Reading vs Boro verdict in The Observer

My take on yesterday's 3-2 loss at Reading is in today's Observer. Unfortunately the Observer bods don't put these pieces online. If you don't want to buy a paper, here's my take on the game....

"I didn't expect us to win today as when you face teams that have just been promoted at home they usually play above their station. But at 2-0 up we thought we could go on and claim 3 points. Still, Paranaby and Arca didn't look as confident on the flanks as Reading's wingers, Seol and Convey, did: they caused us problems. Our strike force isn't an issue as Aiyegbeni and Viduka will get us goals, but we desperately needed Southgate in defence. We need to bring in a defender because we really missed the manager's presence as a player. We weren't as good after the break but it was pretty even and we were robbed of an equaliser when Viduka had a goal ruled out that should have stood."
