"It's a weird one to assess." @mrblthomas is happy with #ReadingFC's solidity to get the draw at Home Park today, but saw room for improvement going forwards.

RATINGS: A better day for the defence than the attack in this afternoon's 0-0 at Plymouth. Paudie O'Connor, Jeriel Dorsett and Lewis Wing had good games, although it was an off day for Kyreece Lisbie and others. #ReadingFC thetilehurstend.sbnation.com…

READ: How the fans reacted to a classic game of two halves at the SCL on Saturday. There was plenty of praise for match-winner Kyreece Lisbie and #ReadingFC's comeback, but criticism for other aspects of the performance. ✍️ @harry_chafer thetilehurstend.sbnation.com…

You'll never please everyone but for AFC Rushden & Diamonds the £50,000 TV money was everything. To get this far in the FA Cup, draw a League One side away from and miss out on live TV coverage for the pull of Robbie Savage vs Charlie Savage is a bit shit.
