They gave it a real go. Can’t complain with that performance.

Reading celebrating like they've just won the cup. The 10 left on the pitch, take a bow. And the prick in the changing room should come out and publicly apologise and the club announce he’s been fined. 1600 fans went and gave up their time and money to support us, if only that idiot cared like them, petulant prick. |

Really really unlucky not to get a point, last 15 minutes the best I've seen us this season, totally dominant. Reading keeper kept us out. Despite the result, we had a real go.

What a bloody fantastic effort !
This team and manager are growing on me more and more.
Gutted to lose of course but I’ve got a good feeling about this season.
I don’t think we’ll make the top 6 but confident we’ll finish higher than the last two years.
I honestly don’t know what Ford has got between his ears what an absolute Numpty.

Terrific effort from ten men against fourteen in the second half. We looked better when our front three frauds weren’t on the pitch. Not one of them has been anywhere near value for money. If Reading are Top six material then this League isn’t all that. True but we lose to the top 12 and win v the bottom 8. Better management & more experience on the field and we could be a play off side . |

I’m anti Matt Taylor but today I can’t blame him that’s more like what we all want to see Shaq forde you doughnut

Dare I say it, we look far more fluid without Cherry.

It's almost strange to come away feeling so positive about that, but the team played with grit and some of the balls in the second half were really good. Hutchinson and Mola were great.
MT deserves credit for the performance today.
The team can gel, let's get behind them.

Now I don’t mind that “,yes I fecking hate losing but that was much much better, plenty of effort and how the feck we didn’t score at the end there I don’t know! 🤷♂️
You can’t blame the manager this time and any stupid rumours of losing the dressing room are clearly Bollox after that effort especially after going down to 10.
The blame lays firmly at Shaqs door.

What a difference from the passive keep the score down performance at Huddersfield. We've looked a threat throughout and really deserved an equaliser at the end.
Taylor has rightly had criticism for our style of play but he can't be criticised today both with 11 & 10 we gave it a right good go. That is on Forde today an absolutely pathetic red card when we were well on top. The 10 men almost bailed him out but he's coat us big time today, ridiculous

Really proud of the team today,we had so much commitment, effort and players giving their all, that's all you can ask for,last 20 mins we threw the kitchen sink at Reading.
Nobody can say we never deserved a draw there, well done Rovers 👏👏

Great effort
Some things to ponder for Taylor after that performance by 10 men on how we set up and don't invite pressure but enforce our own
What bugs me generally are the inconsistent refereeing decisions - Forde two yellow yes quite right, but some of the others?? Also the Reading challenges that went unpunished.
I'd love for Referee's and assessors to watch these back and be asked to explain

Opinion clouded after we had a go last 15 against a team who just sat back. Let’s not the majority of game where we offered barely anything.

MT deserves credit for the performance today. The team can gel, let's get behind them. UTG I think the team started to gel a few weeks ago and there’s more to come from us. We don’t look a top 6 squad but we do look a decent outfit who will have more than enough to stay up and probably finish around mid table. January will be key. An experienced midfield general is a must as Ward is now a liability and it’s like being down to 10 men when he’s on. |

Readings goalie made some decent saves at the end. Wonder what would have happened with 11 on the pitch. Complete stupidity from forde. Cost us the game

I thought we played well for most of the game to be honest. Agreed. Reading probably shaded the first half but we were the better side in the second half with and without 11 men. |

They didn't just sit back, they were absolutely hanging on! They didn't really have an answer, that was definitely us having a go rather than them sitting back. We had 10 players as well. That's a very harsh opinion. |

Agree, we looked better when we weren't reliant on the long ball to Promise.
On a side note, can we hire Lee Brown as a 'dark arts' coach. He regularly remarked that we were too naive in that game.
