RATINGS: Perhaps the most obvious man of the match winner we'll ever have, as Jack Marriott puts in a fantastic goalscoring performance against Wycombe in an otherwise generally underwhelming #ReadingFC display.

Full time, 3-2!
Massive struggle of a game for #ReadingFC today, Wycombe a real threat that we struggled to contain. Game management and defence need to get a lot, lot better
Bailed out by a fantastic Jack Marriott hat-trick though, and that's two wins in two!

HT, Jack Marriott 2-0 Wycombe!
A much more difficult 45 than the scoreline would suggest, #ReadingFC not having much in the way of territory or the ball, having to do a lot of defending
BUT Marriott has been at his ruthless best. Two moments of quality from a top marksman 🎯

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.

Generally a really low quality game of League One football all round. Goalless draw sums it up
