I like to keep an open mind rather than jump to a reaction - but can anyone explain to me why Joe Lewis is worthy of a pardon. He pleaded guilty to insider trading! Genuine question #joelewis

Really enjoyed tonight - I liked the way we played - they mixed it up from being very direct and building from the back and you could see we had a plan. Players worked harder and spirits seemed up. High score to all players - everyone did well…… thoroughly enjoyable night! #readingfc

The similar late capitulation to Shrewsbury in 2023 was a turning point in the season. Let’s hope this one is too…. #readingfc

What can you say about Ehibhatiomhan?? Nothing from him last night and not looking like it either and then a great goal. Him all over. Feel for Hunt trying to work him out!

Mixed day at Adams Park for #readingfc. So much better than Wednesday and special mention to Ahmed for excellent game and Jacob for two match saving tackles. Worry about O‘Mahony still offering very little and the two wingers despite Camara’s excellent header. Shame they sat back in 2nd half!!

I’ll take the point - but we were awful and the big question is how did Bolton lose? V. Lucky #readingfc

Scarily poor first half. Seem to have learnt nothing from Saturday in fact it is worse. Amazing we are not behind. #readingfc

Nervous about #readingfc tonight. I know it is early days but I was angry about the lack of tactics and strategy on Saturday. Needs to be so much better. Would like to see Elliott on the pitch.

Feel very relieved to get the first win. Not quite sure why I was so worried. Maybe this year we’ll be great on the road!?!! Season can get going now #readingfc

Good day out at Reading V Spurs - not sure we learnt much except we have some great kids coming through. Garcia and Eliot looked exciting - they were making things happen. Roll on the season!! #readingfc

It’s a beautiful day and so naturally Great Western Railway have switched the air con off and journey times have doubled…. You cannot but admire their consistency in making your day worse. #GWR

Have to ignore today as have loved this #readingfc team. Their grit and determination, never give up attitude and flair. They obviously lobed playing for Reading too. With the size of squad and what they have been through, 7th place is amazing!!!! I will remember this season very fondly.

Great player, but Wing is playing too deep. With the ball #readingfc have 5 at the back so options forward are limited - meaning long passes to our wings - which are not our strength and it is taking Knibbs and Savange out the game. Need the great thro balls into the box from further up the field.

Great game today and Peterborough were not bad and played some good football. So great win especially without Bindon and Mbengue. Lovely goal from Savage who is so stylish with the ball. Up to 6th which I never saw coming - Exciting #readingfc

I have seen some terrible ref decisions in my time - but tonight was the very worst. Unless he gives a red card every single match he has treated us differently. Terrible terrible referee!!! #readingfc

Weird game last night. #Readingfc def not on it and lucky. Once again they dug in and fought to get the draw helped by possibly the worst “finishing” by Exeter that I have ever seen!!!

True grit and determination from Reading yesterday - typical of why we like this team so much. Not sure Ehibhatiomhan worked up front and Wareham was good when he came on. Anyway for a 0-0 it was a cracking game. #readingfc

I know it’s stupid but making the ref go across to the corner to check the ball did make me laugh!! Especially with the Rotherham players reaction! #readingfc

Strange game today but we deserve a few decisions our way. Great team spirit again and important to have Mbengue back. Another late winner! Love this team!! #readingfc

A game with little quality - but who cares. A good point away against a top 6 team. #readingfc
