    I only counted two saves, still doesn't inspire much confidence, looks a bit like a nervous 12 yr old between the sticks. Hope his confidence picks up but he doesn't seem a commanding enough presence to me.

    he definitely was about to give it and then changed is mind, for some unknown, reason.
    Perhaps add Ejaria to the list of Eze replacements?

    We definitely need a commanding keeper. Both our keepers seem jittery and inspire no confidence in our defenders. Would love to have Alex McCarthy back - he's rotting in the reserves at Southampton so surely we could get him on loan.

    Slightly off topic I know, I see Barnsley got 8 yellow cards against WBA last night, added to Albion’s 3 must be some sort of record even for the likes of them, what is the world coming to?

    A better GK deals with 1 if not both of those situations for me. Watch it again, he's too far off his line for the first and should have made Puscas think, not make his mind up for him. Poor defending for the 2nd goal all round I agree, but he had zero command of it.

    Crikey!
    Look where the ref is!
    Absolutely disgraceful.
    Never mind Spec Savers, should have gone to Moorfields.

    We’re doing well, though, aren’t we?

    Much much better than anyone on here could've dreamed of, especially me ... but ... we would be sitting in second place if we could hang on to a lead and carry out the basic art of defending. Hmpf.

    Understand it was because we were being overrun in midfield, and Amos was supposed to stop that. But he wasn't up to speed and it didn't work.

    i thought it was too early and BOS should’ve come on. Failing that, Shaun Derry.

    I thought that it was quite apparent that we were being overrun in midfield after five minutes. That's why I said earlier that the starting line-up was wrong Os. I'm not sure what was needed to be done to remedy this as we took the lead twice with this set-up. Drop Cameron back and push-up the full-backs into a 3-5-2? I think this was the plan after we went 2-1 up. It didn't work, and MW's subs didn't either. It's not a criticism, he had a plan and tried to implement it.

    I think the bottom line is that we all saw this game as a home banker. But Reading played better than we expected them to. I expected their heads to fall after going ahead twice but they didn't. They came back stronger and we were lucky to get away with a draw as we hardly created any scoring chances second half.

    Swansea and Forest both lost at home in games they were both expected to win. We didn't when we could of such is the nature of this league. ( This is the Championship son ) And West Brom was also held to a 2-2 draw at home in a game they were expected to romp home after playing lowly Barnsley. As difficult as the game was for me as a spectator it was as it turns out a good point. We're still looking up rather than down and long may it continue.
