Reading v Blackpool (away) 25/10/14

[ So what are they saying about us? ]


READING v BLACKPOOL

POST MATCH


A win at last, hardly convincing though. We needed a goalkeeping howler, an own goal and a penalty to beat the bottom team. But, as the old saying goes, a win is a win, no matter how it was gained.
...............................

I pity those poor b@stards that travelled from Blackpool to watch that. Fair play to them as I couldn't stomach it in their position. 

Can see them freefalling out of the football league completely. 

One of the poorest games I've seen in years.
...............................

Dreadful game, Blackpool will go down, their keeper was terrible.
..............................

How shit were Blackpool?
At least we're not that shit.
.........................

Not convinced today. Goalkeeper errors and penalty for our goals. Blackpool could've scored two (at least).
............................

Blackpool's biggest loss of the season and we should have scored more.
.............................

Don't get too carried away, we played a team who are sitting rock bottom of the table and it showed! Hopefully though it might boost our confidence a bit!

PRE-MATCH



I think this is a critical game for us as a club, and Adkins as manager. From what I've seen recently I can see us handing victory to Blackpool. Derby, who thrashed us at home, only managed a 1-0 over them last night.
...........................................

I think this is the game where we find out if the players are playing for Adkins, if they want to win I'm sure they will, if they want Adkins gone then we'll probably lose.
...................................................

I'd say this has draw written all over it, but Blackpool really are the team NA wants to face right now.
...................................................

The sort of change that's required is defensive and I'm not sure you can justify trying stop the rot by playing defensively against a team that is such a shambles (Blackpool that is) so I wouldn't be surprised to see us make few changes, play for a win and get done.
.....................................................

Very difficult to predict this one, we are conceding for fun but they struggle to score. The form we are in its the sort of game where you could expect them to take their first away win of the season, or perhaps a 0-0 bore draw.


But on paper we really should be beating them, and we seriously need to. We could do with hammering them with a clean sheet for our confidence. Can't really see that though but I'm going to be positive
..........................................................

A sizeable minority of the crowd will arrive with an extremely negative attitude towards the manager and players, almost hoping to be proved right by a defeat at the hands of Blackpool.


The more sensible majority will be very nervous and these nerves will be passed onto the team who will already be edgy due to the amount of abuse received from the negative minority the moment someone made a mistake.

As a consequence, it will be an extremely edgy affair with a high risk that Blackpool will capitalise on the atmosphere and nick three points through a very lucky goal and some bus parking.

Adam Federici: 


Blackpool will look at our recent form and come to us hoping for three points. It’ll be a tough game, there are no easy games in the Championship. They’ll be looking at the game and happy they’ve got us, and we’ll be the same.
