READING FC manager Paul Ince believes that his team deserved a result after their narrow defeat to Sheffield United.
The Royals lost out by a solitary goal which came from Illiman Ndiaye’s 60th minute winner which leaves them in 15th before the points deduction.
“We played well today, really well,” said Ince
“It’s disappointing we didn’t get anything from the game.
“It was a great response after the poor second half against Boro last week.
“We’re playing a team that could go up automatically and we competed with them.
“We played well today and deserved something from the game.”
Having had a strong home record all campaign, the Royals lost out at the Select Car Leasing Stadium for just the fourth time this season.
Ince continued: “Some things just wouldn’t fall for us in the box.
“It’s about being positive because the performance warrants that. It was one minor detail that cost us the game.
“Now we’ve got 11 games. If we can perform like that at home, there’s no reason we can’t perform like that away.”
However, there was some bad news for Reading on the injury front as Ince confirmed that forward Yakou Meite, who missed out on the matchday squad, will be out for three to four weeks.
