REVIEW OF THE SEASON Reading Review of the Season: February form picks up to offset final points deduction
February proved a hectic month for Reading, with seven fixtures to cram in as the season began to enter its final stages. 1,400 supporters made the short hop to Oxford for the reverse Thames Valley Derby, this one moved forward to a 12.30pm kick-off at the request of Thames Valley Police. Falling behind in the first half to Mark Harris’ strike, many feared the worst. However, the Royals dug in at the Kassam Stadium and were rewarded with an own goal 15 minutes from time to ensure the spoils were shared yet again with the Us.
