    Good start. Look more interested from the off than against Stoke.

    Is this the end for Laudrup? I know we haven't lost yet, but it's not looking good. Losing 4 in a row would be dreadful and the manager has to take some of the blame. Great footballer, but is he a great manager?

    This is tough to watch - no style no substance or finish

    What the hell is going on!!!
    Reading are poor and we should be beating them easily we've had enough chances. It's going to be a hard slog this season

    What's making this match tough to take is that we have easily been the better side by a mile !
    That's a big difference to the last 3 matches where we deserved nothing and got nothing.
    If we can get an early goal then it's game on again.

    This is quite depressing, Reading don't look good at all, but we are just so fragile atm. There's no swagger and the boys just don't look like they're happy out there. Need to take the game by the scruff of the neck in the 2nd half, I fancy Michu & Ki to really go for it...at least I hope so.

    The swagger has gone, we should have been 1 or even 2 nil up before they scored. If we could have done than then perhaps the swagger would have returned. We need to turn this around now. Getting and early goal is vital, the longer the game goes on without us scoring the more I feel Reading might get another one.

    7 good chances and we take none ! They Get 2 chances and score 2 goals. I said the same last week,ben davies is far too raw and he offera absolutly nothing going forward,we Are Effectivly playing with 10 men, not his fault and he is not to blame but the balance of the team is ****ed up big time.

    This game was the pointer for me as to how we Are going to do this season,so far its looking like a relegation struggle,i live in hope though and There is 45mins to salvage something from this game.

    I see tactical things which Are a big worry and i see a lack of cohesion yet again, second half Will tell us alot more, im really hoping the boys can pull us out the **** here but it aint looking good i have to say

    Laudrup is not to blame for Vorm diving over the ball. Laudrup didn't miss the one on one with the keeper, it was Routledge. It's not Laudrup out there misplacing passes galore and I include Leon in that.

    Despite that, Reading shouldn't be in this game. We have dominated possession, created easily the most chances and, on another day, could have had a penalty for handball although it was difficult for the referee to spot in real time.

    We are not on our game but looking good in patches. We need the run of the ball or a fluke goal like Reading's first to give us something to go for. Let's be honest, no way do we deserve to be losing this game let alone by two goals. It's all to do now even to scrape a draw and Reading will just sit back, absorb the pressure and try to hit us on the break. Football can be a horrible game at times and this is one of those times. The lads have just got to get stuck in and hope that we get a decent break or two.

    Moore definitely looks more useful and involved than Graham.

    That's the second person to call me Dai and I've only been here a few hours. Is that good or bad? No idea who Dai is.

    Let's go 3-5-2 and get Hernandez and one of De Guzman, or Schecter, on.

    C'mon Lauds, we're banging down the door here...we need to score 3!
