Reading's goal drought continued as they completed the fourth straight league game without finding the net. Reading's only goal in the last five games has come in the FA Cup in the dying minutes of a tie against Swansea - a side two divisions below the Royals. Reading's 0-0 draw with Burnley this weekend was another scrappy encounter with probably the right result as both sides failed to create many chances. Reading may feel they had the better of the few opportunities following an impressive second half free-kick from Bobby Convey that hit the Burnley crossbar. Convey enjoyed a second full ninety minutes as he continues to settle well into the side, which will be something positive Reading can take from the match. After a very poor first half with both keepers having little to do, Steve Sidwell picked up a yellow card shortly after half-time after conceeding a foul. The card will earn Sidwell a two match suspension. Reading had the better of a slightly improved second period but struggled to find their way through as Burnley were content to defend for the draw.
