49 shots in 2 games and no goals. You have to feel for Dodds to a certain extent, how do you account for that?

Still arguing about the penalty?
Although saying that, we didnāt have many clear cut chances this afternoon

Unfortunately looked a pen in real time and on the replays

Genuinely baffling how under Dodds we cannot scoreā¦same players but we cannot hit the netā¦Reading were shit and concerning ā¦early season we relied on goals getting out of trouble now we need a clean sheet not to lose
I missed the ā clamouringā for Lowry and Kodua. It was obviously quite understated.

All three early subs were dreadful. Kodua like a poor manās Chem Campbell, Udoh just fouling everyone, Lowry utterly ineffective.
What makes it worse is the three he took off were playing well.
Confidence drained over the last few months with negative displays and now we canāt find a way to score when on top.
All the joy seems to have gone out of Koneās game too. He seems so frustrated out there.

Hugely unfortunate to lose that. Reading barely created a chance in the whole 90mins and then were given a penalty. Poor decision, could see in the replay the Humphreys clearly won the ball. All that said, weāve just not created enough going forwards, despite our dominance.
Promotion is probably gone, but we need a win asap to cement our play off spot and try and find some form. Weāre playing ok, but ok is nowhere near good enough.

So its 1 goal in 3 games and that was thanks to the Lincoln defender shanking a clearance and we then scored the 1 on 1.
Stick a fork in me, Iām done.

Plenty of shots, very little quality. Theyāre all long range half chances because Dodds is so timid and leaves Kone completely isolated.

I really preferred sneaking a win to sneaking a loss.

Well we will have to go through the play-offās then. However, with our current form, it makes me very nervous.
Iām not a āDodds outā person but it looks and feels like this team isnāt performing like they did under Bloomfield

Regardless as to whether or not Cam won a bit of the ball, you donāt dive in like that from behind the player in the box, especially when another of your own players is next to them. Just asking for the ref to give a pen.

I think it was imagined to make a point.

It was a blatant penalty and a stupid decision by him.

With Bez and Udoh both out until today he has had little option there

Yeah, quite. I think the second half really shows why weāve slunk into a shell of our former selves ā dropping Ravizolli and replacing Morley with an unreliable Simons who misses so much of the season through suspension or precautionary-subbing has meant weāve lost the two best passers in the team. The second half shows what that means in reality ā ball after ball wasted, nothing sticking to the attackers, a loss of shape and a tendency to revert to headless chickenesque behaviour.
Next season in League One we will need two quarterbacks rather than relying on one. Humphreys is a star in the making but isnāt a defensive playmaker ā we saw what happened when he is given that responsibility ā a poor tackle for the penalty and poor distribution. Not sure if weāll still sign Simons when we stay down but hopefully Dodds (or his successor) will be able to find another two. Ideally not from Denmark.
