Match thread: Reading v Queens Park Rangers FC

[WA Hoop]

Reading are a team of washed up has beens / never beens yet we can't work their defence at all!

[Danish Ranger]

Lot’s of possession and not a single attempt on goal

[Rbee]

I would take Chair and Willock off and try a more direct approach, try something different.

[WA Hoop]

At least the substitutions mean that we're not going to suffer the ignominy of Junior Toilet scoring against us.

[carrotstick]

Here we go 2-1

[Kem]

Hard to see where we are going to get any more points from. Need a complete reset but can we retain our place in the championship while doing so.

[carrotstick]

Oh yes… here we go

[Andy_N19]

Lot’s of possession and not a single attempt on goal

Errrr, it's 2-2 Danish, I wasn't expecting that either

[Lee Gib]

2 for Hendrick. 2 for Roberts

What twilight zone have I entered here?

[Nw6ranger]

Never saw that coming

[Danish Ranger]

Well done team

[carrotstick]

That feels a bit better..

[Rbee]

Never saw that coming

Me neither but Lowe made all the difference. I am not convinced it was a Critchley masterstroke as we usually yank Willock at that time

We need to break the Chair/Willock tippy tap approach and go more direct as we did when Lowe came on

Did not know what to think on leaving the ground. Of course it was like a win and I think given a little longer we could have done it. But how can a team play two halves so differently. It seems we go behind and heads drop. I do think Reading took their foot off from the start of the second half which seemed to give us some confidence. Let’s wait till next week we all thought things had changed after the Sheffield United game but maybe their last second equaliser had an affect.

For me nothing changes from last week, great comeback today but this feels like a sticking plaster
over what Critchley really needs to do and hinted at after last week's shambles.
