I honestly think if we had gone up then we would have done well in the premier League.
we were a much better side than Reading, who were a good counterattacking side, but we gifted them the first two goals, the first I think was a howler by Stephen Bywater, who was only playing because Marshall AND Heaton were injured, and then the second was as you described a needless penalty conceded by Dekel Kenan (who wasn't first choice either)
our back 5 that day were Bywater, Kenan and McNaughton as centre backs and I think Darcy Blake and Jay Lloyd Samuel as fullbacks. that was a hell of an injury crisis.
oh what could have been eh?
