Yea I'm with you not arguing .. but if you hear me when I say the exact same challenge happened outside the box second half and no foul .

Foul is a foul in or out the box and the officials must be consistent

That’s true. There were some awful decisions, especially some of our yellows.

It wasn’t the same challenge even Robins didn’t really question the decision.

It was exactly the same right infront of me , as was the pen .

Managers rarely question penalties unless they are properly wound up

You back the ref every single time with pens , without fail

Didn’t think it was a pen at the time
Watching it back I still don’t think it’s a pen

The guy just throws himself down when Dabo makes contact

The ref just seemed to not like us as there were several worse than that not even in the box that he waved on.

Thought we started really well, but Reading slowed the game down and frustrated us. Have to admit at half time I didn’t see us winning the game, I thought the team looked a little tired from Tuesday’s efforts. My god though, this team grinds away, relentless pressure on Reading 2nd half without playing that well and we got our rewards. Godden is such a clever forward, and I really hope he and Viktor can form a partnership . Waghorn is not bad, but I’m not seeing anything better than we had in Biamou. Thought Da Costa was better, and Maartsen needs to improve his end product and stop shooting from long range. Hyam, McFadz superb, Hamer better

I would say also a major part is wearing Reading out with all the passing , it’s brilliant and while we are doing that we stand a chance in any game even if we go behind

Until next season that is. Some people just love the drama and seem to forget what has happened every season before.

It’s not hard is it. It was the time wasting that started at 47 mins and didn’t stop until we hit the winner

It's baffling that they all seem so confused about the added time when their assistant manager literally got booked in lke the 94th minute for kicking off and that whole thing took at least a minute.

We've been in League One and League Two for nine of the last ten years and I can't remember many games where we bossed the oposition as much as we bossed Reading today.

Funny how they weren’t complaining about the time being past the minimum amount of stoppage time when they had the corner (and probably their best chance of the half).

They defended the clearance very poorly and the referee couldn’t justifiably call time on the game there.

Just seen that one too, incredible it wasn't given. As for today when it happened live it's one of those I'd always expect to be given even if it looks really soft. The main thing is it only happened because we were daft in giving away the ball in that part of the pitch. Don't do that and there is no self imposed pressure

I like to look at opponents forums before and after the games.

To date the only fans who have given us any respect at all , have been Barnsley.
Ive trolled through the WHOLE 9 pages reading devouted too the game , and after being absolutely creamed for 98 mins they still think we're crap and they just weren't up to it . They think they should be cleaning out teams like us !
Well fuck you reading your shit not us.

See I thought it was 50/50 when I was the other end of the pitch. After seeing the highlights thought it was a pen.

one of those that is annoying when it’s against you, but you’d be fuming if it wasn’t given for you. I back the ref on this one

Looking directly down on it from block 16 I knew the ref would give the penalty before Swift hit the floor. It was a stupid challenge for Dabo to make, Swift was going nowhere and Fadz was covering. Agreed it was soft, but easy to see why the ref gave it. Looking at it on Quest now I would have wanted a penalty if it had happened to us.

I think he sees something in him to work on. And for 15 mins second half he did ok. Much better team with Dabo in his correct position though

Yep Sheaf just fine covering in at CB for that part of the game. Dabo I'm sure will be hoping he never has to fill in there again

This was a well deserved win. I think back to how we should really have come away winners at Barnsley and we would be top. But that's football.
A good start to the season as opposed to say Forest who for one reason or another have got nothing yet. I remember last season as we got underway. It becomes a fight for points very quickly. Glad we got off the starting blocks early. Confidence in the camp now will give us every reason to push on. Top 6 finish? Well you never know and why not? If the players believe.

Last season it took us 13 games (October) to get 3 wins
