MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

Not exactly very informative as a comment goes, leon. Whatever it's supposed to mean, it's one game.

He scored to give us the point.

Well yes but it was an example where he changed that one game.

Sorry to add to the conversation.

edit: it was Norwich not Blackburn

Can't say I saw a whole lot of anything from Garcia.

He looked lively and wanted the ball but didn’t do anything hugely significant

He drove forward a bit from the left. Showed some attacking intent sorely lacking elsewhere. Showed for the ball didn’t get it much as we were preferring the threat from our centre backs passing to each other

[Sutekh]

A team much higher in the table? You mean 4 more points more than us having played one more game. How our expectations are falling. Remember we were at home.
Agree on the desperate need for a striker though.

Seven places higher, yes.

Not sure what your point is, you could jump up 5 or 6 places with a win in this league. Peterborough beat 2nd place Stockport the other night. Don't see where a point at home to a team with 4 extra points is a good result.

It isn’t, it is very marginally better than getting a home point off a team in about the same position who haven’t beaten Reading for over 40 years though so perhaps there is some very slow improvement but the management need to show clear and obvious advances especially when they get 2 weeks clear to prepare. They haven’t and the next few weeks things get a bit disjointed with games all over the place….

Sat 29 Nov - Blackpool (a)

Thu 18 Dec - Luton Town (h)
Sat 20 Dec - no game/free weekend

Thu 01 Jan - Burton Albion (h)
Sun 04 Jan - Stockport County (h)
Sat 10 Jan - Mansfield Town (a) **
Sat 17 Jan - Leyton Orient (a)

** Game will be postponed if Mansfield beat Accrington in the FA Cup 2nd round.

There’s also a trip to Wigan that might get slotted into some midweek somewhere (if Mansfield win v Accrington and Wigan lose to Barrow in the FAC then there would be scope for Reading to play the league game at Wigan on 10th January).

Thought the game was crying out for Kyerewaa
