Reading v Aston Villa - Match Thread - Sat 2nd Feb, 3pm

Not sure why people expect any different we only have one midfielder without Jack been like it since he was out the rest are Bruce types slow, pass it sidewards safety first types

Yes mate, only McGinn was capable of a forward pass that half.
 
Hourihane is pathetic and I'm sick of having to watch our midfield get over run because he's always two feet away from the advancing player that he has to close down, terrible player.
 
Theres no inteligence in the midfield just two players that all ways look for the backward pass and and mcginn who works hard with no one to back him up.
 
Lack of pass and movement from the midfield is criminal but really what do expect when Whelan and Hourihane play together.

Dean Smith's possession football is imposable with several of the players he himself picked so how does he expect them to change?

It's asking for trouble and we'll get it unless he changes it around at halftime.
