It's a point .. that's the plus side ... Maddison looks a player but looks to have injured himself at the end .. Batty was good til he was hooked .. McLaughlin solid .. but tbf that was about it ... poor game between two poor teams .. not convinced I ha e to be honest with McCann .. strange subs and stranger tactics .. can only hope we get a few back for our next game although the only creativity comes in the form of Toral ... we live in hope

thats not a bad result considering our injuries.Maddison is gonna be one of those frustrating players. I thought McLaughlin was superb. Elder not far behind. I'm still not convinced re Batty.
 
Good point in the end. Great start to the game and Maddison was so unlucky not to score on two minutes when the keeper touched his shot onto the post. Irvine had another great chance three minutes later but put his shot wide. Thought City just shaded the first half to be honest. 0-0. Take that.
Reading the better side in the second half and scored when Long let one through his legs, their first real shot on target to be fair, or to be even fairer the first time they'd actually looked like scoring.
Game changed when Eaves went off and Magennis took up his role. Eaves won FA all afternoon. Magennis won more headers in five minutes then Eaves did in 70.
Wilks and Lewis Potter both made a difference off the bench and in the final 15 mins City were on top.
One touch of class by Lewis Potter set up Wilks in the box and his deflected shot flew over the keeper 1-1 and deservedly so.
Reading hung on and no complaints at 1-1.
Irvine could hardly stand up at the end and Maddison looked in trouble too from a late tackle. Say both would be doubtful for Blackburn.
Conclusion ? Magennis when he fancies it is a class above Eaves. Maddison looked decent but was blowing a bit at the end, but a decent signing non the less.
All of them looked to be playing for McCann and that's all we can ask.
Good point.
Decent away support too.
No complaints.
UTT.

What did we learn today? Play a left back at left back, a right back at right back and start with Batty. Oh, and Irvine can't pass to save his life, but we knew that already...

Was that a cramp in Maddison's calf at the end?

Straight after that, literally nobody went over to take the corner as Maddison obviously couldn't - must have been 30 seconds for them to figure it out....
