. |
Think the shot was falling in anyway despite Seny's attempted stop. He could - should? - have done better there. Nothing could do about the first though. Absolute sickener. Can't really say they've been better than us. First goal a worldy, second very frustrating because there were multiple occasions we could have stopped the move that got them up the pitch in the first place. Might as well try a different formation second half? We aren't going to come back in this shape. | | | |

Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:51 - Jan 14 with 1746 views | jtuck | Sorry to harp on about it but Willock looks DEPRESSED put there. Torn between being angry with him to feeling sorry. Gone from attacking threat to attacking impediment. Chair trying. Hard. | |

Like Northern said in his preview...we haven't seen the worst yet. Once we get dragged in at the bottom, does anyone hand on heart...think these players will get us out of it? Not me. | | | |
Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:52 - Jan 14 with 1674 views | BklynRanger | Can anyone see who's supposed to have been tracking Hendrick? He was deep covering Chair at certain points but somebody gave up completely for that 2nd in particular. | | | |
Berkshire FC Fakes Match Thread on 15:52 - Jan 14 with 1631 views | QPRSteve | It's all right playing Willock, Chair and Roberts, but it leaves us severely overrun in midfield, especially as the game seems to pass Tim by. [Post edited 14 Jan 2023 15:54]

Seriously making Hendricks and Carroll look like Modric and Ibrahmovic. Bereft of ideas, urgency and confidence. Faffing around outside both boxes. No one driving, no one supporting in the box. Barely a shot at all. Woeful. We need a response in the second half as it’s hard to get any enthusiasm going in the crowd. | | | |
