KARL HEIN 8: Made some excellent saves including one from Hernandez and another from Lyle Taylor. Would have had a clean sheet had it not been for a freak goal.
ANDY YIADOM 8: Solid defensively with a vital clearance towards the end and make a brilliant driving run into the box to win a penalty.
MICHAEL MORRISON 7: Lead from the back by keeping his fellow defenders in check. Showed his vast experience throughout.
TOM MCINTYRE 7: A confident display in his first start since returning from injury. Really unfortunate to have scored an own goal when the ball bounced off him and went in.
TOM HOLMES 7: A few shaky moments in the first-half that allowed Lyle Taylor a few chances but thankfully he didn’t punish Reading. Much better in the second-half.
ANDY RINOMHOTA 8: He’s made a big impact since coming back into the side. Energy and control in the middle of the park.
DANNY DRINKWATER 7: Much improved performances in the last two matches after a long poor spell of form. Assured display alongside Rinomhota in the centre.
JOHN SWIFT 7: A really confident penalty that he dispatched perfectly into the side netting of the right corner. Etheridge wouldn’t have reached it even if he had dived the right way.
TOM INCE 7: Worked exceptionally hard and made an important interception in his own box in the second-half. Missed a big chance just before the break.
JUNIOR HOILETT 7: Had some very bright moments in the first-half including a 40-yard run that drew a free-kick just outside the box.
LUCAS JOAO 7: Notched his fifth Championship goal of the season after scoring twice at the weekend. Took his goal brilliantly with excellent footwork and a tidy finish from outside the box.
