He just got an assist to put Reading 1-0 up consolidating their play off hopes.
Well be their 5th straight win if they win this one v Preston who incidentally
are relegation fodder (Treacy plays for Preston).
Will we see Long get a goal too? Can't find a web stream.

Readings, erm, English U21 goalie just scored an og - useless! who'd want him to declare!

(sounds like it came off the post, hit McCarthy and back in to the net.

Another win for Reading. A point off Leeds just above them, three above Forest who are in seventh and seven off Norwich in second. Automatic promotion might be a step too far but would be in with a chance in the playoffs.

Is there a young player of the year for the championship or even player of the year? Shane Long will surely be strong in the running.

**paul_oshea** · 05/04/2011, 10:14 PM

is 24 still officially young?

**Charlie Darwin** · 05/04/2011, 10:16 PM

I think it's the cut-off point they use for these awards.

**gastric** · 05/04/2011, 11:47 PM

Shocking game for Long - he didn't score. Beginning to think he is a crap player and should be dropped from all upcoming Irish squads!

Note to users: Where is dave kitson now...?!

**Charlie Darwin** · 06/04/2011, 5:08 PM

He's at Portsmouth now. On loan, I think.

When you consider before this season he was played on the wing a lot that's good going.

Rumours in today's Daily Mirror that Mick McCarthy wants to reunite Long with Doyle. Would be a good move for Long if Wolves avoid relegation.

Maybe Mick wants to sell Doyle to Reading?

Stutts I keep forgetting you have a sense of humour.

**TrapAPony** · 08/04/2011, 3:47 PM

Shane is doing a bit of scouting work for Trapattoni and Ireland.

thats 2 games without scoring. Today was quite a high scoring game. One save from camp at the end denied shane one.

**tricky_colour** · 09/04/2011, 7:46 PM

Norwich dropped 3 point today, meaning Reading are only 4 points behind them for an automatic
promotion spot, when the gap was 7 points it looked to big to close, I think they might have a chance now.
They also have the best goal difference.
