MaguireIan Royal Harte - 6 miss jumped on two occasions letting them in, plus beaten for pace on at least one other. Don't know why Shorey was dropped for him really
We were letting in shitloads of goals and since Harte came back three games ago we've only let in one. And that was when he wasn't on the pitch.
I think he's incredible to be honest. Given his age and the level he was playing at, he's enjoyed a remarkable Indian summer since his move to Reading.
He was ok,. I don't think Shorey was really the problem though and bar a couple of errors in the more recent goals has been one of our standout players. I think the bigger difference to our resilience to conceeding is the switch to a 5 man midfield. That's why I wasn't particularly generous to the defence, because I thought it was only a slightly improved performance defensively, but one where they really got the help they needed from the players in front of them.
