Boro vs Reading Match Thread

Akpom impressive again. He's not the biggest but he's been more effective as a target man than Gestede ever was.
 
Dikksteel is developing into some player👍.

Mcnair has some delivery. Where's that been until this season? To think he never got a kick under pulis (who signed him).
 
HAlf time - some hard tackles going in from both sides. Tough game. We have played well but Reading do look quality at times. I could see them sneaking a 1 - 0 win but we are certainly getting stuck in!
 
Reading controlling the game for me, but they are creating very little, as are we mind. I think if we see Roberts at some point in the 2nd half, say for the last 30 mins, we can nick this. The first goal is key (as they say).
 
Not much in it so far.
We're not playing particularly well, but there have been very few chances from either team.
 
Would say we look comfortable defensively but we need a lot more going forward if we have any intention of winning this game. As said above, hopefully the introduction of Roberts makes the difference. A point wouldn’t be a bad result against one of the form sides but would be great to nick it.
 
We look dangerous on set pieces. Reading having the possession but the one chance Bettinelli saved haven't hurt us much. Could go either way. Britt disappointing again!
 
Good half. Agree as already said Dijksteel, Akpom, McNair all playing well.

Have to say though think Bolas starting to improve under Warno as well now. First 20 mins of that half while we were using the 352 formation thought he did a better job than Tav did on the other side of getting up and down, being involved both ends.

Think we should be doing better in CM considering we've got Morsy, Sav and Hows in there, and McNair and Dijksteel pushing up to help out as well.
