Not defending the performance, it wasn't good enough, but it was nowhere near as bad as some of the reaction in here.
If we'd won that 5 - 0 it wouldn't have flattered us.
Having said that the attitude still wasn't good enough and you can tell the mentality of the players is not how it should be, but what do you expect when your manager is saying it really could be better if we don't make Europa League footy, you get half arsed performances.
Reading are possibly the worst defence I've ever witnessed but that keeper had an absolute blinder mixed in with shocking finishing at times.
Thought taking Hendo off was the wrong choice but Downing could have won it so perhaps Brendan was right on that one but at the end of the day the result is everything and that was a shocking result.
So much for being level on points with last year's total after that game, maybe next game eh?
