Reading progressed into round two of the FA Cup with a 3-2 win over MK Dons.
Take a look at the immediate reaction from manager Ruben Selles.
Selles on late penalty appeals
I don’t like to speak about referees, but they could also speak about the offside when we conceded the first goal, so it is what it is.
Selles on the win
The FA Cup is always difficult, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is. We have seen teams in higher categories falling from teams in the categories below. We can finish the game a bit earlier, but we complicated ourselves in the final minute. Happy with the performance, keeping the team together and no injuries going into the next round. It was a good day.
Selles on different formations
It is something that we tried to do today, especially to put high pressure with the 4222 and against the ball having two eights. We were a bit caught, especially with the first goal, with the ball in between, which we should have defended better with the 10s. Overall, it gives more lines of passing and more to choose.
Selles on half-time changes
We were missing two things with the wingers: One-on-ones and pressure. We know Harvey [Knibbs] and Femi [Azeez] can do it. It was a matter of changing the dynamic of the game and being more aggressive on the pressure. We were much more aggressive in the second half.
Selles on Dom Ballard
He is a fantastic player and will score goals. It was not his day in front of goal, but it does not take away his qualities. Sometimes our task is to support the boys because we believe in them.
Selles on Bristol Rovers threat
They have confirmed that the interim boss will be there for the next two games so let’s see if he decides to play in the same way he has been playing. It will be a tough game at home and a League One game which will be competitive. We will try our best and try to get some points in the league.
Selles on Lewis Wing
In the beginning, he was injured so he came back to play some minutes and now he is fresh. That position we are putting him in, especially in possession, is putting him in some important spaces and he is a player who can make the difference for us.
