10' Charlton offering a few threats now - Josh Cullen's corner is dealt with, but the hosts keep the ball alive and work it back out to the right where he crosses again - captain Jason Pearce heads over, under pressure.

When did it become the case that penalty decisions hinged entirely on there being "contact"?
There is "contact" all over the pitch all the time without players throwing themselves to the floor or fouls being given. But if you make contact with someone in the area that seems to be to only thing people worry about not, it if it was actually a foul or not.
Bowyer likes Doughty but he doesn’t trust putting Doughty and Morgan down the left side together. They would be attacking down that side of the pitch all day long.
13' Reading lose possession in the Charlton half, but press together and win the ball back quickly...
Blackett fires over an early cross from deep which had the defence stretched. But Charlton manage to clear.

is buzzing around the left flank, trying to make things happen. Plays a one-two with Blackett - overhits the cross in the end but positive play from the teenager.

Went to Sky after the goal, Charlie Nicholas reporting says we look edgy if only Taylor was playing but he's out injured. Do these people know anything?
