Reading from the first minute showed there plan, which was to press us at the back and shut down our passing game. However unlike Burnley we had a plan B, quick balls, over the top and attack them with pace, this forced them back, we had lots of possession in there half, and resulted us in dominating the first 25 minutes were to be honest we should have been 2 or 3 up. Reading then had their best spell of the game for 10 min, then we took control again.
The second half was more 50 /50 with us edging it, but with injuries to Jenus and more importantly Dunne open the space up for there goal, good strike from 25 yards but unlike Hoilet effort which hit the bar and came out, theirs creeped in of the right hand post. Som people are quick to point out that Green feet are not the best and feel he should have saved it, but if you look at it agan it was a strong shot, that bounced just before him and IMO not to blame. The injuries, lack of cover for the space the player drifted into and more importantly the linesman who gave the wrong throw in were.
We never let our heads drop, we kept pluggin away and reward soon arrived after Austin invited the challenge on the edge of the area and then toe poke the ball away for the foul. Up stepped Barton who curled the ball around / through the wall into the corner, no more than we deserved. In fact IMO AJ should have won this game that we deserved to win. The players, management and coaches all got this game right, and the only injustice was Reading getting appoint.
Good performance

Burnely got there tactics right from start to finish, and controlled this game from the start. QPR started the game with the same possession football that had seen us go 11 games undefeated. Burnley tactics were to hold a high line, the forwards and midfield close us down and pushed u back, not giving us time on the ball to move forward. This resulted in us doing too many sloppy passes, giving the ball away too cheaply and in danger areas. This lead to two good chances in the 1st half both which Burnley missed mean while Henry missed our best chance and infact apart from the pen, was the easiest of the game. Austin was isolated and ineffective has he had two players on him all the time, and by the time management changed it the game was gone. Poor performance from the team and Management as hardley any choices we made that day were right. Onwards and upwards. |
