Nothing To See Here.........Stoke City 0 Reading 0

Cold and getting colder as the two teams played out an uninspiring goalless draw.Neither keeper had a meaningful save to make,What shots there were were well off target.My feeling was that Ince had a good few of our efforts,but threatening he was not.

We pressed the visitors, but did not win as much clean ball as against Luton.Allen got about the pitch but could not lift his teammates.Star attraction was again Cousins,who had a solid game,which earned him Man of the Match.

Lindsay and Batth were sound at the heart of the defence,well supported by Ward on the left.An off colour Edwards was replaced by Smith at halftime.

It is clear again that we lack a frontman who can focus our attacking efforts. Sadly Vokes is not the man for the job, making,as he did, little impression on Reading yesterday.

Still a point is a point,and for us consecutive clean sheets are not to be sniffed at.

PS Charlie Adam has not shed any weight since he left us, but he still picks and plays a very good pass.
