Thank the Lord for Dwight Gayle is all i can say about Saturday's game. The first half was about as bad as it gets, another team coming here who, if they had a striker worth his salt, would have been 3-0 up by half time but thankfully, as Jacko said correctly last season, this league is truly awful so we got away with it again.
I said to friends at half time we will still win the game comfortably as you could see the Reading defence was not up to much, we just hadn't tested them. Keeper and defender had an absolute shocker for the first goal and the rest was thankfully history.
One of the worst games I have seen Livermore have, and that is saying something. Lost count of the number of simple passes he sent wayward. Felt extremely sorry for Mears, he knows he isn't up to it and grew further and further into his shell as the game wore on, signing him was an utter shocker from Darren and the fact he has played him in a few games even worse.
Thankfully our quality in attacking areas saw us through the game, but I remain dissatisfied by performances. We will win promotion at a canter, but there are a number of cracks being seriously papered over by Gayle and Barnes currently.
