I am at a loss as to how people thought Smyth was good. Personally I thought he was absolutely dreadful. Missed chances,tackles passes. Looks good around the halfway line and then useless. I would have given him a 2 and a 9 for side slapping every time he messed up. And did you see him at the end kneeling down hitting the turf. I think he knew he played really badly. |

I agree I think Smyth is awful. Occasionally beats a man and whizzes down the line and then 99/100 times messes it up. For me he is just not good enough for this level and if he slaps his side one more time after he has messed up o think I will explode. For me wel drew today because he was so poor. Celar also had 3 clearcut chances and each effort was very poor. Plus I sit right behind the supposed great save. The ball was going at 1mph and was always going to be saved |

I am sorry but you have to worry. We look weak, we dont seem to understand the system and we have no goalscorer. I am finding it hard to believe Marti has started a season so badly as all 3 games to date have been shockers. Team togetherness was such an important factor last year and this team looks devoid of strength, cooperation or frankly caring a lot. Very very disappointing. |

To me the question with almost all the new signings is can they cope with the physicality of the Championship. It is early days but on first showings they all look very lightweight especially Celar who is quite slow as well as finding it difficult to stand up to the standard Championship defender. The club seemed to have signed very similar stature players - it was amazing when West Brom came on to the pitch just how much bigger , stronger and faster than us they were. We will see but one thing for sure none of them have appeared immediatley to be class |

EDB looked overweight to me. He lost the ball a lot and when he had chances he fluffed his lines.
Celar concerns me. He didnt have great close control, was muscled off the ball and contributed virtually nothing. Early days but he seems slow, weak and not able to close control. I hope it is just adjustment but 2 games in a row he just doesnt seem able to cope with anything physical
Dunne i thought was very committed and was for me MOM.
Varane misplaced a few passes but has some potential. Other new signings who played were just off the pace and lacked physicality.
Overall we are being overrun in midfield. The ball is coming thru us too easilt. Partly i think due to Sam Field having the 2 worst games i have seen him play. We dont seem to be able to hold the ball up. We get it and very often lose it within a couple of passes unless they are backwardss.
Certainly the 2 worst games i have seen under Marti with the possible exclusion of Stoke. Early days but things need to change before Saturday or we will get a hammering. |

Anderson and Smyth to me are the same. They do lots of good things but at the moment it matters generally they get it wrong. Anderson had 2 big chances in the 2nd half and just messed up. Smyth always seems to make a hash as soon as he gets anywhere hear the opposition box. |

You wonder if we will ever score, actually get a shot on target. defence is okay, midfield ish and up front a bit League 2. Brighton were really so much better. Quicker to the ball, quicker more accurate passing and frankly in total control. We offer zero threat which could be a big problem. Smyth has no idea when the goal looms, Frey is a tank and the rest just not worth mentioning. Lloyd is really no where near this level . Really quite worrying. Who will score a goal? |

Fully deserved victory for Reading. We were okay at the back bar Paal's error , up front we were awful and Marti has some serious work to do. Forget the 11-0 , we basically find it difficult to score as soon as we come against reasonable opposition . We have little control of the ball, we try to beat one man too many, we don't cross well and don't move enough. Only a friendly but deeply concerning. |

bad ball after bad ball. I would be gutted not to win this if i were Reading. Frankly we have been very very poor. |

We are very poor up front. Back control, static and so far well controlled by the fakes. Marti has some serious work to do. For a start we need to control the ball as it reaches us not knock it forward 2 feet every time. |

Well my optimism is draining a bit. I know its only a friendly but against a mid divison 1 side and we just seemingly have no idea how to break thru. All very pretty in our own half but get anywhere near their goal and we have little idea |

I think that was one of the worst performances of the season. Back line we're okay as was Field. They had a plan stop Willock and Chair and we have a shout. That meant such as Anderson and Armstrong needed to step up and unfortunately they were both woeful. I am sorry but Armstrong is just not good enough at present. His touch is awful and he has to make himself more than fast muscle.Anderson oh dear. I thought he was dreadful. Bannon played as he should of and showed him up all afternoon. Dykes clearly isn't interested in the Euros as surely Clark can't pick him currently. I hope Marti has words as we will go down if we play like that for the remaining games. It should be added that Wednesday were very poor which shows just how bad we were |
