i feel we still had a shot for it until this game.

Leicester just equalized with watford.

You should be pleased, Watford have more chance of catching us than us getting anywhere near Leicester.

+1 ban from match threads

[John Madejski's Wallet]

2 missed chances early doors
Pearce a red card waiting to happen

Thought we were doing ok with 10 men....but those subs just ruined everything. Was like the dark days of december the last 20 min

[USA_Loyal_Royal]

I blame BenSmith91.

agreed! he is the scapegoat this week!

BenSmith91 out!

[Pepe the Horseman]

He gives the 90 other Ben Smiths a bad name.

McAnuff for Hector at half time please.

Are you mad !
We are loosing and have ten men and you want to bring on a defender for a midfielder !!
Words fail me, except one, but i shouldnt use that on here.

We're playing McCleary at right back. So at the moment we've got a misfiring midfielder in McAnuff, and McCleary is being a defender anyway.

If you bring Hector on, McCleary can go back to midfield. You're essentially putting a defender into a position that's made for a defender and pushing a winger into the place of a winger.

So wind your neck in.

You are still a Cnut !

[SPARTA]

Comfortable win incoming

You were right, Ben. Wednesday's pace destroyed us, and we didn't have one poxy shot on target.

Williams MOM, his substitution along with Akpan's with one eye on QPR. Might prove to be a shrewd move, we'll see.

McCarthy's mistake was the nail in our coffin. Otherwise, it was the standard solid display from him.

Pearce is great when the ball is in the air or he can bully strikers off the ball, but put him up against a striker with decent movement and he's in big trouble. That red card has been waiting to happen all season. Cost us today.

Le Fondre and Pogrebnyak worked tirelessly, but both should have scored before the sending off. If they'd taken their chances, we'd have won at a canter. They've rightly had a lot of plaudits lately, but they've got to take some criticism today.

The rest were all alright, you'd probably give them a 6/10.

The referee was dreadful, the only decision he got right all game was the penalty and red card. Lost control early on and it just got worse.

4 Shots to Wednesday's 19. Even with a red card that is poor for the home side.

Jesus wept.

The club have finally decided to warn fans about the flooding in the Retail Park and Green Park Business Park. Traffic is already backing up because of shoppers not realising the shops were flooded, so leave early and plan ahead!

Not helped but selfish shoppers like the stupid thick gupta who blocked the roundabout by the ground for 5+ minutes and wouldn't move because he was going to Costco and in the wrong lane but wanted to queue jump. Steward asked him to move and so did other people. I then gave him him such as earful that I reckon the whole of Reading heard "move your fing car you selfish p***k" He moved sharpish, guess there are some advantages to being a fat bas***d.

I felt better after that

I wish selfish people would do one

I know, some people are stupid....

tight league where any side can beat each other.
10 v 11 players and we were still a threat
82 mins+ with 10 players
away side unbeaten in 10 including decent results against Leicester, Burnley and thrashed Leeds.
A lot of pace that we couldn't deal with.
Wish Antonio would f off as he didn't show any of that when he played for us, useless waste of space.

Id blame akpan for the 2nd goal for the slowest piece of footwork ive ever seen. when he got the ball in the middle he was so slow I reckon a cardboard cut out could have dispossessed him
