Clement 6 not a midfield combination to try again, please. Crying out for a defensive midfielder from about 10 mins in.
Not as if he has any options to choose from. Without Bacuna there's a big hole. No sign of Evans today either. Sometimes I wonder if Blackett would make a defensive midfielder.
Swift looked as if he's on the way back to match fitness.

ZipJR I absolutely bloody loved that last 10-15 minutes - brilliant entertainment!
Breathless end to end stuff - that’s the most I’ve felt a Reading game in a long time.
Gunter, the legend, put in a wonderful cross on his wrong foot to set up the equaliser.
Barrow, our deserved player of the season, then showed us on numerous occasions why he is frustrated so many previous clubs with his final ball/effort.
In the meantime Sunderland came close on a several occasions to grabbing what could have been a deserved winner.
It was breathless and wonderful to the watch. At the end all 22 players just collapsed not knowing what to do - and I think the fans were a bit confused as well (whether to boo or applause).
Yes, we were pretty rubbish, but I loved it - a well overdue return to enjoying exciting matches at the
Madejski.
We are comfortably safe now - so let’s give Clement time and a pre-season to mould his team. He’s taken on a chronically unfit team lacking in confidence and taken 7 points out of 9 at home.
Well done that man!
How on earth are we comfortably safe?

There is absolutely no chance that Bolton AND Birmingham will both get 4 points from their last 3 games AND Barnsley will get 5 points from their last 4.
The players could go to the beach for the next 3 winnable games and we would be fine.

Joey van den Berg are the words you're looking for.

Birmingham: Wolves (a), Sheff Utd (h), QPR (a), Fulham (h)
Bolton: Wolves (h), Burton (a), Forest (h)
Barnsley: Leeds (a), Forest (a), Brentford (h), Derby (a)
Each of those three could reach those points targets without it being a surprise. All three hitting those targets is less likely, but definitely could happen without it being a major shock.
I'd be surprised if Bolton get fewer than four points, given their final two games. Birmingham certainly could, and that final game v Fulham might be easier if 2nd place is settled by then.
Barnsley have it all to do, but if we lose to Ipswich then we'll be going into the final day hoping for results elsewhere to go our way, as we are very unlikely to get anything a Cardiff.

It’s not likely but it’s still possible.
Whilst it’s possible don’t be dismissive.

We are 40/1 to go down with the bookies - they are not stupid.
If we were talking about one team needing to win 2 out of 3 to catch us then fine to panic mildly - but not 3 teams who have been poor all season.
We’ve got a great run in and while we won’t need it, I fancy a shock victory last day at Cardiff.
