Great comeback, well done the lads. A couple of things - still can't fathom some of Martin's substitutions and have to say what a sodding awful team Reading are. Oh, and we won despite the best (worst) efforts of the referee.

Some stats from a satisfying game in terms of the fightback and result. Think we still need a lot more work though.

POSSESSION: 74-26 SHOTS: 13-7 OT: 5-4 CORNERS: 8-0 FOULS: 2-7 GOALS: 3-2

We had that much of the ball we only committed 2 fouls! Is that some sort of a record?

Martin's team selection and substitutions are still a mystery to me but @CroJack 's form table shows something is working. I continue to believe that we play at a snail's pace and, if we could up our passing and movement tempo to something approaching that of Burnely, we could be in business at the end of the season. Individual speedsters we don't have but the team as a whole could play with more pace.
