They've got bugger all to complain about.

It was a stonewall penalty to us and a clear red. They then shit the bed for 10 minutes to go 0-3 down at home. Slowly got back into the game and took a dreadful penalty to fail to get back to 2-3. They maybe missed out on a second pen in the immediate aftermath, but it would have been a soft one. We then polished them off and tbh could have had a couple more.

Not a lot really. Couple of comments saying we were well coached.

"Played for a draw, nicked a win"

And probably the most accurate "Reading didn't deserve the win but we didn't trouble their keeper".

Sounds fair.

We controlled possession for once, but rarely threatened, they got in a bit but looked blunt and we defended it well enough.

It felt like a tactical battle were both teams cancel each other out quite a lot.

Yeah I've seen comments saying we didn't do much but frankly, neither did they. We both had one big opportunity but otherwise it was very much a 0-0 that we nicked with a worldie

On their match thread, this first one aged well

Absolute jokers. Reading are absolute dross and we’ve given them a point



A much better away performance BUT we didn’t make their keeper work enough. Reading defended well and took their 2 chances. One as a result of a poor header from Pennington, and an excellent header for the second. We looked weak up front all game really. Wheatley is poor, and forward passes and crosses were poor too.

Frustrating afternoon. Reading deserved it for sticking at it.



I wouldn`t mind either
Reading were so poor yet we hand them the game. I wouldn’t mind them in the play offs based on that. But we looked knackered and waiting to concede.


That`s the best I can do, most of it was slagging off their manager.

Did seem to be some complaints we'd be familiar with, criticising the manager for making defensive changes at 1-0 rather than going for the throat.

funny that - Bradford's game management reminded me very strongly of ours. Absolutely terrible, thankfully.
