Bad times ahead for them.
I'd be furious if I was a reading fan watching this. need 2 goals in 5 five minutes, and just knocking it about like a training session. no urgency whatsoever.
There are a couple of weeks to go. A bit of breathing space now. We are a bit off form at the minute IMO, although we are winning enough. For me getting in the playoffs is an achievement. Anything now is a massive bonus. Other than us the top 5 were the big boys when the season started. Reading have some great players in certain positions, but were not fancied until their blinding early season form. Cardiff, Boro' & a few others have fallen short badly. Whatever happens we need to salute VI & the coaching staff & our young team. We will be the least fancied by pundits / bookmakers, but possibly the most feared by the other 3, as we have nothing to lose & everything to gain. Swansea & Bournemouth are on parachute payments & will see the clock ticking, so will have the greatest pressure on their heads, although greater experience. Going to be interesting.
