Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

LUKE SOUTHWOOD 5: Made two really good stops in the first-half but was arguably at fault for the first two Blackpool goals. Didn’t look comfortable coming to claim the ball from crosses that cost Reading when Madine nodded in from close range

 

ANDY YIADOM 6: Strong in defence and did brilliantly to set up the opening goal when he burst forward on the left and put the ball on a plate for Joao to finish.

 

MICHAEL MORRISON 5: Had a good opportunity to score in the second half with a header. Will be disappointed with the team’s inability to defend from set pieces.

TOM MCINTYRE 5: Struggled at times in a stern test up against the physical Gary Madine. Part of a defensive collapse at the end.

 

ANDY RINOMHOTA 7: Filled in well at right-back but Reading missed his presence in the centre where he’s made a positive difference to the team in recent weeks.

 

DANNY DRINKWATER 4: Sloppy with his passing at times that put his teammates under pressure but did do some good things going forward.

 

TOM DELE-BASHIRU 4: Struggled to keep Reading ticking in central midfield where the Royals looked like they missed Rinomhota in the middle of the park when he had to switch to right-back.

 

JOHN SWIFT 6: A few glimpses of brilliance when he linked with Joao in attack. Came close with a free-kick that was tipped over and squandered a big chance when he was slipped in by Joao.

 

JUNIOR HOILETT 4: A quiet afternoon from Hoilett who didn’t provide much threat down the wing in a lacklustre display.

 

TOM INCE 4: Worked hard to help out Andy Rinomhota on the right-hand side but had a disappointing day in attack where he was unable to make much happen.

 

LUCAS JOAO 7: On the scoresheet once again with his sixth goal in eight matches to continue his superb run in front of goal. Played a nice pass to set up Swift early in the second-half.
