what was glaringly obvious in last night's game, apart from the empty seats, was the lack of a striker in either side. The only way these sides were going to score was from pens, 2-1 and all scored from the spot. In the dying minutes with the score 1-1, Reading had to re-take a corner after the ref stopped play for shirt pulling. The thick Ipswich defence continued with the tugging but this time the ref awarded a pen. If I was an Ipswich fan I'd be livid with McCarthy and his tactics. No wonder an increasing number of people are giving the game a miss
