Going to be a long day in work and at the club at the weekend after the result tonight but looking on BBC sport and hearing snippets on BBC Berkshire (hardly biased commentary at all) it seems Reading deserved it anyway. At least we won 5-1 on aggregate

We did deserve to win, and the second half was probably the best we have played all season. Pressed high up, and didn't give Fulham any time on the ball. Did to them what they diid to us at Craven Cottage. Fulham play such a high line that we didn't bother with a striker, just played balls into space for wingers to run on to. Good tactics from Stam, and back to third.

We have had 11 penalties this season and missed 6. Fulham have had 9 and missed 7. Fortunately we practice penalty rebounds, and have scored from 5 follow ups.:whoo:

Seems to score well in that division though. Maybe he just didn't fit at Boro. Wasn't it his deal that made Karanka walk out last season? It can be hard for a player if he knows the manager doesn't rate you.

Not having BT or a dodgy Android box I'm watching the Toon match on sky. Either sky have turned the microphones off or it is like a morgue there tonight. Very little atmosphere.

Bad night for Brighton. Not great for Fulham either as it'll increase the gap to fifth to nine points. Looks like a host of clubs will be targetting that Derby spot in sixth as the only likely one available

I think you need to worry more about when your lot come for a trip to the seaside later this month .
Not worried here, as everyone knows we are in a false position. just ask any fans of teams in the top 10.:whistle: Neither Brighton or Newcastle can afford a bad run with three teams below on such good runs.
