Reading Roars!

Another defeat against another (I would argue) inferior side, on this occasion at home to Blackburn Rovers.

Reading’s Harper put the home side ahead four minutes before half time, and Doyle could have doubled the score just before the interval.

Blackburn’s former Champions League winner (not with Blackburn, of course, but with the 2004 Porto side managed by you-know-who) Benni McCarthy scored from a header in the 65th minute and David Bentley blasted a second in the 83rd minute, exploiting a zombified Reading defence.

I almost choked on my Caipirinha when I saw Bentley’s winner during the television highlights. Blackburn seemed to have too much freedom.
