READING FC manager Paul Ince believes that his team were denied a blatant penalty in their draw with Queens Park Rangers.

With Reading 2-0 up after a Jeff Hendrick brace they had a penalty appeal on Shane Long turned down at the start of the second-half.

“It’s a blatant penalty to make it 3-0 and the games finished,” said Ince.

“Another poor decision again, we had it at Burnley.

“Referees have tough jobs, but Shane (Long) has run across him, he’s knocked him over and that would be game over.”

Despite the penalty shout being turned down, Ince was disappointed in the manner Reading surrendered a two goal lead.

He continued: “We were passive. I wasn’t really pleased with the first-half to be fair even though we were 2-0 up. We didn’t keep the ball how I wanted.

“We made some silly mistakes but created enough chances to put the game to bed.

“We have a tendency to drop deep and defend it and defend it. We’re inviting pressure and you can’t keep getting away with it.

“We’re inviting pressure and you can’t keep getting away with it.

“Defensively we were very poor in the second-half. There was a lack of communication, positioning and people not putting themselves in the right spots and winning headers.

“We’ve got enough experience at the back. I get it in the last five minutes to sit deep but not when you’re 2-0 up at the start of the second-half. You’ve got to try and put the game to bed.

“It’s where you need leaders and voices.

“There was no pushing our midfield up to get to theirs.

“We take the point because it could have gone either way. We had a greater chance with Lucas (Joao) but it’s another point closer to where we want to get to.

“You have to be brave. You can’t allow teams to keep attacking you for 45 minutes.”
