I don't have much that I can say about Saturday's 3-0 win away to Reading, except that I wish I had been able to watch it. TMG and I were in St. Louis for the Illinois-Missouri (American) football game that day. I thought that I had a bar lined up to watch the match, but there was some confusion about what hour the bar would open on Saturday. Their website said 10 a.m. -- or shortly after halftime -- but an email to the bar brought the reply that they would be open for the early games. I should have replied to that email to clarify the exact time that they would open. Because I hadn't, we decided to skip it, as we were in for a long day as it was without getting up two hours early only to find the bar shuttered.
The match accounts indicate that West Ham used its pace all day to frustrate Reading, counterattacking quickly. On two occasions, I read, West Ham scored off corner kicks taken by Reading. Most of the match accounts that I read centered around the 6-0 defeat that West Ham suffered away to Reading on New Year's Day. I'm glad that that result is well behind West Ham now.
