[Hasta]

Elliot is just awesome. Looks a level above everyone else.

Now we have to wait till the hour mark for Gally to come on out wide and save us.

If we've got a Top 2 squad then we must have a League 2 manager.

Reading playing well within themselves. If we get to 3 - 2 watch them up their game

If anyone wanted JRC at right back before Nyambe they want their head examining.

Defensively this is dire. What is 'pathetic' is expecting fans not to be angry about this defensive horror show when Mowbray has fed us the same faults for 3 years. Defensively naive and spineless.

Reading may yet take their foot off and we may get back into this because we look decent going forward.

I can't believe I'm not reading more criticism of Douglas, he's been awful so far tonight. Turns back inside and passes back more than bell, so negative. The only cross I remember him making missed everyone by miles, not what I was expecting from him.

Header too central as always

[Tugay-is-God]

We've had a lot of players flying into challenges tonight, not the best idea in a game where the referee seems to be somewhat card happy

[1864roverite]

Arma should have scored that header

[1864roverite]

You get the feeling reading are content with this score line

This is like the Watford match ...... the match is basically all over after 15 mins.

Teams with soft defences don't get promoted

You do get the feeling we can score a couple more.

sadly i can`t see us getting anything on saturday either,swansea are one of the better teams in the division,so that rules out any chance of points

[Trinidad Rover]

Both full backs been very poor. Evans being Evans.

Long way to go to get anywhere near that top 6 unfortunately. 

[chaddyrovers]

Why didnt Elloitt shoot then?

Reading look a top side, big, strong, quick all over the pitch.

Everything we're not

 

Have to agree. Best side I've seen for a long time.

Been bang average for me first half

[Paul Mellelieu]

Work in progress.

For the second week in a row we’ve lost the game after 15 minutes. Reading are a tough team to break down so this game is over. 

Comical defending. Worst performance of the season.

We have still got the half time team-talk

Who will he hang out to dry i wonder.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Game plan. Absolute key to what's hapenned here. You've got a manager on top of his game, getting the most out of his squad and preparing them for each game on its merits meaning they're greater than the sum of their parts and top of the league. Then you've got our Tony.

And it will all come together nicely with 10 games to go when promotion isn't realistically achievable but still mathematically possible
