QUOTES FROM THE PRESS

Reading manager Steve Coppell:
"They had more pressure than us and when we went down to 10 men it looked like that pressure might tell. But we defended well and it was good to get a point given the circumstances. All the teams are feeling it, we've had seven games in 21 days and it takes its toll. It's nice now to have a break and everyone in the division can set themselves up for the closing month of the season."
