Their first goal looked well worked and well taken, there was nothing Walker could have done. Our equaliser was odd as it at the other end, a nothing shot looked to have been spilled and Bod reacted quickly and knocked it in. There was an odd pause in the away end before the cheers, did we really score?
The second was much better, a great free kick from Swift and their shit keeper couldn't keep it out. Mental scenes in the away end. It was disappointing we couldn't hang on but given they'd won every home game this season that was a decent away point.
Prematch in the very Brentford Globe was good, even the £11 burger hit the mark. Some piss taking for the guy in Pink who the stewards managed to move. Still a top away day, I hope the new stadium is as good.

Real ale in a plastic glass surprising good at The Griffin. 10/10 for the fans in the downstairs standing area. Not sure who was shitter - the ref or their keeper.
Not sure any of our players had a howler although Barrow needs to man up and make some tackles, and Gunter seemed to get lost a few times. Oh, and Brentford are a bunch of dirty bastards.

The result cannot be underestimated against a side that is full of hunger, desire, commitment, passion, energy, urgency, efficiency and intelligence in their play. For our boys to stand up to that and almost come away with the win makes me very proud to be their supporter.
Now, let's take the same vocal and passionate support away to our next outing in the midlands at the Hawthorns. It isn't really that far away and is easy to get to. The team responded to our vocal support. Let's back them again in numbers at the Albion.
The Paul Clement turnaround is well and truly on! Let's be the witness to the birth of a new Reading FC side that battles for everything and fights for the fans.
