I thought we played very well until we scored. Then for some reason, couldn't decide what we wanted to do thereafter. Score a 2nd or defend a lead. Instead it was neither here nor there and WBA pounced and could have nearly won it.
Still a good result nonetheless. More cutting edge needed up front, need to take chances when it presents itself and also a need to make a better finish, Lolley and Grabban had balls where they had time and space to take a 2nd touch in order to position themselves for a better shot rather than hit 1st time.
And of course a need to calm down and manage a lead. But WBA are a good side at this level. Our passing was pleasant but unless you make it count with shots on target and goals, it's a wasted effort. Hope they make it count on Saturday. Played 2 difficult teams without losing, it's a must to put Reading away. They'll definitely take a leaf from WBA's book and hope to stifle by packing the defense.
