Luton 3 - Reading 2

Friday, 17 February 2006
The Coca-Cola Football League Championship

Another Friday night game, another on Sky Sports 1.

You can tell the Producer at Sky is just desparate for Reading's unbeaten run to come to an end live on Sky (not paranoid am i?) and tonight he finally got lucky!

Kevin Doyle (again) put Reading ahead after 20 seconds and I missed it as I hadn't got to the pub by then. Here we go ....

But no ... Luton looked a lot brighter and sharper and went 2-1 up with well worked goals and then went 3-1 up with a Dean Morgan goal (ex-Reading!) in the second half. Doyle got a second in the 90th minute but overall Luton were better and Reading just looked tired. No Little or Sidwell tonight either.

And so the team at Sky spent all the time after the game interviewing Luton players and officials and went on and on about Luton. Nothing about the 30-odd game unbeaten run.

Lets hope we get back to winning ways at home to Preston next week.

Focus on the positives -

• 83 points
• Goal Difference of 52 - despite letting in 7 goals in the last 3 games
• 9 points clear of 2nd place (Sheffield United)
• 19 points clear of 3rd place (Watford)
