Important 2-1 win, Paudie O'Connor with a vital late goal to secure the points.
Good enough reaction to Saturday, and a great reaction to being pegged back to 1-1.
But this was overall a low-quality, ugly game in which #readingfc were well off their best. Big improvement needed.

And that's half time, 0-0
Overall a naff 45 mins from #readingfc, with a decent 10 mins or so later in the half
Generally a really low quality game of League One football all round. Goalless draw sums it up

Not a surprising result. Annoying, but not surprising. That will be that for the season now. Big chance for the young players on loan to catch the eye whilst at their temporary clubs as a clear out of this mish/mash squad is needed #readingfc
