Reading Earn Home Point

By Hob Nob Anyone?

Reading fans had barely had time to settle into their seats before they saw their team 'switch off' defensively and allow Forest's Zinckernagel weave his way unchallenged through their team's midfield and defence and drill the ball past an unprotected Luke Southwood. With the news of a six point deduction during the week which saw Reading drop perilously close to the relegation zone, this was not the start required to boost morale. To their credit for the remaining eighty plus minutes Reading were resolute in the their defending, enterprising going forward, and ultimately salvaged a well-deserved and much needed point courtesy of a second half equaliser from Scott Dann.

Quite an enjoyable game all in. Moore made some absolute howlers and Drinkwater was wasteful. I've had enough of Ejaria, he ruins every attack. Did it even more when he dropped deep in the last 20. Most of our attacking play went through Yids, absolutely nothing through Ejaria. Rahman and Holmes were bloody great. Holmes MOTM for me, his reading of the play is exceptional and somewhat makes up for his lack of pace.

HATED the Forest kit. Good game between two good teams. Draw was a fair result. Holmes MoM. Carroll a hell of a lot more mobile than I was expecting - he runs like a stallion. Ref was shite, can't believe he gave a foul for that lovely tackle by Rahman after he put Forest in. Colback had a very good game. Reckon Forest will be in the POs.

Hopefully Mods will delete the same thread I started 30 seconds too late… That’s the most enjoyable game I’ve been to in a long time. Two teams going at it hammer and tongs for the whole match. Either could have won. Fair result. Dreadful referee. Moore redeemed himself slightly for his first half display with the goal line clearance and great to see Pauno go two up top with the substitution. Carroll signing is a masterstroke. He changed the game coming on and we scored the equaliser because of his presence in the box. Looked sharp and fit. Hope this is the start of Holmes being a starter at centre back regardless of formation /…

Will Pauno start with both Pusci and Carole next? Gotta be worth a go
