Srappy game little quality from either side. A point a piece just about right.
Ertl caught out early and Reading nearly scored with header, which i think Simmo just tipped on to post. That was about it for first half. We had as many chances probably as them with Yeates running at them quite well and shooting reasonably.
Second half Lowton on for Jordan who looked as though he would get skinned by their right winger.
Lowton showed a bit of inexperience at first but got a little better as half went on.
All in all not much quality from either side and probably the worst performance at home since MA came in. I really dont conform to the view on these type of games that says we were lucky to get a point after they scored because that is football and for example against Leicester we totally outplayed them and got nowt.
Most frustrating player at mo is Yeates. Attacking wise he has got a little better and now runs at people which is surely what we want. His defending is marginally better but his awareness of danger seems to be non existant and recovery runs are always wrong.
Ertl did a reasonable job for a midfield man at centerback.
Doyle - I like him because he gets forward and is not afraid to have a shot, something we have not had for a while from there.
Parrino - not as good as he has been.
Simmo - did well and got great support from the crowd.
Willo - quite poor really today
Quinn - probably best player on pitch won loads of balls he souldn't have and any he lost he won back or worked the right side of the ball. They were constantly fouling Quinn because again like against Milwall he was too quick for them. Make no mistake he is playing really well at the moment.
Cresswell - I thought picked up his game being given the captaincy, great workrate was beaten to headers by their centerback but never gave anything free and made it difficult constantly for them, threw himself at a chance again in the last minutes that no one else would have gone for.
Collins - a little scarey at times but always my choice above Nossy.
Boggy - makes so much difference, holds ball up when required, runs at people well and does all you would like of him.
Riise - Wow first touch brill we may have a real gem here.
Volkes - neither impressive or unimpressive, i would suggest a better choice than Bent though.
