Watched the second half, really dour 0-0, they looked very solid at the back but didn't venture forward much, in fact, not sure they had a decent chance at goal, that said, they weren't playing against us obviously!

Stats say Rotherham got 50% of their 2 shots on target over the course of the 90 minutes. Luton weren’t exactly a great deal better, although managing 12 shots only 25% of those were on target. Rather suggests Reading will get opportunities so will need to make sure the players are ready to capitalise on any rebounds from Wing or Savage who should really be looking to strike when they can get a clear view of goal.

Ended 3-0.

Can't think of a league this open at this stage of the season. A lot will change in the table over the next few months.

Peterborough's mini-revival stalled yesterday as they lost at home to top-of-the-table Stevenage

They would have drawn level on points with us if they had won

It really sums up this league this season when Stevenage are top at the end of November.

Does it?

They started last season well too, were top 6 at one point weren’t they?

14th to 1st less than halfway through a season isn’t that surprising.

Take a look at the Championship below Coventry, Div.2 and the Premier League below Arsenal.
All leagues at this earlyish stage of the season are quite competitive.

Sheffield United make up for trying to ruin Tyler Bindon's career by beating Portsmouth 3-0, therefore dropping Oxford into the relegation zone.

Agreed, to an extent. For me, they looked very ordinary when we played them a couple of weeks ago. Just goes to show how open the league is, which is great from a competitive standpoint.

Speaking of rivals in the relegation zone, Aldershot are 2nd bottom and 6pts off safety, just need Swindon to drop away from the top 7 and we'll at least get to laugh at our rivals this season.

Iirc last season they were the epitome of a big strong organised but ordinary team used to winning.
