We eventually lost 3-0.

Reading lost the final to Swansea 4-2
at our best that season was the best football we have played.

neck and neck with warnocks QPR all season, who had an absolutely inspired Adel taarabt.

but of an injury crisis at the end of the season and we didn't make it.
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?
