Watford 1-2 Reading – Welcome to 2012

Reading: Federici, Harte, Gorkks, Pearce, Cummings, Robson-Kanu, Karacan, Tabb, Kebe (Antonio), Church (Le Fondre), Hunt

A big first win of 2012 for the Royals on Saturday in front of the TV cameras. Nick Houlton takes the reigns of the match report today and a reminder that we’re always happy to take your views on the games here, just email thetilehurstend@gmail.com

It didn’t dawn on me until Sunday morning how important that win was. An after game, rash reflection on the victory was that it was another hard-fought three points but in fact it was as vital as it could possibly get. Not only did the win propel us back up to 5th but it gave the club and fans a first big lift in 2012.

We’ll have a few articles on Shane over the coming days, but below the jump Nick Houlton looks at where we go from here in the striking department.
