Fair play to Lincoln but we are terrible. Another goal conceded in the 90+6 min. Today is just evidence this squad isn’t anywhere near good enough to go up #readingfc

We don’t deserve to get play offs with that 2nd half display. Just a complete nothing performance that #readingfc

Sam Smith running the Chelsea defence ragged! Took his goal so well too. Glad he is taking his chance tonight #FACup #WrexhamAFC #ChelseaFC #readingfc

Fair play to Kelvin, I didn’t think he had that in him. Can he be consistent and billd on this? If so, he could really be a top player at this level! Let’s hope this gives him some confidence to kick on #readingfc

He’s been unreal for a yr and a half but Pereira’s having a tough time. He is barely catching anything since dropping the ball at Wimbledon. I’m sure it’s just affected his confidence and he’ll come good again but it is a slight worry #readingfc

Marriott is actually a cheat code in league 1. Best striker in the league #readingfc

The negativity on here after a win is actually crazy. Yes the style isn’t perfect but we are scoring goals and winning games away from home. We have to remember we are in League 1 ffs. How many teams actually play good football in this league? #readingfc

Today is further proof why we don’t drop Wing. What a player! #readingfc

Kelvin is such a frustrating footballer. Has all the attributes to be a class but is terrible most weeks. Doesn’t do the basics and is just flashes of quality. If he doesn’t show more consistency we should cut our losses in the summer and sell him. #readingfc

Keep seeing people say we should drop Wing. Yes he played poor (by his standards) but he’s still producing. Take him out the team and we will be far far worse. Just need someone next to him to do the defensive work and we’ll see an even better player! #readingfc

So refreshing to see 2 quality full backs in the side today! #readingfc

@CFCJnR I have a sneaky feeling he will be a generational manager. He comes across so well and is showing all the right initial qualities of a top manager

Liam Rosenior hugging and connecting with every Chelsea player after the game. You can see they're starting to warm to him, and it's only been just three days here.

The best compliment you can pay Fin Burns is that we haven’t missed Derrick Williams. Stepped up in the last three games and today, in particular, was absolutely immense. #readingfc

Massive win that! Stockport are a top side. More evidence today why we need to play Fraser. He came on and Wing immediately is more involved in attack and gets the goal. Savage brilliant in both roles too! #readingfc

@Andy_G_Collie 100%, he really suits the way we want to play

@Mattpainter21 Agree, his presence, and the way he shows for the ball gives us more options playing out from the back

I love Liam Fraser. Keeps it simple and protects the back 4 so well, allowing Wing more freedom. This can be a partnership that flourishes with a run of games together #readingfc

Joe Jacobson on @talkSPORT2 tonight #readingfc

@ReadingFC How have we pulled this off then. Unbelievable signing for League 1

Andy is BACK 👀

@ReadingFC Thank you Noel, you stepped up when no one else would. Everyone wanted it to work but this decision was a needed step in the club progression.

Reading Football Club has today parted company with First Team Manager Noel Hunt. Read the full statement from Chairman Rob Couhig 👇

@bentp97 @TomMaroney As I said we’ve already played most of the stronger sides (away from home too). We lost the first 3 as we weren’t prepared for the season but since we’ve lost once in the league (away at Barnsley). If we are still where we are in 6-7 games time then it’s time to call Hunt out.

@Mattpainter21 @TomMaroney Our XG is on the floor every single week. We get a couple of chances a game, we don’t create enough because of this stupid setup and lump ball. We will be found out as the season goes on when we play bigger teams. Please watch the games pal, not just the scores

1 defeat in 6 now with a favourable run coming up. People need to calm down and judge Hunt after the next 6. Back him and the team and we will be okay! #readingfc
