The EFL Thread

Watched the Rotherham v Blackpool game last night and settled down with high hopes. We were on an 8 match unbeaten run in the League and playing the 2nd bottom team with the worst away record in the League, only scoring 4 goals away from home.
The hope lasted 90 seconds when we were 0-1 down and it just got worse from there. 2 early injuries to add to the long list of absentees, 2 more goals conceded form basic defensive errors and only 1 fit forward who seems to spend more time wrestling with defenders than trying to actually score. On the plus side we did rally a bit in the 2nd half adn hit the woodwork twice but lacked the firepower to get ball in the back of the net. Frustrating watch.
 
Just watched the mighty Reading beat Luton 3-2. I’m not convinced we deserve the win and 3pts but I’ll take it. Early penalty from Lewis Wing took us in 1-0 at HT, great finish from Jack Marriot on the break to put us 2-0 early in the 2nd half. Then we proceeded to drop so deep it was ridiculous at one point we had less than 37% possession at home so no surprises we conceded 2 goals to make it 2-2 and looking like Luton would go into win as they were pulling our Midfield apart.

But then another quick break, great first touch and finish from Ehibhatiomhan just to drive a nail into Luton’s hopes and some last ditch defending meant we bagged the 3pts and have moved up the heady heights of 14th in the table 😊
