Fox 5.5
Solly- 6 (neat and tidy as usual but barely crossed the halfway line in the second half)
Bauer- 7 (ironically one of our best players - even the two yellows were professional)
Diarra- 7 (probably our best player - the fulcrum for our patient passing)
Bergdich - 5 (strange he started not Fox - not clear what he adds)
Berg Gudmundsson - 5 (off the pace)
Jackson - 6 (we went backwards after he went off - did well in the holding role)
Cousins - 6 (always busy but on a tough afternoon)
McAleny - 3 (what's the point of this loan when we need a keeper and striker?)
Ahearne Grant - 5 (eager runner but should be on loan in League One not starting for us)
Moussa - 7 (impressive - presumably only went off for fitness reasons)
Watt - 5 (made sense to give him 35mins but totally isolated)
Fox- 3 (probably lost his man for the goal but shouldn't have been there in the first place)
Solly 6
Bauer 7
Diarra 7
Bergdich 4 - not suited to English football.
Gudmundsson 5
Jackson 5
Cousins 5
McAlney 4 - not good enough for Championship football
Ahearne-Grant 6
Moussa 5
Watt 6
Fox 5
Solly- 6.5
Bauer- 6 (loses mark for red card)
Diarra- 7.5
Bergdich - 6
Berg Gudmundsson - 5
Jackson - 6
Cousins - 5
McAleny - 4
Ahearne Grant - 6
Moussa - 6.5
Watt - 6
Fox- 5
Solly - 7.5 Excellent defensively. Offered a bit going forward.
Bauer - 6.5 Good game apart from being sent off!
Diarra - 8 Committed defender assured on the ball. Class. As he has been all season
Bergdich - 5 Did plenty ok, but his positioning was very questionable. Blackman and Gunther bossed it down his side.
Berg Gudmundsson - 4 As poor as I've seen him. Anonymous. Knackered.
Jackson - 5.5 OK - a hard task in the middle.
Cousins - 5.5 put himself about, not great on the ball today.
McAleny - 4 Feeble.
Ahearne Grant - 5.5 Tireless worker. Had to live on scraps.
Moussa - 6 dropped back and saw more of the ball than KAG. Looks a decent player, but I suspect he'll find his position on the wing.
Watt - 5.5 Isolated. Please don't stop running at players Tony, it'll come.
Fox- 5 He was a long way away. Frankly I didn't see much of what he did!
Solly 6 competent
Bergdich 5 ok
Bauer 8 immense and will be missed
Diarra 7 quality display as ever but would love to see him in midfield if we could trust another centre back
Gudmusson 5 Disappointing
Jackson 6 ok
Cousins 7 worked hard as ever
Mcaleny 4 completely ineffective
Aherne Grant 65worked hard but not strong enough
Moussa 6 Did ok
Watt 5 ineffective
Fox 5 ok
Solly- 6 Not a patch on last seasons performance at Reading
Bauer- 7 Was looking solid with Diarra
Diarra- 7 Quality
Bergdich - 5 Kept losing his man
Berg Gudmundsson - 5 Annonymous
Jackson - 6 Slow but tidy and much needed captain qualities
Cousins - 5.5 Still giving ball away too much
McAleny - 3 Shocking
Ahearne Grant - 5 Unfair to keep him in the firing line, too early for him
Moussa - 6 Most threatening player in a red shirt
Watt - 5 Very isolated when he came on
Fox- 4 Didn't really notice him
Solly 7 -
Diarra 7.5
Bauer 7 - was outstanding in my view when he was on and would have given him 9
Bergdich 6
McAlney 4 - positional sense in 1st half was dreadful. Luckily Reading didn't make the most of this
Cousins 7.5 - did well particularly defensively
Jackson 7 -
Gudmundsson 5.5 - was always shut down by 2 players when he got the ball - why doesn't he switch wings sometimes?
Moussa 6.5 - did ok but needs a bigger partner who can hold it up
A Grant 6 - did ok but needs a bigger partner who can hold it up
Watt 4.5 - did he contribute anything? did less running in last 10 than anyone on the pitch
Fox 6
Pope- 7 nothing wrong today
Solly- 7 tried hard to force attacking play and no real threat from his side
Bauer- 7 not even going to blame him for the sending off as was under so much pressure something had to give
Diarra - 7.5 very solid
Bergdich - 4.5 doesn't seem to know his own position
Berg Gudmundsson - 5 pretty ineffective
Jackson - 5 sat way too deep
Cousins - 6 battled hard but lacks vision
McAleny - 4 offers nothing, shouldn't be in the team
Ahearne Grant - 5 needs a loan
Moussa - 7 one of the few brighter spots. At least had some movement in trying to keep things going but those around him were static.
Watt - 5 didn't do much but little support
Fox- 5 should have played instead of Bergdich but I think it was a mistake to put him to centre back after the sending off.

Solly- 6 didn't do anything wrong but nothing amazing, not been to his standards recently
Bauer- 5 minus one for sending off
Diarra- 6.5 best defender for us
Bergdich - 5 positioning was poor
Berg Gudmundsson - 5.5 had our shot on target but nothing else
Jackson - 5.5 don't remember a pass forward, seems better off the bench making an impact but we desperately need his leadership
Cousins - 5.5 poor game by his standards
McAleny - 4.5 don't know what he brings to our team, waste of a loan
Ahearne Grant - 5.5 only a kid asked to lead the line against a good Reading defence
Moussa - 7 wish he could've lasted the full 90, we didn't do anything in the game but that was the turning point. Good player
Watt - 6 made no sense not to start him, should've came on at half time but no supply
Fox- 5.5 don't remember any real contribution, didn't do anything wrong but like the rest of them, didn't play well as a whole
Haven't been to an away game for a little while but if that's how we play, you can see why we haven't won away from home all season. Really poor.
For me what summed it up is someone behind me when leaving said, "I would've rather spent the money for today on a fruit machine."
Don't get me wrong, I fully support and encourage the team but it's very hard to be positive when we were that awful.
Solly- 5
Bauer- 4 -1pt for two yellows
Diarra- 6 best drfender
Bergdich - 5
Berg Gudmundsson - 5
Jackson 5
Cousins - 5
McAleny - 4 what did he do.
Ahearne Grant - 4 light weight no threat going forwrd.

Moussa - 6
Watt - 5
Fox- 4
Solly- 5- nothing special, seems to of lost his way
Bauer- 6 - solid, no complaints about the two yellows
Diarra- 6 - Player of the season so far, needs to be captain when JJ aint playing
Bergdich - 4 - makes fox look like ashley cole
Berg Gudmundsson - 4 - very poor again, overrated.
Jackson - 6 - played better than i expected, would like to see him push forward more
Cousins - 6 - good tenacity and work rate, passing lets him down, but at least he cares
McAleny - 3- send him back . Worst loanee i think we've had
Ahearne Grant - 5- out of his depth when up front alone.
Moussa - 6 our best player before being taken off.
Watt - 5
Fox- 4- should it of been him marking the goalscorer?
Solly- 6 - Played ok
Bauer- 6 - Despite the two yellow cards, played well.
Diarra- 7 - Looked very good.
Bergdich - 4 - Very poor in the first half.
Berg Gudmundsson - 5 - Knackered and surprised he started.
Jackson - 6 - Obviously told to keep possession of the ball and thought he did that well.
Cousins - 6 - Good work rate but passing was poor at times.
McAleny - 3- I can't see what he offers to the team and certainly not of a premiership standard. No wiliness to run at players.
Ahearne Grant - 5- Very hard game for the forwards. Only asked to chase a lost long ball or a pass to feet, with the back to the goal.
Moussa - 6 - Did ok and expect him to start on Tuesday.
Watt - 5 - Again he doesn't like chasing the ball and likes to come deep and run at players. Under the present management I don't see him offering much. Like Grant struggled with passes to the feet, with his back to the goal.
Fox- 4- Probably at faul for the goal but think he should have started the game, unless carrying an injury.
