We were in control until they got one back and we ended up with 6 defenders on the pitch! But I think we edged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a goal against the run of play completely changed the game. First 30 mins they had an easy time of it and deservedly took the lead. A bit of Keogh magic and luck got us back into the game against the run of play. We went on to be the better team for the remaining 10-15 mins of the first half. They came out the better team 2nd half but a sloppy mistake from them led to us taking the lead. We then took full control and created a few more chances before Hughes put us 3-1 up. I'd say we were still the better team for a short while after the 3rd and then they got a goal against the run of play from a corner. Then, as you'd expect, the rest of the game was spent in our half. Decent performance, nothing special, but to come back from a losing position against a very good Reading team when we were without Johnson and had a really lightweight midfield (which showed throughout the game) is bloody brilliant.

Once we got playing we were the better team- Reading did have a very good 25 minute spell in the first half. They also seemed happy to go down easily to win free kicks - overall a miserable team and i am glad we beat their tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California Ram. Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hopefully a really important win for a season - another loss after the Leeds game and the moaners would really have been out in force. Yes, after a bright first few minutes we were out passed and out-thought until the unlikely combination of Keogh and an off balance Bent somehow got us level. After that great commitment with Hughes, Russell, Ince to the fore. Couple of good saves from Carson too - Keogh and Pearce put bodies on the line as expected. We're far from the finished article and de Sart conceded a couple of needless free kicks in dangerous positions in a nervy game. But..we're right in the play-off hunt, Christie's back on the pitch, we have a fit left back again, Butterfield and Johnson are soon back from suspension, Thorne will surface again one day and it's looking good tonight !

Sparkle Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Carson, - nothing special barid - sensible as always pearce - ok keogh - ok olsson - nice to have a left back on the pitch, decent going forward, disappeared for readings first de sart - some good some bad, learning basically bryson - engine looked good today which gave Ince the chance for his goal hughes - decent russell - created third goal and saved a reading goal ( thank you) ince - nice goal and looked likely bent - scored so can't moan good game of football which Derby entered once we scored, I thought Reading looked very decent and if they added a proper centre forward they would be dangerous.

Comrade 86 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 At one down we looked like losing ground to all bar the Wendies and having Fulham leapfrog us with Norwich and Villa closing the gap behind. Some will say it's only 3 points but to my mind this was big result achieved from an unpromising position. Great work lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very poor tactics from them trying to time waste and slow the game down, then suddenly got all mardy once they went behind if they thought we were wasting time.

EnigmaRam Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 First 25-30 mins we were never in it. Once we started playing football and pressing them they went to pot. Dominated the remainder of the game a part from the last 10 mins where they threw everything at us. that Ref was absolutely clueless and doesn't deserve to be in a position to refere a match ever again. anyone who says JR was crap today or want interested should get down to spec savers because your blind and stupid. not the best performance we've ever shown but three points and it was pretty solid overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were dreadful for the first 25 minutes but the goal changed everything, we woke up and started pressuring them and from there on out I'd say we were the better team and deserved to win it. If it wasn't for the ref we'd have probably cruised it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Incredibly inconsistent refereeing today, very weak referee. What on earth he was doing getting involved and making us throw the ball back to them when johnny got a kick in the ribs i dont know, their dodgy keeper only kicked it out under pressure from us, very poor indeed.

I've been massively critical of Russell recently but anyone saying he was poor today has something against him. Thought he was very good today, sometimes struggled to get on the ball but when he did he almost always made something happen which is exactly what I've been moaning about him not doing. Well done to johnny as well as Ince and Hughes who were once again superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 WhAt a difference hughes makes. Decent selection by Mac, not that he had many options with all the injuries and suspensions, but good to see Pearce nd russell back. And what a difference a goal makes we were a different team once bent got the first. Reading looked very shaky at the back ... Gave it away many times passing out of the back four. the ref was an absolute shambles ... Luckily he didn't cost us the game but every 50/50 tackle went against us.
