Review:
We scored a goal today. Well at least for 10 minutes, until Glenn Murray's opener was decided to be a Thomas Hulmes own goal. Sammy Ameobi had a great game as usual on the wing and put a ball into Murray's feet for him to tap in, but the Reading defender was adjudged to have had the last touch. We had already had some bad news when Joe Lolley limped off on the half hour with a hamstring injury, and then with ten mintes to go Reading equalised after a very nice through ball put Meite in the frame. So, no goals for any Forest players today. Again.
