Here's how Pool's players rated:
1. Mark Howard - 5/10
Might have done better with both of Readings goals, especially the second. Looks a little rusty since his return.
2. Ollie Turton - 6/10
Solid and reliable as ever. Kept things tight enough at the back but a little reserved going the other way.
3. Ben Heneghan - 6/10
Had his hands full with the dangerous Sam Baldock, who got ahead of him for Readings first equaliser.
4. MAN OF THE MATCH: Curtis Tilt - 8/10
In inspired form, almost as if he had a point to prove. Won every loose ball and imperiously strong.
5. Calum Macdonald - 6/10
Did little wrong but pushed off the ball a little too easily on a few occasions. Wing-back seems to suit him more.
6. Jay Spearing - 7/10
Continued his recent fine form with another strong display in the middle. But should he be on penalties?
