Final Score Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Has he ruled that out?

....would've preferred Fabio to have stayed on in place of Dams


....and I think that just proves my point? Hopeless shot from Dams, but hardly worse than Igor a couple of minutes ago , they just don't look interested in the match at all

Weren't great but again mark of a good team to get something even when not at their best.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

2nd half played with more than one eye on the Friday game, but we're in the draw so all's good in the TW8 hood.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

A- how has he disallowed the goal
B- how has he blown for full time with Thiago clear through
If it were a league match, I may be more annoyed. If it were 2-1 to them, I'd be even more annoyed.
But its a cup match that we win regardless of scoreline.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Always good to win, no matter the opposition. Looked a little stilted in attack still and finishing was a bit wayward at times, but good to get some minutes in the legs and on to the next round.

Damsgaard looked lively, and pleased for Balcombe to get another game, and for Carvalho to score on his first start back.

That disallowed goal at the end was laughable, but refereeing was poor again.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Sometimes you've just got to win, especially in a competition where the starting line up is quite disjointed anyway.

Onto the next round, let's hope for a favourable draw.

Who is this clown on co-comms?
David/Dave Phillips. Known as f***wit to his friends.

although just to prove that even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut, he was baffled with the decision for the disallowed Schuster “goal”.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Absolute w@nker of a referee,he certainly had some sympathy for Reading in the second half because he gave them some soft fouls and to disallow the late goal from us is a disgrace
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Honestly, that was a bit of a sh*t show... We were sloppy, the ref was...incompetent, and it was just awful. But super glad to see Carvs score, amazing for him to get that time on the pitch, too, and Schuster to "score", too, that was some leap. Hickey in central mid was also good to see again. Overall, a lot of positives to take out of that.

sh*t refereeing for both sides
game management wasn’t the cleanest but we’re through and that’s all that matters
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Another terrible referee, Tom Nield. Disallowed a perfectly good goal for us, and in fairness one for them. My favourite moment was when he felt it necessary to run all the way over to the corner to check that Dams wasn't stealing a couple of inches on the corner - I don't think Mikkel could quite believe it, he was laughing his head off.

...made hard work of that....in the hat...5000 my 'arris....next✊🏼
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Although we didn’t play particularly well, we should remember that it could easily have been another 6-1. Balcombe had one block save, and they were dangerous on set play, particularly corners. Into next round!!

As I understand it Referees still start at ground roots, however, they are abused so much there that people are not doing it any more. So, end result poor Referees at the top?

WTF? SKY coverage has just gone back to 70th from 90th+ minute, just seen the Reading goal again! Didn't need to see it again....
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Sounds like our 4th less than convincing performance in a row. Roll on Chelsea.
It was Boston, we have a few players that are way off it by their own standards at the moment . Ajer, Kayode, Damsgaard (although was better here), KLP, Outtara, Thiago to name a few.

I also thought Diouff looked off the pace, probably down to lack of match fitness.

If we can put in a performance and get a point from the Chelsea game then we take the international break and look forward to Jensen, Collins and VDB coming back in,

People will say unbeaten, but anyone who’s actually being honest will see we don’t look quite right.

Over all how did Balcombe play?

We needed some players to find form there rather than just win IMO, but yes better than losing of course and we progress.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Good game time for lots of individuals, if the fringe players are going to step in when needed, then we need thes3 games.

Winners are griner’s
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

Over all how did Balcombe play?

Couple of decent saves, flapped a bit on crosses but no 'protection' from the ref and was being pulled about. Distribution was ok. I don't think we'd want to rely on him in the Prem any time soon but this sort of game is fine.
 

Reading 1 Brentford 2 (Wilson, Carvalho)

They had a goal disallowed, so did we; result was about right. Remember, lower league clubs often raise their game against Premier League opposition in these cup games, so we’ve avoided a slip on a banana skin scenario. Into the hat for the next round - that’s all that matters. Safe journey home all!

Think that’s difficult in a disjointed line up

Any insight as to why Sangare went off? Hopefully to keep fresh for Friday
