QUOTES FROM THE PRESS


Reading caretaker boss Brian McDermott told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"I didn't see it coming. We had a really bad day, really disappointing. If you come to a place like this and don't win your individual battles that's what can happen to you and that's what happened to us today. The fact they have outfought us hurts more than anything. I don't know where that has come from. I didn't expect that. All we can do now is look forward to the next game - and that's against Liverpool (in the FA Cup) - and it's a massive game."
