QPR v Reading

The full video of the match confirms that Reading were dominant in the first 20+ minutes and never allowed QPR to settle into a rhythm - something I am sure other teams will copy. Then we sensibly switched to 3-5-2, purely to match them as we were always outnumbered before. Despite a few good runs and a great assist for the first goal, Eze looked either tired or off-form; and Chair was close to being overwhelmed. Sadly, the replacement of Rangel by Kane saw a more cautious approach on the RHD side, so Eze was further removed from the attacking side of the game. He needs players to pass to!
Yes Reading were what is euphemistically called 'physical', and equally 'Yes' the referee was very poor in his decision-making, placement and nit-picking (worst ref so far?); but we are going to have to expect this at times. Given the inability of the referee to do his job and the persistent fouls by Reading, I would have introduced Dom Ball instead of Chair or Eze and moved Scowen further upfield. That would have strengthened our grip of the game.
Both of our goals were good goals for strikers; their first goal was a decent goal, although Kelly should have either stayed back or come fully out to challenge; and their second goal was (yet another) case of Manning not closing down the player....
Did we deserve to lose - no way! Did we deserve to win? On balance a draw was a fair result, but perhaps a better referee would have made Reading's play more difficult by slowing their play down....
