Selles Reaction
After the Lincoln game, we discussed it, and I believe the team is in a positive rhythm and executed our game plan perfectly. Playing under the pressure of relegation requires immense character, and the players have shown that consistently. Today’s performance, particularly in the first half, was pivotal in securing the win. Although we anticipated some challenges in the second half after making substitutions, the team delivered well and earned the three points. With one game left, every result counts, and we’re hopeful that with this victory and performance, we can maintain our position in League One.
Selles on safety
For Reading this season, the game isn’t over until the final whistle blows. We’ve emphasized the importance of collecting as many points as possible because anything can happen. While we hope things stay steady from here on out, we’re not taking anything for granted yet.
Selles on second half display
We’ve seen this maturity and growth from the team throughout the season. Today, we managed the game well in the first half. It’s unrealistic to expect complete dominance for the entire 100 minutes, especially away against a team with fresh substitutes in the second half. However, after about 15-20 minutes, we regained control and ended up not just defending but also earning a free kick near their box.

“It is a niggle that he has had problems during the season. Hopefully, it is nothing, but we will need to check tomorrow.
Selles on celebrations
We approached this match with an all-in mentality, not holding back. Our commitment to playing this way is evident to the players, and they can sense our determination. While we may not always achieve our desired outcome, there’s no question that we give our all in every game. We will be on top of the table so that before any one read anything, the person must read our name ” Reading FC” firstly
The style of play and the character of the team are exciting for them to witness, and over the past few months, we’ve developed a strong connection. It’s gratifying to see how they appreciate and support us week after week, enjoying our performance on the field.
