Good work from Kanu for both first half goals there and Blackman's effort on the woodwork.

Not convinced Blackman had the ball under control and a clear shooting opportunity for the pen so yellow seems fair to their keeper. Not the sort of pen style i like, looks fine if it goes in, but if you lose the mental battle with the keeper its never a goal.
Good freekick though.

Was HRK injured or just shit?

He was excellent, but holding his groin for most of the first half.

Saving himself for Wales probably

HRK seemed ok as shortly into the second half HRK walked passed the Reading supporters on his way to the bench and gave hi-fives to most supporters standing by the wall. It has been reported that HRK had a groin injury http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34101974 but as he is okay for Wales injury conveniently let McCleary on, the RFC bench made a mess of making the switch as the match resumed with Reading having just 10 players on.
HRK had made a positive contribution in the first half but with McCleary back and more siginings it probably means that HRK is unlikely to be in first eleven.
