    Just watching this game and im surprised how good both teams are playing, think Reading could now get a top tw place if they carry on playing like this!

    Also the pitch is in great shape they i may be wrong but dont they also have a rugby team that plays there?
    Its a simular size ground and shape so how canthey get it right and ours is so poor?

    Flying into Heathrow early one morning we passed over their stadium and you could clearly see that they have one of those lighting systems which are designed to promote healthy grass growth - they give a very amber light. Could be a good investment for the KC.

    Good win for Reading, not dropped a point since we beat them at their place

    Draw would have been the best result, but it keeps Burnley below us.

    I think it said they have to conceed a goal now in over 300 mins!

    If they do have some sort of lighting systems that helps the grass then its proof that it works and yes we need to be looking at doing the same!

    Glad we don't have to play either of these sides again to be honest. Damaging result for burnleys play off hopes, they are 3 points behind us having played two games more.

    Watched the game last night, thought Burnley were a bit unlucky not to get a draw, which would have suited us better. Also thought Marney had a reasonable game.

    That's good, but not as good as us. We haven't conceded since Derby on Jan 2nd. That's 5 and a half games or about 485 minutes. If you include stoppage time that'd be about 507 minutes.
