#ReadingFC come out on top in a rollercoaster of a second half.
Went 2-0 up, back to 2-2, back in front again, and held onto the lead for a vital three points!

Following on from The Weekly Bobbins’ question, is it time to reconsider the captaincy? But if not Wing, then who?
(if there’s not an obvious answer, that might in itself be revealing…)

In which the Lewis Wing concerns become a Lewis Wing problem
Wing couldn't get close to involving himself in the game in a meaningful way today
Kelvin E had a bad game and still got involved in 4x as many duels
Legs have gone for Wing - needs to be given fewer responsibilities or dropped

There are nights when I'm coaching when no matter what I ask for, every player holds onto the ball for 1 touch too many
That felt like tonight for #readingfc

On Oct 13, I put out a video about how Hunt couldn't consistently get his #readingfc side to create chances in the box
First 3 League games under Leam, 22 shots in the box, increasing every game.

Some tweaks to Reading's press today, with it being mostly pretty man for man, meaning Doyle was often a little deeper than he has been.
One small issue that Reading can have is the space in between the winger and the full back being a pocket for a ball carrier to turn upfield

#readingfc PPDA, above 10 and increasing throughout the Hunt era, has been down at 8 or below for both of Leam's first two games - a blistering 7.78 today.
Can see why he wants his players fit because this is some serious intensity, even in the late second half.

A lot of green shoots there. Against a Rotherham team that had conceded 3 goals in their last 6 League One games, Reading produced a good number of shots in the box.
Classic that #readingfc equalized through a long range rocket of course, but this is more repeatable for my money.

I'm not against AI in data use in football, but I don't really want the same guys who run the CCTV running the recruitment room...
I'd be much more impressed if the club put together a team of experienced football recruiting execs with a track record of using established leading data systems

RATINGS: Abrefa, Williams and Savage were some of @webberross.bsky.social's standouts in a resolute #ReadingFC showing that was enough for a big 1-0 win over Stevenage tonight.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.
