    Never seen a team start as badly as Wigan did. Well taken goals from GMac who was untouchable for periods. They grew into the game when we sat back and didn't press effectively enough. Unfortunate for Meite at the end, Al-Habsi's distribution was awful. Don't quite know how we're 4th but I'll take it.

    It's really not that complicated................................try ignoring most of what gets posted here :|

    Lightning start and then we were just a better team than them, simple. Other than their number 4 they were poor all over the pitch, but we made them pay and that's the main thing. Up to 4th :shock: :shock:

    Excellent win. Wigan were largely poor and RFC dominated throughout. Good performances from Blackett, Swift, Kermie, McCleary. Mom for me, Swift. He got forward a lot, often beyond Kermie, a real threat throughout. Blackett lasted the 90 and was solid throughout, good in the air - most of the limited threat from Wigan came down the other flank. 2 excellent finishes from GMac. Really happy for Kermie with the penalty. He's a personal favourite and works so hard for the team, at both ends. Seemed like the players were reading his flick-ons better. He wins so much. The team is gelling, and improving...

    Good performances from Blackett, Swift, Kermie, McCleary. Mom for me, Nor forget Harriott. Having a natural left footed player with pace made a real difference. good crosses. Created the penalty opportunity. With Evans and Harrioot replacing Joey and Beerans that was an inexperienced side that started the game today. Meite was out to prove a point in the few minutes that he was on the pitch. The future looks increasingly brighter.

    Maybe I saw a different game but I was thoroughly unconvinced with how we took our foot of the gas and gifted Wigan opportunities which a better team would have finished. Just like we shouldn't get carried away with a loss I don't think we should take too much from this. Wigan had more shots and more on target and despite scoring 3 goals we really didn't test Bogdan enough, only recall him making one save.

You can't expect a home team, under a new manager not to attack us and have no chances... We were never threatened by any of their attacks which is the positive thing. How many of their 'shots' troubled AAH instead of rolling…

    They had 3 on target. we had 4 .. we win by 3 goals away from home and people still moan. but hey this is Reading fans, I wouldn`t expect anything else.
