    Not sure why I bother BUT
    it was a poor tackle from a defender and poor finishing from other players that cost us

    MOTM - Jack Clarke. A good performance capped with an absolute moment of magic.

    9 goals and 7 assists in all competitions this season (at the age of 22). It's a remarkable contribution that so often is under appreciated.

    Probably one of the best finishers in the team to be fair.

    Hume had run himself into the ground, as he does every game, and was outrun, too bad ...

    ... I'm usually gutted in these circumstances but I'm feeling quite pleased.

    I'd have been disgusted if Reading had taken a point but Bristol at least played football. We played some lovely stuff, scored another wonderful goal and you can see we're learning on the job. This is the Championship and we've definitely made the step up.

    Ha’way the Lads, proud of you this week.

    Agree, Bristol played better than their league position suggests!

    Last min pen is a kick in the nuts, but we should have been 2 or 3 up by then.
    Some of the football we played in the 2nd half was ridiculous. I am far less pissed off than I might have been. Bristol were decent

    We have come a long way under Nigel Pearson finally clicking and playing his way.
    Think next year we will be in a better position for a push been two years of sorting out the club.
    Think it will be a push to make top six this year but you never know.

    I was thinking about you saying 10 when it got to 90 minutes, happy we put a stop to your run. Not for any dislike of you or your team but thay we managed what 10 teams hadn't before us.

    But like I have said can't grumble at the draw was pretty even.

    He's 20 years old
    He's played 4 games and has 1 assist
    In those 4 games he's almost equalled the total match time he got in 2 starts and 14 substitute appearances at Leeds.

    Give him time....

    Stop moaning man. He' s young lad who's been dropped in the team with no preparation and basically expected to perform - Mowbray has said as much

    That's all fair enough but his output at suderland has been poor.

    It's ok to say.

    I did expect more and to be frank, we need a little more.
