1-1.
Been coming.

[Bristol Paul]

Deserved equaliser, we’ve not been great.

[Bristol Paul]

Getting the vibe that if we can turn the screw a little in the 2nd half we'll get the victory.

Looks like your vibe needs re-tuning badly

[Sutekh]

Can’t make 6th anyway today because of the cr@p GD, still at least putting pressure on Bolton and Huddersfield still. Annoyingly so poor v the “filler” in the division.

Yes, they need a Philips screwdriver but only have a flat head.

I remember this was the case for a couple of years before the 05/06 season, good on our day but infuriatingly inconsistent. It's part of the learning process for a developing team. I still firmly believe something is building here if the off pitch situation doesn't tear it apart.

Ref goes off injured

"You're not fit to referee!"

[stealthpapes]

Triple sub and I have honestly no idea who some of these lads are.

Substitution, Reading. Louie Holzman replaces Andy Yiadom.
Substitution, Reading. Mamadi Camará replaces Jayden Wareham.
Substitution, Reading. Tivonge Rushesha replaces Andre Garcia.

Yeah, Wareham been quiet

[stealthpapes]

I've seen softer penalties given.

[Sutekh]

The new referee hasn’t got the memo that Reading are now allowed to have penalties, soft or not.

[Bristol Paul]

Absolutely not at the races today. Movement off the ball poor, slow and ponderous, rubbish performance.

Seems to be the standard of the general home performance now. At least there’s a couple of weeks to reset before the next game.

[From Despair To Where?]

Sam Smith has had a couple of penalty claims turned down today. Coincidence? Methinks not.

[Sutekh]

8 minutes injury

[stealthpapes]

I think that's less than the interruption in the game the referee change actually caused.

CLOWN CAR STUFF

[stealthpapes]

fair few very soft mistakes creeping in - two players just jumped into each other
