For all those that complain about Evatt's style of play. What are you on about, this is great stuff!

Reading on our throw ins are grabbing the ball and either holding up play or walking away with it. How is that any different than kicking the ball away a few yards? It's stopping us taking a quick free kick and having exactly the same preventative measure as Ogbeta did.

Lovely footwork from Maghoma. Not a penalty in my mind.

This was banned for a bit, but then the ban was dropped for reasons never fully explained.

Probably forcing additional unnecessary bookings when throwing the ball back?

Either way it seems like a sensible call if someone is literally walking away with the ball.


As for Barnsley being behind vs Burton. Well.... it'd be nice to see them drop out of the play off race altogether.

FFS.
Maghoma and Santos completely half assing their defensive efforts, Santos with the clearance and Maghoma with the tackle. Massively fortunate deflection for Reading, and we're back with work to do.


We deserve to be a few goals up, typical.

Just like our season, one mistake doesn't remove the good stuff in the match. Come on Bolton!

Stupid decision from the Reading player to dive in.

Collins to take....

and scores.

Just what we deserve. Great ball from JDC.

Indeed. And Collins knew exactly waht he ws doing, drawing the (daft) foul.

Weirdly, 2-1 from 1-1 feels a bit better than 1-0.

We've had a few games where our mentality has gone after conceding. Nice to know this set back hasn't had a substantial impact.
