Wow. This season isn't going particularly well so far is it? 5 goals conceded in 120mins.

Never mind defending set pieces, why haven't we got ANY wide players when the best way of beating teams is invariably to stretch, overload and get behind them?

It's quite an attacking line-up that Adams has selected, which is surprising, I though he might have filled the midfield and have one striker for the early part of the game.

We may have narrowed our pitch but I very much doubt if all the teams we're playing away will do the same to help our strategy.

Not quite. It was 0-0 at half time on Saturday.

What would you say his thinking was? Surprise Reading by attacking them? Accepted we were never likely to win anyway so give it a go? Lick a finger and stick it up in the air? Rock, paper scissors?

Team need to show some fight.

Main concern isn't lack of wide men or strikers but the pedigree and appetite of players like Songo'o, Slew, Bradley... Not exactly "winners" when you look at their track record. Even GWill
