Disappointing result today. It's not that we looked as good as we looked at other times during the season, because we didn't. Clearly, we don't have enough up front to be consistently dangerous. But we deserved a bit more luck as key decisions went against us. Thought we were worth at least a point.
Nothing clicked for us today. In the first half, we had some success down the right with Mathews, and then in the second, both Williams and Doughty looked dangerous down the left.
The disallowed goal ruled offside when it looked clearly on in replays was difficult to stomach. But, two identical fouls in the box, one in the opening minutes resulted in a penalty to Reading, and one in the second that resulted in a card against Forster-Caskey, was a cruel gut punch.
Something's got to give!
Over to you.

We're bang in trouble.
Lyle Taylor is a w*nker.
I know it’s not as simple as that but fuck me. If we get relegated now it won’t be just down to this match but it makes it so much fucking harder to take.
Didn’t deserve to lose but with finishing like that we can’t expect to win either. Think we will be Ok... just.
But.
Concidering we had everything to play for and Reading had nothing to play for we were a joke.
We ain't down yet but we must do much much better in our next couple of games.
Today's performance was unacceptable concidering what was at stake.
Shit decisions from the ref but the worst decision was starting Oshilaja AGAIN in the wrong position on his weaker foot, when you have a natural left back and another impressive left footed player on the bench. Selection suicide.
Deserved at least a draw though.
Things were looking good after QPR but 1 point and 1 goal in 4 games have made things very difficult.
Still, if we beat Wigan I still think we stay up. If we can grab a point or 3 from Birmingham then even better.
If you want to rant then rant at RD, Southall, Nimer, Taylor or Solly.
Not at Bowyer or the players trying their best, it is not lack of effort which will take us down if that is what happens.
We were not great but 2 criminal decisions lost us that.
Given the enormity, urgency and magnitude of todays game, if thats us leaving everything on the pitch we are bang in trouble.
So its back to the very false economy of relying on others to drop points or maybe get docked them by a governing body that none of us trust.
Its shocking really, a win today against a mid table side would have put us back in control.
Unfortunately for them they didnt quite achieve it to perfection yet the referee rescued them
I'd have been curious to have seen how Reading would have played had we got a timely equaliser
Shot our bolt against Millwall and Brentford to come away with absolutely f*** all.
A steady sink into league one now awaits.
With the shit that's gone on this season, probably about right.
He offers NOTHING.
The ref and linos deserved to be sacked after that. So So gutted.
Relying on the EFL to do the right thing here OR we are down.
I dont care if the players werent good enough over the ninety minutes, there will always be moments in games when that happens
They did manage to get in the right situations to win two penalties and score a goal so we deserved something from the game
Had that been a performance that hadnt seen a legit goal from us then my opinion would probably be slightly different as we didnt work the Goalkeeper enough but thats not the point
If it is then change the f**king rules first
