Jack Marriott's finishing has transformed Reading's season, and today he gave an exemplary lesson in the
art of finishing which deprived Wycombe of a deserved victory with a stunning hat-trick. Like all great
finishers, his anticipation and awareness allowed him to react faster than everyone around him. He struck
the ball with remarkable power and unerring accuracy giving Wycombe 'keeper Norris absolutely no chance
of making a save.
This result leaves Reading just three points behind sixth placed Huddersfield with a game in hand, with
fifteen matches remaining. That said, they are not yet playing the quality of football to be considered
serious contenders for promotion, although with Marriott in his current form, anything seems possible!
Wycombe, consider themselves to be credible play-off candidates, and dominate dpossession (65%) from
start to finish. Reading won their only corner of the match on the hour and only managed four attempts on
goal compared to Wycombe's twenty-four. It was a statistical massacre. I have rarely seen such a disjointed
Reading performance.
