After nearly eleven months of trying, Reading finally got a victory at the Madejski Stadium. Like a man crawling through a desert, an oasis finally displayed itself and it did not turn out to be a mirage. Blackpool lost 2-1 thanks to goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Grzegorz Raisak. The result was greeted with the kind of jubilation normally reserved for Cup Final winning celebrations and Championship victories. After the drought suffered by Reading’s fans, they can’t be blamed for drinking in such a significant result with such gusto.
Reading’s horrible run without a home victory will now go into November as Reading lost 1-0 at home to Leicester City. Reading played well during the first half, however the killer blow was struck in the final moments of the first period when Martyn Waghorn grabbed the only goal of the game. Reading’s defeat leaves the Royals third from bottom of the Championship table and without a home win in 16 games in a sequence stretching back to late January.
