Seems like a very tense game, ref is a bit card happy.

Brighton hit the bar again. Reading cannot keep them out if they keep piling on this pressure all night.

Reading coming back into it a bit more.

Brighton are all over Reading tbf, but they cannot get through. Corner again

No penalty for brighton, and it sounds like it was a penalty.

Corner brighton, they are having their chances f'sure. Gus Poyet, suprise suprise, raging at the refere and the officials.

Ian Harte with the goal

Reading lead

Brighton dominating it so far.

Brighton with the first chance. Reading GK flapping.

Yep, not a bad team really. They've got a nice squad, the additions they made in January are making them look pretty strong now. Brightons team is pretty much full strength too. Intriguing evening coming up.

If Carlsburg did tuesdays...

Reading (4-4-2) Federici; Cummings, Harte, Gorkss, Pearce; McAnuff ©, Mullins, Kebe, Cywka; Hunt, Roberts So they are without their first choice midfield. Harte makes it though

This. But let's not all go off on one if the result doesn't go the way we want. Expect a win and be surprised otherwise is what I say.

Claridge is fair, never had a problem with him. I think he's one of the most balanced and intelligent pundits out there, I always listen to what he has to say as he's quite often bang on the money. He's also admitted that he's watched us most weeks this year! I think he's generally a pretty big fan of south coast football.

Not as nervous, but as quick as it turned back in our favour shows how quickly it can all swing around again. 3 games in the next 8 days involving Reading, us and WHU. We could almost secure it in that time, or we could hand the gauntlet back over to another team. I'm of the belief that if Reading drop any points tonight then we're almost there, if they win then Friday is massive - and a win for them throws it all up in the air again and cuts us 3 pts adrift at the wrong time! It's too early to be celebrating, but like the 2 poor results last week - it was too early then to be giving up all hope. The next 2 games will decide all, after Peterborough we will know.

Legiertwood and Robson-Kanu are also big injury doubts, likely to be out tonight. (that's come from a reading fan) Harte also. They are down to the bare bones.

They need to win tonight, any dropped points for them now and the pressure on them for Friday will be absoloutley huge. Will be interesting to see how it pans out, I can see them getting a draw but that is still a stunning result for us.

Think we can forget about that happening, it would cause a complete headache this late on. The FL wouldn't even try it, they will allow them to carry on until the end some how.

They've got some injury knocks at the wrong time. They're without Karacan for sure, but Leigertwood and Harte are also carrying knocks - doubts for tonight. Also Robson-Kanu pulled a muscle late on in the Leeds game according to one of their fans. That's their central midfield just ripped out pretty much.

Big game tonight then. I guess there will be online commentary of it? Hopefully Millwall pickup a good result too.

I'm sure Norwich and Swansea fans said the same last year! The gap between the prem and the top of the championship is pretty small now, so there's no reason why we cannot make an impact as I'm sure we'll spend sensibly on the right players. QPR have failed because they've gone out and bought player after player after player, Norwich and Swansea have done well because they haven't. They've intelligently added to their squad but have not disrupted it.

Should be, no worries. Struggled to get tickets for this one anywhere but the Chapel.

...''We're coming for youuuu...''
