It's the hope that kills you. After being dominated in the first half, Reading fans could feel aggrieved that they could have got something from this game.

Alas, they didn't.

Anyway, on we go.

You wouldn't get that kind of defending on FIFA, nevermind real life. Sort it out, lads.

Yeah. Alright. Okay. Cool. Who needs to mark men out wide anyway?

Dammit.

1:51–2:07

Nooooo, it had to be Liam Moore, didn't it?
