Got back about half an hour ago

Great point today. Pretty good performance but I expected them to be better than they were. I would like to see us go a bit more attacking but I suppose a point is always good at a place like Reading. Thought Steele did well, made a couple of good saves, back 4 were solid, midfield compact and hard working. It was a bit tough for Macken against two monsters at the back but he didn't do too badly.

I thought their stadium was smashing, really good view.

Men Of The Match- Stephen Foster and Darren Moore.

 

RE: Got back about 2 hours ago

Good fighting performance today, for a precious point, but 3 were there for the taking.

Admittedly, it was heart in your mouth stuff for us at times late on- and also for them in the final 15 minutes. Andranik had two great chances to win it for us, firstly in around the 80th minute when a shooting chance came in space about 15 yards out, and he let fly but missed the right hand post. About 10 minutes later he had a chance again from around 30 yards out, with their keeper out of position, but sadly he belted it over.

I would have substituted Macken and Bogdanovic for Mifsud and Kayode about 15 minutes earlier, as they were both knackered, especially Macken. In about the 85th minute Macken had a shooting chance in front of us but looked very laboured trying to get into position, and the chance was gone.

Bogdanovic out on the right up front doesn't seem too clever to me.

And I'd have brought on JCR earlier, as Hammill wasn't having much success today.

One of Bobby Hassell's tackles late on was the sort that stirs you - he was absolutely ferocious in winning the ball!

BUT, overall a fighting performance, well worthy of a point, if not three, as it would have been with steadiness in front of goal.

 

Negative dispaly some say, but four draws will keep us up.
