I have no idea why I was thinking we might see the type of Reading team which we saw against Man Utd last week...

[Avon Royal]

Those asking for a Royals sub - only Pearce is warming-up right now http://bit.ly/RJAiyA #readingfc

WHY THE oxf*rd ARE YOU BRINGING ON A DEFENDER WHEN WE ARE 1-0 DOWN?

Because Morrison is screwed.

[leicsRoyal]

Tough place to go.

[ManchesterRoyals]

I'd put Hunt on for Le Fondre.

Why would any change to a striker many any difference? We don't make chances. What we need is changes to the midfield.

But BM never does anything to change things about

Christ Jobi is shocking in front of goal.

If Guthrie is not coming on now when the oxf*rd will he ever!!!

[ZacNaloen]

We just aren't travelling away from home well this season. Complete contrast to the everton and Man U performances.

[RoyalBlue]

Saints 23 shots to our 4 - completely unacceptable!

They really listened to what Jay Tabb said last week -NOT!

[Simon's Church]

Could be a masterstroke, I'd estimate that 80% of our chances this season have come from set pieces this season and Pearce is our best at scoring from them. This'll end 1-1 now.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Crap crap crap crap and another load of crap - absolutely ZERO threat going forward

Thanks, Reading management for throwing this season away with dreadful signings and relying on work rate and a really unpredictable tactic of hoofing it to useless wingers

Oh and those who are saying put Guthrie on, are these the same people who were slagging him off as hopeless earlier this season

[muddyfeet]

Yay Pearce

[super darren caskey]

Ive been on the fence with brian and his job

But his refusal to bring on some subs when we are struggling and we have a prem quality midfielder on the bench is the last straw

He has to go and he has to go now

[TBM]

Like all our players - I give up

It's the Reading way.

Makes it easier if the set piece is in the opposition half though.

What took you so long?

[Royal91]

McDermott's idea of tactics.

Hoof it up to Roberts who can't head a ball and look for a free kick.

[akranes]

McDermott will be sacked.

[ManchesterRoyals]

I cant be bothered to watch
