PAUNOVIC FIRES A WARNING SHOT

‘Finishing needs to be better’

- Russell Kempson

MANAGER Veljko Paunovic bemoaned poor finishing after play-off chasing Reading’s disappointing draw with Queens Park Rangers.

Mid-table QPR went in front on the stroke of half-time when Lyndon Dykes slotted home his sixth goal of the campaign from close range.

Sixth-placed Reading secured a point, and their first home league draw of the season, thanks to Yakou Meite’s scuffed effort early in the second half.

“We created a lot of good moments in the game, a lot of good chances,” Paunovic said.

“But I feel as if I am having to repeat myself. We create so many opportunities and we don’t execute properly.

“We can’t afford this, whether in the Championship or in the Premier League, or even in the Champions League or the World Cup. To miss so many big chances, when it is not easy to create them – we have to be better at this.
