Oh well.

It's not even half-time yet. We can do it. Look at all the other times we have come back from 1 down to win ..... Oh!!

[blueroyals]

On the bright side, this is Pog's last 120 minutes in a Reading shirt

[Sutekh]

So now we've got to come from behind to win for the first time since the opening day with a depleted team carrying injuries

as soon as genome said nailed on nil nil, i was thinking well there is donny's cue to score...

Blackburn winning so now on equal points with us!

[Big Ern]

Oh dear. Chump football next season then!

Even if we did fluke getting into the playoffs, we would still be playing Chump football next season. We wouldn't even make it past the semi's

I personally hope we don't make the pay offs as it will just drag out this terrible season and a team as crap as us don't deserve a chance to go up.

[Libertine]

The boys need to figure this out on the fly. Crunch time, anything but 3 points won't do! They need to dig deep somehow...

[Sutekh]

While a win is vital a draw today would still leave us with a good chance given the Forest v Brighton fixture next week

I agree we wouldn't make it through the play-offs but it would bring in some more income to the club!

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

we play a good burnley team, although they have nothing to play for it wont be easy.

Add to that Jobi, McCarthy, Alf, Gunter to name but a few

[ROWY]

Prediction. 1-3
We can do this easy

[Sutekh]

So was their goal the usual defensive cock up or was it rather good and possibly not something we could have stopped anyway

Needless to say, Sharp was involved.

[Libertine]

We've had one attempt on goal (off target) and 39% possession in the first 35 minutes...

[strap]

Gozi Ugwu to make his debut coming on as a sub and scoring a hat-trick to imortalise himself in RFC folklore - anyone, anywhere??

[blueroyals]

Pog isn't on the pitch, we score 2 in 25 minutes.

Pog comes on, we haven't scored since in 105+ minutes.

Good riddance

Gate receipts on 24,000 will not stop the massive fire sale we have in the close season. Even if by some miracle we got to the final, anyone who could command a few will be sold. Naturally I am discounting the possibility of us winning it even if we got there.

Now 45% possession according to BBC
