All square at half time. We haven’t been at our best. It we’ve had the better chances. Should’ve taken at least one of those chances. Defensively sound. Mannion hasn’t had a shot of note to save. All to play for … COYA
Happy for it to be 0-0 in that half... Reading haven't really threatened Mannion though - We've looked better since the terrible Mannion injury, credit to him to be able to keep going after that lengthy treatment
Not a great half tbh, defence solid again though and Mannion hasn't had to make a save of note. Docherty done brilliant for that chance at the end of the half. Might need to tweek a few things second half.
Feels like changes needed but not sure who. Midfield growing into the game and TC being a nuisance. Ahadme the obvious option but we need the physical presence and it’s too early for Aneke
Substitutes will be key again today, with both teams using a lot of energy pressing.
We've got the likes of Anderson - A.Campbell - Aneke - Godden - Kanu who we can bring on to really push Reading that little bit more with fresh legs... Who do they have?
Defended well, but some of our passing has been awful and I don't feel we've pressed so well as recently. Gillesphey has been the stand out player for me so far.
Think Brownie might have a point - Reading are a young side. Will they crumble under adversity like Charlton of old?
Reading fan on Charlton Live said their team tends to fade from 75 mins onwards… would imagine it’s a mix of their team being young and keen to get amongst it, without a bench full of players they can call on to back it up afterwards
Not over yet but just as many have predicted, goals are going to be hard to come by. I’m not sure that being difficult to beat is going to be enough over the course of the season. We’ll need to find some goals from somewhere. I fear for us when we go a goal down.

Plenty of time over the course of the season to work on how to attack... Am confident based on how difficult we are to deal with defensively - Either way there is going to come a point where we'll draw / lose this season, just need to hope its never a regular thing.

I know its hard but we have to trust the process. Especially away from home, we are following a very clear and consistent game plan and it is yielding results - things have followed the game plan today and whether we like it or not I don't see that changing whilst it is being effective.

But Reading will be massively frustrated that for all their possession, it’s us that have had the best chances.
Defensively excellent again. Just don't give them an inch.
Might need to tweek a few things second half.
We didnot concede a genuine chance and had the 2 best chances.
Berry could easily have scored there.
