    Decent stop from Isted. He was unable to catch the first corner under pressure, it went back out to Lewis Wing who curls towards the near top-corner, tipped over

    Referee gives Charlton a free-kick as the third corner comes in

    Gillesphey and Jones have both now let it bounce dangerously

    Look up for it but a complete lack of quality so far.
  • ross1ross1

    Terell Thomas is sitting on the right of the back-three and has a bit of license to get up the pitch. Has just floated a cross over the bar from a decent position.

    Promotion level performance in the middle third of the pitch. Just the other two thirds that are the issue.

    Good block from Jones to stop a Sam Smith cross, after Gillesphey dived into a challenge, and sold himself

    Which given the midfield was our problem area for much of the season is a good result.

    We still have some defensive frailties that I'm confident will improve with time under Jones, some shape and system work will solve these.

    Watson looks soo much better in a free role. Mappleton trying to play him as a double pivot and blaming him when it doesn't work shows exactly what he was. 

    We are getting forward in numbers much better. 
    Anyone could see that though. Appleton just didn’t like him for whatever reason.

    Think Reading have sussed our left-side is very weak defensively.

    Azeez has got Edun for breakfast.

    Edun looks so slow when defending.

    We seem to have started to show our defensive mistakes after a good opening first 15, Reading getting more into it, smarten up lads

    Can we keep this up!
    Does not look like it.

    Coventry lucky to get away without a booking for that late foul on the Reading man

    I thought my seat became uncomfortable, then realised it is because the bottom four are nudging upto us

    Very encouraging opening 10 minutes closing down fast and winning 50:50s but it’s already swung around and we’re starting to look second best again.

    As usual, the opposition look much more likely to create openings. Our final ball is never good enough.

    Charlton corner
  • ross1ross1

    Corner is headed back across by Jones, cleared as far as L. Watson who hits a tasty volley but a Reading head gets in the way.

    Pretty good summing up.

    Neat effort from Louie, shame it got a deflection on the way through to the Goalkeeper
