    In my opinion. The defence, for me, looked solid for nearly all of the game. Unfortunately, the one time a number of the lads switched off, they scored. However, this time when we went behind, the lads stuck to the task in hand and scored a much deserved equaliser. An excellent delivery from Isgrove being headed home by Pinnock, topping off his MOTM performance. There's always room for improvement, but I'm happier now than I was at three o'clock this afternoon.
    The sooner we get that next league win, the sooner we can move up the table. These last two home matches has seen a gradual improvement from what was on show before, but a couple of victories will certainly see confidence return to the players and fans alike.
    2017 has been a poor one, especially when compared to the one preceding it. But with the new board finally here, perhaps things can now be moved forward with a number of astute signings.

    Agree, completely. I am looking towards 2018 as a new beginning. Loved the atmosphere in injury time after we scored. Anything less than a point would have been a travesty.

    Agreed. The performance was decent and we deserved at least a point. Really lacking height and power to compete up front, so hopefully we can get a couple of strikers in during the window. We really needed a win from one of the last 2 home games though, as the next few games look tough...

    At half time I could only see one winner, us. We were a final ball away from taking the lead on numerous occasions and if we had got said goal, I think Reading would have crumbled.

    To me, Reading very much reminded me of us during LJ's bad run. Like we were, they try and play a brand of football that their players don't have the ability for...

    I thought we did enough for a win today. A soIid performance against a drab Reading team.

    You can’t fault the players for effort or application today. It was spot on. We just lack quality ....and it’s starting to tell.
