We can't pass, can't tackle, can't attack, can't shoot, can't defend, and can't play. We're going to win this aren't we?

Reminds me of this KIT KAT advert

Except we won't go a long way.

Here's a stat from Twitter, not sure if it's entirely correct of course:

Passes made:

Reading 246
Villa 23

23 passes in 45 minutes.

Seventeen of them were in the warm-up.

Are they doing this on purpose or is it just the style of play coached by Bruceosaurus?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

I hope it's the second then there's hope for the new manager.

This has all the hallmarks of a last straw game for Bruce. He's gotta go.
