Dirk Gently 14/2/2002
A drab 0-0 draw away at Swindon in horrible conditions. Sammy Igoe sent off late in the first half, two Swindon players sent off in two minutes right at the end.
A match on a Thursday, just three days after losing to Coppell's Brighton at the Withdean in similarly pissing down rain, at the insistence of ITV Digital.
Also Leo Roget's only performance for Reading.

Looking back at that season's results, I totally forgot that we very nearly threw that season away. 10 draws from the last 13 games.

Yep, comfortably top in February, ISTR, but nearly repeated the previous season and got sucked into the play-offs.
But, to our credit, although it was 10 draws from 13, as you say, it was also zero defeats in that run.

Yes I was there in the Town end - great day Think Stuart Morgan headed a superb own goal from a corner for the winner? Was the equaliser Barrie Wagstaff at the Town end ? The other own goal was John Harley Dick Habbin cant remember that - was it a deflection or a cock up ?
All goals in second half ??
Was a long time ago for sure

Barrie Wagstaff definitely Town End - I was right behind it! Morgan quality OG of course...the 3rd eludes me too a bit. Possibly Harley deflection/Death error...?

From Despair To Where? I also remember going away to Chesterfield in March for a routine 2-0 win, livened up by us singing "Abbie is a girl's name" at Chesterfield keeper Nathan Abbey for the duration of the second half. We had a relatively easy run in.

From Despair To Where? Couple of games stand out in that run. We won 1-0 at home to Stoke courtesy of a goalkeeping howler in injury time on a day when absolutely every other result went out way. It looked like we'd stroll to the title.

Was at Selhurst Park back in the days of Ian Porterfield playing for us (1976?), a 1-1 draw iirc, when after the game and whilst queuing for the coach, some Palarse oik gobbed at us (hitting my mates sisters coat). The plod accosted him, made him wipe it off, made him apologise and read him the riot act in front of us amused fans. Days.rabidbeeFrom Despair To Where?

I suffered my only bit of hooliganism after that game, spat on by a Burberry-hatted twat being escorted away from the station by an uninterested copper. (Tbf, he shouted 'oy!' when the guy spat on me, so there's really nothing more that could have been done.)

Didn't he have a horror show that day before having his revenge in a MoTM performance at the Mad Stad the next season? We absolutely battered them and lost 1-0.
