Fully deserved a point against a good side. Let's hope results later this afternoon go our way.

Lovely worked goal from the free kick. Didn`t go but seen it on Sky sports news.

Not sure we did deserve a point, other than the last 5 minutes we hardly got into their half and we’re very slow on the counter. Still, a good point nonetheless.

It was an excellent away performance thoroughly deserving of a point . If you only spend the few seconds in the opposing half required to put the ball in their net, nothing else matters. On another day that could be enough to take all 3pts. EDIT Have to say I think the 5pt cushion makes us safe.

Just slightly disappointing we've gone ahead in all of the last 3 games away and not won any of them, so maybe a few tweaks to approach needed.

There have been some great backs-to-the-wall performances recently and Gomes has done a brilliant job but there is so much to be done. We are still terrible at keeping possession to me eyes. Everything is slightly ponderous and lacking in confidence still. We receive the ball then look up, shield the ball, look for a man who then gets closed down..... then the man in possession either gets robbed, or, if he passes it, we lose it because it’s been telegraphed. Other players are not moving into space to give options which doesn’t help. Fortunately we have a very strong defence and keeper and are pretty good on the sucker-punch break… More →

Movement has been a problem for a long time. I’ve lost count of the times Swift has been on the ball but had to delay the pass because of a lack of options. However we are now a really tough side to beat and Meite is doing brilliantly. We are not safe yet but I’m hoping we get our best gate of the season on Monday against a team who have far more important games coming up than the one against us. Hopefully we can beat West Brom which I’m sure will see us safe.

I think that’s a little harsh RR Our recent results tell you we aren’t miles away. We’ve massively improved at ball retention and movement, though of course there is still plenty of work to be done, least of all in the next 3 games

Should have been all three. A really good performance, mostly. Gunter. One Job. Stop the cross. Didn't. Repeatedly. Especially as their man of the match had worked off of Blackett. So should have been three points.

I thought there was a difference between the sides in spirit and attitude, Reading really stepped up when needed and City seemed to me to lack leadership and responsibility for a side in their position

Strange game really, didn't think we played well at all, yet there were never really any moments I was worried that we'd lose. There were some real basics missing out there today, the retaining of possession was poor, we weren't winning second balls until the last 10 minutes, there was a real lack of pressure on their wide players throughout Martinez 5 - caught in no man's land for their goal, didn't have too much else to do Gunter 4 - really poor. Crossing was shocking throughout and his pressure of the winger was awful, led to their goal Yiadom 6 - some good things but never really looked comfortable there and made mistakes… More →
