Josh Clarke earns us a point - two great saves and probably forced an error out of a 1v1. McBeth and Fitzy other standouts for me. Was surprised Fitzy was the one subbed for Lawless because Chalmers didn’t look like he had things going today.

Maybe they’ll buy into the “Smyth is getting valuable Championship experience that will help you when you’re playing here next season” argument?

Question for the tacticians, because I’m slow to notice things: It seems our back 4 becomes a back 3 on offense, with Reading playing more midfield/central. Smyth (sometimes T) picks up that role on the other side. It seems like it makes it easier to advance the ball past midfield, whereas last season the ball went right to Fitzy or Logan. Feels like such a small but impactful change.

Aw noooooo…….when I read about his condition a while back, another forum member helped me get a couple bottles of Shiraz to him and Yvonne. He really was a kind person, and I hope he’s at peace now.

I don’t understand…..are you saying wind will be a factor?

Hey, if Bonnie Blue can do it…..

Oh, I could totally be wrong!!! Your interpretation may very well be the right one. After all, we DID just get a finance director only this week.

Not cup related but doesn’t warrant its own thread…..great run of league results for us today! Almost couldn’t ask for better…

I read that differently - I think the cuts were part of the original attempt at cost savings to break even. And they didn’t have to go through with them due to the cup run.

Really impressed with Samuel. He fights for everything and really held the ball up well. I would pick him in most any street fight.

TL:DR - We’d benefit from grassroots promotional efforts to complement the efforts of our marketing and commercial departments.

Wish I understood player development more. Someone thought enough of Diack to tie him down until 2027…..but he often finds himself third choice. Starting to wonder if he’s too much of a target man in the vein of Graham and less suited to play the Watt role in Wilsonball.

I suppose signing Smyth could be an acknowledgment that someone might want to snap up Lets’osa or Stanway in January?

He’s not the only one, by far!

If the vote had swung the other way, there’d be a rash of posts about how no one can believe we didn’t seek to maximize profit off this fortunate draw. Some bloc of fans always were going to be disappointed no matter what.
