Fans now crave perfection

IT was interesting to hear all the accolades from the media after Sunday’s romp at Reading. To be honest, it was an average sort of performance.

Average that is, when you consider that we’ve been producing that same sort of quality football for most of the season. To my mind the major difference on Sunday was that we managed to find the back of the net so early in both halves.

With the Royals squad containing a number of youngsters who were deemed surplus to requirements at the Arsenal, I imagined that, with the likes of Steve Sidwell and James Harper having such a point to prove, we could expect a similarly robust encounter as was witnessed at the Madejski last weekend.
