That's the first properly angry NJ interview I've seen and I wouldn't want to be in that dressing room. Would expect a big shakeup next Saturday in the side even with Kanu,Anderson on international duty anyway. Think Godden is likely to come in and maybe Allan Campbell too.

To be honest I think we'll call it off based off that.
PWR. The game seemed to be going the way of others. We were solid but not spectacular and kept Reading to half chances as per previous games this season. We were were pretty comfortable and actually the better side in the second half until their worldy. Was always going to be interesting to see how we'd react to conceding and sadly it wasn't good. We looked fairly bereft of ideas and the second goal was much like what we were conceding last season.
We were pretty sloppy in possession all game today and I'm still hoping for more from Ahadme. Won't be too concerned with the defeat in the same way I wasn't getting too carried away with 3 previous wins. Be interesting to see what Jones does next, especially with the front 2.

We've got the 3 callups so we can do it no problem, I'm just surprised we haven't done it yet.
They were the better team overall, but goals change games and we were well on top when they scored their worldy. Had we scored then I think we'd have gone on to win, but ifs and buts. We weren't awful, but we weren't at our best and had seemingly forgotten the press for much of the game that we started the second half with.
Even so, Reading have had a very decent start with tricky opposition, and look like they'll be competitive this year too. Long way to go. Our start is very decent too.
I actually though Terry was moving slightly backwards in that interview and it did make me chuckle.... There's probably already a blood splatter pattern on the dressing room wall if Nathan's demeanor was anything to go by!
Yes, the interview was a bit dramatic but the bloke has convinced a lot of people to back him up and he clearly feels let down by the players.
I expect some changes next week but we have to stick with him, he deserves that much after saving us from a fate worse than Appleton.
Going from that post match interview with Nathan, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall, he is absolutely raging at our overall play, particularly regarding the second goal. Everyone was below par today for some reason, and I can see some very unhappy players after listening to Nathans rant, cos he would have been fuming. So maybe Rotherham next week, maybe not, I kinda got the feeling that Nathan would welcome the postponement, maybe in order to re educate some players in the way he expects us to play. We were a pale shadow of the first three games, against Bolton in particular, and basically Reading just outplayed us today, giving us no room and space, however we should have been able to overcome this, they ain't bloody Brazil ffs. So, be interesting to see how the next game goes, whenever that is because a repeat of today cannot be tolerated...
Did the keeper touch the ball that resulted in the throw in? Where I was sat i was unsure if he did 🫤
Kind of irrelevant really. It was a throw in halfway inside the Reading half which they’ve scored from inside 10 seconds. It’s proper poor defending that last season’s lot would’ve been proud of.

Just a sign that if we dip beyond our effort levels , we haven’t got a lot of quality

Plan A: win
Plan B: lose
I prefer Plan A.

Expect to see Potts coming in too.
