I mean we all knew we'd have to score at least 2 to win. And again we've had plenty of chances.

Don't think Bindon really knew anything about that handball.

Ox losing 2-0 at Peterborough

Reading have had 2 shots on target against 1 on target from Barnsley

So many dangerous crosses and pull backs and through balls, but it's all just a bit overcomplicated and pinball, no one ever quite in the right place to finish.

Can definitely say I've seen some good patterns of play in that half, just the lack of ruthlessness or just not being in the right positions with the end product, those fine margins again.

Whilst Craig's tackle wasn't clever, he also seems like quite an intelligent footballer. Positions himself well and tends to hold the line in front of the back 4 well, definitely seems to be that him, Wing and Knibbs just in front is by far our best midfield.

That's another one. Smith forced just a bit too wide to shoot, excellent pull back, but Knibbs is far post and no one is edge of 6 yard box near post to be on the end and bury.

Smith to blame. Everyone knows not to have your hand in that position these days, even if it wasn't intentional.

Looked like Smith headed onto Bindon's arm to me.

Azeez meg and pullback, Yiadom step over. Shot and dribbles wide behind Smith's run.

Azeez has been great today in general. Got their full back on toast. Just need to bury one of these chances.
