what do people expect reading to do go all out attack- they would get absoloutley battered.
reading defended well and we struggled to break it down.

Doesn't help though when our manager compounds the issue by playing two out and out defensive midfielders. Milner should have started today instead of Garcia. Any road alls well that ends well, job done and another three points in the bag, but it was hard going on the supporters today.

Shooting from outside the box helps though.

Re: Will all teams park the bus against us from now on?
Last season we struggled against sides like Sunderland ,Westbrom,Stoke.They park the bus ?
so successful are these tactics Red Nose tried to do us out of a victory last season parking the bus.Fortunately it didn't work,but parking the bus against us has proved to be productive for some pretty mediocre managers against Mancini.
i think 1 goal in 94 minutes suggests it does ?unless we are going off possession stats ?Pam said:thedogsbollocks said:A team bottom off the league comes to the home off the Champions and plays for a draw,and some think it is a crime against football ?.Maybe they did not want mullering.
There have been many,many games teams have parked the bus against us.And when these tactics are employed we struggle .
The stats don't bear this out, do they?

Re: Will all teams park the bus against us from now on?
Tbf they arrived at your place today on the back of 6 straight league defeats, in which they'd conceded 16 goals. Given that, and the fact the transfer window opens imminently, the very least I'd expect would be for the players to defend as if their Reading future depended on it.black mamba said:mcfcallo said:this is what could cost us.. teams parking the bus. Not many park it against united which is why they normally win comfortablly
Absolutely .......
Readings defending against United last month was laughable , and nowhere near up to the standard they showed today .....

No different at all to last season, only about three sides DIDN'T park the bus against us last season at our ground. We just seemed to play better most of the time, even during our wank period when we struggled away we were still playing quite well at home. Full-backs are important to our system, we need them bombing down the flanks and getting crosses in or we're very low on options.

Re: Will all teams park the bus against us from now on?
i meant away from home, we haven't had one for 3 years, with the players we have and the way we attack i find that rather odd.............

the only difference is they get a pen every week, we dont.

Exactly what we used to do under Pearce (even at home!) and subsequently Sven. No complaints from me.

No fucking WIDTH, after all the money spent we still don't have a top quality winger baffling.<br /><br />-- Sat Dec 22, 2012 8:40 pm --<br /><br />

That is utter bollocks, pretty much every team like Reading park the bus against United but there system with wingers will usually breach the defence.mcfcallo said:this is what could cost us.. teams parking the bus. Not many park it against united which is why they normally win comfortablly
