Not been great, especially defensively, but somehow back level.

Often a lack of movement off the ball, but confidence grew after our first goal.

Been pretty poor to be honest apart from the two goals ... very disjointed. Once again we were beaten by a simple ball over the top for first goal and 2nd was very Button'eque.

At times, we look quite slick and inventive. At others, a bit idealess and lacklustre.

Defence is weak to a ball over the top, and Stickland in particular has multiple errors in him regularly. Abrefa can switch off.

Barough has done ok without much coming off, while JOP looks a bit out of his depth and bullied. He just looks too small for senior football I'm afraid. Much as I hate to say it. But I think we're definitely harmed by playing the pair of them and with, say Garcia and Camara, you have better, more experienced players around Marriott and we'd look a lot better.

I don’t really see what Sackey offers. He's been fine, but that's about it. I don’t really get what his role is. Fraser a bit hit and miss, and Swindon have clearly decided his role is a key position to try to mark out the game.

Impressive strike from the free-kick. All to do again.

None of this suprises

I really don’t know why we offered JOP a contract tbh

What a hit. Should probably have had a wall though...

Not that impressive given the amount of empty space he had to shoot into.

And then an absolutely atrocious free kick from Reading.

We play a lot of long balls for a team that has a lot of short people up front.

Maybe that Abrefa to Bromley rumour wasn't as ridiculous as it sounded based on this performance.

Apart from Marriott I don't think anyone has done themselves any favours tonight.
