Assist on the goal came from Noel Hunt
Yeah he did but it actually ended up a 2-2 draw (goals in 92nd and 97th minute). Anyway Noely has his own thread so apologies for taking off track......
Am sure I heard on Sky Sports news last night that Hunt set up the winning goal.

I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

he got the assist alright, but Cardiff went straight down the other end and equalised, finished 2-2:Originally Posted by elroy

Manset then grabbed his first Championship goal when Hunt crossed from the right for a tap in but there was still time for an equaliser.
13th league goal of the season tonight for Shane.
Celtic linked with move for Long in the summer: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...758959,00.html
I really really really he doesnt move to Celtic.
Didn't realise he was out of contract in the summer. Nicely done on his part, He should have his pick of a number of premier league teams come the summer
Just got his 16th of the season, a half volley set up by Noel Hunt who got Reading's first. That's 12 in 15 apparently.
On an incredible run. Out of interest, what was Doylers best tally in the Championship?
EDIT:
Here is Doyles goal to games ratio for Reading
2008–09 42 18 Champ.
2007–08 36 6 PL
2006–07 32 13 PL
2005–06 45 18 Champ
Long on course to beat Doylers best tally for Reading. He has 14 goals from 32 league appearances.

I love Kevin Doyle and I appreciate how much he brings to the table, but the lad only has three goals in the league this season! Step yo game up.
out of how many chances he has got in a poor wolves team? id say his goals to chances ratio is up there with tevez this season
if doyle played for man city do you think he would of scored as many as tevez this season??
dont know but thats not what i was saying. has tevez defended as well as doyle has this season?
If he played for Arsenal I reckon he'd have scored more than Bendtner and Chamakh combined, in my opinion, and would do more for the team.
He's a good player and a very selfless, hard working team player whose contribution amounts to a lot more than just goals. He'd score more at a better club. Maybe not a 20 a year scorer, but 12+ goals in 38 games would be very realistic at a club like, for example, Sunderland.

I'm not sure Doyle's move to Wolves has helped us. His hold up play hand headed knock ons been outstanding. He can take ball into feet or on chest and bring other players into the game and I have only seen one defender all season (Kompany) get the better of Doyle in one on one exchanges. But the positions he has to take up playing for Wolves are not good for someone who wants to score 10 to 15 goals a season. Definetely Wolves best player but I would prefer to him with a club who create more chances. It makes it that little bit harder to score for us as well.
Are there any/many better strikers than Shane in the championship ?
he hasnt had to i suppose, his work rate looks fairly good anytime ive seen him though. doyles workrate and overall contribution are unreal, just don't think he'll ever be a prolific scorer. he's not usually in good goal scoring positions, mostly due to being out doing the donkey work somewhere else, cant be in 2 positions at once. maybe thats down to playing for a bottom of the league team but id say its just how he plays the game.
Long got another one at the weekend, funny to see Paddy McCarthy trying to choke him too after he had 'won' the penalty. Ambrose and Hunt scored in that game also.
It would be great to see Long move up a level, even better if it were to an established Prem side, so it doesnt end up like Doyle to Wolves. Everton need goals and Moyes does go shopping in the Champoinship sometimes, would be nice if we had another guy at a club like that notching regularly this time next year.
Linked with a move to Liverpool:

Probably not that realistic, but good to see him mentioned as a premiership player. Would he make it there, who knows. Has definitely improved this year.
He definitely won't end up at Liverpool, that's for sure! Total nonsense reporting.
