The Clarets lined up with a fairly defensive 4-5-1 formation as follows: Michopoulos, West, Cox, McGregor, Briscoe, Little, Grant, Cook, Johnrose, A. Moore, Taylor. Subs: Weller, Branch, Payton, I. Moore, Blake.
Although Reading had the majority of the play and the chances in the first half the 0-0 scoreline at the break offered at least some hope of getting at a point on the board.
Unfortunately a Jamie Cureton goal after 55 minutes left the Clarets chasing the game and unable to create a real chance of note.
In the end 2 late goals from Martin Butler after 87 minutes and Jamie Cureton in injury time gave the scoreline a rather flattering look for Reading but the details are really rather meaningless when you are still desperate for your first point.
