Adkins was out-thought and Reading outplayed. We looked dangerous and they didn't, for the most part.
100% agree, dominated possession, created several clear cut chances away from home against a team which will be up there at the end of the season. We would not have played that attacking style under Gus in my opinion. Shame about Ulloa but I thought Barnes was very good when he came on.

Yes, keep playing like this and confidence will grow and we will start putting chances away.

Looked quality last season but couldn't score last season either. Just saying.

Great to see Ashley Barnes looking sharp. Perfect chance now to secure his starting place.

We dominated Reading. Played some good football and kept the ball well for the away side. Barnes was unlucky in front of goal. Would you have taken a point before KO? Of course you would.

Reading keeper MOM, if you can find negatives in that performance then you are one demanding mother ****er

It was refreshing to see offensive subs, rather than defensive ones. I think we need to be quicker on the counter attack, we really slowed it down and they managed to rally and defend easily.
oh does that make our finishing acceptable then...........

Very encouraging performance. Would expect us to finish above Reading.

Shots on target are all you can ask for, if the keeper has a blinder not much you can do about it.

Sorry didn't realise that all shots have to be on target and that full backs are expected to score.

Not only was their goalkeeper MOTM, they have just been showing the quality of his saves and talking about him as a future England keeper. I think that says our finishing was pretty good..... although obviously not quite good enough.
