REPORT: Despite a late push, #ReadingFC didn't quite have enough yesterday at Bromley and are out of the FA Cup.

@petermatthews25.bsky.social sums up a disappointing afternoon on the road.

Football League World - reading fc: What’s happened to Lucas Joao after Sheffield Wednesday and Reading?

"For 70 minutes I was really pleased. I thought we were the better team and in control. Once we scored, for whatever reason, we seemed to take a little bit of a backwards step and started making different decisions."

#ReadingFC

"We have excellent periods and we have scruffy, lackadaisical tendencies. You need more of the excellence and less of the mental switch-offs if you’re serious about promotion."

Reading | The Guardian: Alexander’s absence weighs heavy as Bradford try to keep promotion push on track

#readingfc

RATINGS: A whole load of 5s and 6s from Alex for a decent #ReadingFC display against Bradford City. No howler performances, no major standouts.

"We looked strong in five- or 10-minute bursts but struggled to really manage the game on a bigger scale than that. And that’s becoming a bit of a recurring theme at the moment."
