Hate to say it but Marcus completely to blame for Gillingham's goal - came out of his area to get the ball and completely missed it giving King an open goal to equalise. In balance he made one or two good saves as well, and as we won nobody was too bothered about it. A very scrappy win, but a win all the same. Even the winner looked like a mis-hit shot that didn't look at all like it was going in. Coppell's reign almost got off to the worst posible start as inside 30 seconds Gillingham hit the inside of the post, only for the ball to defy the laws of physics and bounce to safety. Berkshire wig-makers may soon start to curse Steve Coppell if this win is the first in a run which sees an end to Reading fans tearing their hair out in frustration at every match.
Just saw the highlights over here on Sky News, and that was a glaring error my Marcus on the goal from (edit) King (/edit) he allowed. Caught out in no-man's-land, five yards outside the area, got punished easily for his mistake. But according to the report on the Beeb's site, Hahnemann did make some saves that helped Reading go on and win. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_1/3187000.stm
Oh, crap... need to edit more carefully. Fixed MY OWN post now... or will do so. In any event, that was a very, very bad blunder outside the box by Marcus.
