    Opinions eh, I thought it was the worst i've seen him play. His crossing was shocking today. Give Reading a bit of credit, thought they looked a strong side.

    For me any backing in was done before the corner was taken, the keeper was poor on crosses all game when under pressure, for me he went for it and bounced off DK

    I don't think he was backing in. I think he was standing his ground. But I can appreciate some may feel he was backing in slightly. To suggest it's clearly a foul is way off in my opinion though.

    I’m fairly happy with the draw. Could have won or lost and that’s as nervous as I’ve felt all season and I’ve no doubt some of our lads are feeling it too, as you would expect.

    Commentators banging on about how we’ve stopped Reading stroking the ball about, have a word with yourselves, they’d won none of their last 3 and started the game below us in the table, they’re not Barca.

    On to Luton and another tough game on Monday.

    You can't back in to a goalkeeper even 'slightly'. I'm not sure why there's a debate about it.

    A frustrating game, but we look pretty comfortable mixing it with the top teams which is hugely encouraging.

    I don't think he was backing in. I just said that. But I can see how some would think he was.

    It’s standard now isn’t it? Can’t go near them.

    How does the coming back onto the pitch thing work though? Their player for their glaring miss and Andersen for the long throw. I thought that kind of thing had been outlawed?

    It used to be that if you left the pitch without permission, not accidentally, his momentum took him into the back of the net.

    It’s weird how Dike was allowed to stand his ground against two QPR (?) defenders and nod home, but doing the same thing near a keeper is deemed a foul?

    One minute you’re a big strong lad holding off challenges , the next you’re too close to the keeper, who to be fair has the advantage of being able to use their hands.

    Good point from a tough game. Either side could have won. We are still in possession of a play off place and avoided being leap frogged by Reading. Cardiff and Boro lost ground so it is looking like a race between us, Reading and Bournemouth for the last two play off places.

    VI is a genius and I know nothing in comparison. However, I thought Helik looked tired today and should not have started and I don’t understand why Morris isn’t getting more game time. The first half front 3 were ineffectual. Second half we looked a lot more likely. Do we always have to keep the big guns back?

    Thing is though, if you push the keeper over his line he has no chance of saving the resulting cornet, and that was what was happening

    Happy with a point from what I saw.
    Wasn't a spectacular game but imo a draw will do after that ! 1

    On the whole I'd say that was a battling game between 2 well-matched sides and we should be pleased with that. Imagine at the start of the season if someone had said we'd be "well-matched" with the top 6 in the division.

    Draw was a fair result.A defeat would have been a disaster. M.O.M Callum Brittain for me. Still in with a big shout of play offs.Lots of reasons to be cheerful this season.
