Reading Rebel Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Our penultimate game before the FA Cup and League starts. After what was reportedly a good first 45 minutes on Saturday looking forward to seeing how we perform against another NL side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishadrian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Aldershot were beaten 3-0 by Dartford last time out Would be nice to record a victory against an NL team before the league program starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 You would suspect it was a strong Aldershot team being this close to the start of the season. So on paper that looks like an impressive win for Dartford who will be one of the promotion favourites. Let’s see how our Rebels do tomorrow night as it should be a similar Aldershot squad. The main thing is not to let in too many goals as we’ve been pretty leaky recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though your're right, it will be another stern test tomorrow night and with only the Wealdstone game to go you'd expect and hope that we will see a strong 90 minutes from the rebels.

Reading Rebel Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Only 4 players on our subs bench tonight, two of those were from the Academy 23 squad. Players missing were Lee Togwell, Warren Harris, Dan Roberts and Guy Hollis. We probably shaded the first half and took a 2-0 lead with both goals coming from Ben Harris. Aldershot pulled a goal back before half time following some not so good defending from us. Beginning of the second half Ryan Bird and Josh Jackman were replaced by Matt Lench and Sean Fraser. Aaron Kuhl went as a center back pairing with Sam Togwell and Sean went to right back. Second half Aldershot were the better side creating quite a few chances but unfortunately for them they left their shooting boots at home. Overall a good result and a reasonable performance. The only real negatives from tonight: The first half poor Live Streaming Service, although TBF it was a lot better in the second half. The ref for his poor first half performance and again TBF he improved in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishadrian Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Yes nice to get a win against a NL side will boost confidence and full fitness is almost there We will peak at just the right time Incidently Ross McCormack 2nd half sub for Aldershot is the man Aston Villa paid Fulham £12 million for around 6 years ago He stayed with Villa till 2019 although he was out on loan a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how many minutes McCormack played but possibly due to lack of fitness he looked nowhere near the player he was a few years ago.

I was interested to see your comment about how you found the streaming service for the Aldershot game. I had the same issue. I was watching the game on my TV, and in the first half, whenever the camera remained still, the picture was fine. However, whenever the camera panned in or out or moved from side to side, ( which was most of the time ! ), the picture became very "jumpy", not fluid at all. It was watchable, but in a very frustrating way. At half time I logged out to watch something else, and then logged back in again when the second half started. This time the picture was fine, and was so for the rest of the match. I thought that the picture improved in the second half because I had logged out and then logged back in again, but your comments make me wonder if this was indeed the case. I see that the Wealdstone game is available for £5.99. If the picture is again "dodgy" for this game, I'll try logging out and then log back in again and hope that solves the problem.

As you say HR when the camera was still it was fine but when it moved to follow play it became sort of blurred which was annoying to say the least. I kept trying to come in and out of it but no luck. As I said in the second half it was all fine. Really not sure what happened because the blurred view didn't happen in the previous game. I can only think Live Streaming is quite new to FC Video and these glitches are teething problems. I presume Wealdstone use FC Video and if so hopefully we don't get the same problem.

Stuntman Mark Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The lads were aware of the issue 1st half and were able to fix it at half time (not sure they could do this live). Something to do with the floodlights and contrast I believe. As you both say, something of a learning curve for everyone involved in setting up the stream.

Matt Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The stream was better in the second half because some adjustments were made at half time which couldn’t be done during the first half because it would have meant the stream coming down completely. The issue was to do with the contrast between the darkness of the sky and the brightness of the floodlights, but the change in settings seemed to work and it’s another lesson learnt for any future streams of evening games or dark winter afternoon games.

Alan Greenaway Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I like the look of McNight who covers a lot of ground and is very calm on the ball. Lomax also looks comfortable at Left Back. Different player to Wellsy, not such an attacking fullback but that may come when he gets to know the players around him better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not so attacking as Wellsy but maybe better at defending? Very rarely these days you get full backs who are very good at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Interesting to hear there was penalty shoot-out at the end of last nights game. Not sure who won it suffice to say Aldershot scored all of their 4 penalties. Perhaps it was a draw ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdelaney Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 About 3 times streaming paused for twenty seconds I just pressed stop and started again no problem. As said the two new players doing well the trailist did not let himself down either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
