Not done this for while so here goes ....
Norris 8 Two important saves in the first half when Reading were on top
Rafferty 7 Solid as ever
Raggett 9 MOTM for me for that one saving tackle before half time
Shaughnessy 8 Some superb interceptions, he has been back to his best since returned to the left
Ogilvie 7 out of ten every week
Moxon 7 started nervously again but grew into the game again and had a very good 2nd half. Best contribution was stealing the ball from their quick free kick and sending Kamara off to set up Lang's goal (whcih essentially finished the game off).
Pack 8 I was worried when he got booked because we could not afford a red for him at the moment. Led the team superbly and his composure for his goal was superb.
Kamara 9 Three assists says it all, and his turn and run to set up the second was outstanding.
Bishop 9 Led the line very well and got his reward. Well on target for another 20 goal season.
Lane 8 Took his goal well, but should have hit the target with another one soon after.
Saydee 7 Did well at the only thing he is excellent at ... keeping the ball under pressure. A very sensible substitution by JM
Martin 5 One good turn but really I can't see the point of him
Whyte 5 Didn;t get into it, but didn't really need to
Yengi 6 Made his presence felt
Overall I though we got away with it a bit today. A very poor opening half an hour against a very good looking Reading team, but they missed their chances. Then Wing's free kick hit the bar and bounced down just the right side of the line when a goal would have put them right back in it. But we took our chances well and that covered up any other failings for a change. How often have we had similar performances this season and not scores as many as we should ?
