Speaking to sportingpost.com, the Reading manager had this to say about the 1-1 draw at Ashton Gate.

I think it was important to do something on the road because our away form has not been very good. It’s not that we don’t try, it’s that we’ve made mistakes that we’ve lost by the odd goal. We lost to Cardiff and Sunderland in the last minute, just by making individual mistakes that cost the team.

Getting something on the weekend was important. We have eight first-team players out, and those are players who would start for us. We had to fill the bench with kids, so to go to Bristol City and get a point was good.

We basically played with half a team and managed to get to 46 points, which is a miracle in itself. So knowing they’re missing out on six points when they should be comfortable with staying in the league and building for next year is tough. We will now have to wait until the next seven games.

So the six point deduction relates to Reading’s 2021 penalty in which they agreed to a budget and business plan that they have since been unable to deliver.

It looks set to arrive this week, leaving them right in the middle of a relegation fight.

Reading currently sit 18th on 46 points, but the expected deduction of six points will leave them 20th.

This is just a crazy, unsustainable figure that is sure to put Bournemouth and Forest in big trouble if they go down.

City favorite Frankie Fielding celebrates his 35th birthday today – he is currently with Stoke City and will be benched on Friday.

Just having a scan of the latest odds for Leicester’s next manager;

Nigel Pearson remains at 12/1 alongside Jon Dahl Tomasson and Steven Gerrard.

Potter remains favorite at 11/4 (although he was level yesterday), with Rafa Benítez at 7/2. Ange Postecoglou and Ralph Hassenhutl are also 9/1.

Unless there’s a big U-turn in Han-Noah Massengo’s career, he almost certainly played his last game for Bristol City.

However, his popularity on BS3, combined with his potential, makes for intrigue when it comes to where his career will take him, both in the short and long term. Massengo’s contract expires at the end of June while he fulfills the remainder of his contract with Ligue 1 side Auxerre.

We spoke to Auxerre journalist Nicolas Fillon who provided insight into Massengo’s performance in France and his thoughts on the player’s future beyond the campaign.
