QPR v Reading

Reading got a very good 1-0 win against Preston yesterday so I don't expect a comfortable 3 points.

They play a back 3 so it will be interesting to see if Warburton reverts to 3-5-2 himself to match them up or sticks with the 4-2-3-1 which has won us the past 2 games.

Reading will want to keep it tight so if we can score first and force them to come at us that could really play in to our hands. If they get ahead they will attempt to waste time and dig in for a 1-0.

I think tonight could be a very tricky game as reading play very defensive and won’t leave much space for us to attack
But we know what we’re like when we’re live on sky against a team we should beat
I expect us to struggle to break them down and them hitting us on the break and trying to nick a one goal lead to sit on

It would be nice to get a clean sheet tonight and a real confidence booster for the defence. So far we have seen some brilliant attacking play in our matches and I'm sure that not conceding a goal tonight would be as huge as scoring.

Reading definitely started the better and we are yet to really settle.

1-1 Poor defending from Toni Leistner.

1 -1 at half time and  probably a fair score  based on the balance of play. 

The officials have been poor and missed a clear elbow on Rangel which should have seen the Reading player get sent off and there was a clear handball from a Reading defender who made a diving save that should have resulted in a penalty.

The goal we gave away was so poor. Wells lost the ball on the edge of the Reading box and the Reading player player played a superb ball from inside his own half for one of their players to easily outpace Leistner and put the ball wide of Kelly.

2 -2. Our defence is pitiful
