Back in the play off spots now. Sheff Utd, Norwich, Watford and Dingles above us. You have to say they are the teams to likely stay up there at the end of the season. Got to keep fighting for those last 2 spots because they are there for the taking.

Absolutely quality. Tie him up to a contract before all the Premier League vultures start circling!

The pass from Dacky for the goal was sublime. He’s looking like he’s getting back to his best. Who knows what the season holds but hopefully BBD stays and Dack stays injury free and they can strike up a long awaited and fruitful partnership up front!

What’s your problem with Hedges?

For me priority is: 1. Midfielder to cover the Travis role. We haven’t replaced Johnson or Davenport who could play there. 2. At least 1 or 2 more quality attackers that are proven goal scorers, especially if BBD is sold. The likes of Dolan, Vale and Markanday are good options to have but they can’t be relied upon. That just leaves us with Gallagher and Hedges which isn’t enough firepower to challenge in this league. 3. Cover for Brittain at RB. JRC isn’t good enough and we’ve had to resort to playing players out of position all season whenever Brittain is out. I’m not super concerned about the LB position. I think we need to stick it out with Pickering and Edun until January. Look for a replacement if that is seen to be a problem area. Don’t think we need any more CBs either. Carter and Phillips deserve a chance and we have our first choice 3 in Hyam, Ayala and Wharton already.

Completely agree. We only need 1 of either Van Hecke or Hyam. Hope the other 2 players brought in are in midfield and attack.

This is a tough one to take. We played so well second half but couldn't break through.

Paul Ince's Reading top of the division right now...

Wave after wave of attacks but can't score.

Much better so far in the second half. We're a completely different team with Hedges in the side.

Buckley has to be hauled off at half time... his passing has been dreadful.

Can't misplace 10+ passes like that and expect not to concede eventually. Absolutely awful from JRC and Kaminski should be doing better there.

Unstoppable! Even with a makeshift defence. Magnificent team performance, everyone gave everything they had into that!

Mine too. Is it finally over?

11 mins extra time wtf.

WTF Dolan... I nearly flipped a table at that.

Well done Kaminski!!

Massive result if we come away with 3 points today after the 2 injuries. Need Dacky to score to seal it!

Don't forget Pickering at CB.

Feels like we can never enjoy our good fortunes for too long without half the team picking up injuries.

Would love for BBD to stay after such a start to the season. Give him an offer he can't refuse.

Go for the 2nd goal now... West Brom look in disarray, game plan's gone out the window.

That's outrageous.

Brittain and Hedges have been brilliant this game so far. Gallagher and Brereton need to get more involved for something to happen though you feel. Buckley has been relatively quiet as well.

This feels like a tight contest between 2 teams that are promotion contenders. Not convinced by Pickering on the left, would be more comfortable with Edun there. Need someone with more pace there.
