Pards unhappy with first half performance

Alan Pardew was less then impressed with Reading's first half performance at Bournemouth. Dont worry to much Pards, just look at Wolves results during pre-season and that should give you a smile. Did it finish 6:0 Morecombe?!!!!!!!

Reading were held to a draw at AFC Bournemouth's Fitness First Stadium infront of about 1,500 fans on a wet night. Reading were very poor in the first half with Pardew making a sub with just under half an hour of the match gone. It seemed to work but Reading could still not stick it in the net. Reading's best chance of the game fell to Kevin Watson who scuffed his shot. Late substitions brought saves from Neill Moss with Martin Butler unlucky with a very late effort.
