Shrewsbury Town 1-3 Reading: The Taming Of The Shrew

The Royals see off a stubborn Salop to make it two wins from two in Shropshire.

I just about made kick-off for this game, having been at Prospect Park watching my son train for about three hours in surprisingly Baltic conditions. Instantly, I knew the guy on comms would be an irritant, purely by the way he pronounced “Mbengway”.

Reading (4-3-3): Pereira; Yiadom, Mbengue, Bindon, Garcia; Knibbs, Wing, Savage; Camara, Ehibhatiomhan, Campbell

Subs: Button, Abrefa, Stickland...
