Reading lost their first League One match of the season, comprehensively beaten 3-0 at Wrexham.
Take a look at reaction from boss Ruben Selles below.
Selles on the defeat
"It was a difficult afternoon. The way we came into the game and in the first 20 minutes I think we showed what we are and the character. I think we missed something in the final third, I need to review it. The goal came out of an action we should defend better, and the second goal came so quickly that it put us out of the game for a little bit. A game like today will happen. We tried in the second half, but we conceded the third goal. We need to learn the situations. Sometimes it’s difficult and those games are going to come. The boys put absolutely everything.
Selles on lack of clinical edge
"In the last couple of games, we’ve been clinical but today we missed that part of it. when that isn’t there, it is important that you don’t concede, but today we conceded the first and should have defended better as a team. It is a difficult place [to come], they have a clear style of play and maximise their situations. We need to take the information from today and be prepared for the next game, which will be similar.
We know that we can create situations and have a quick attack- we know we can do it. for me, it was more about keeping the zero against and then we were in the game.
Selles on Adrian Akande debut
"He was as good as any other player on the pitch. It is always difficult to go onto the pitch, but he showed a bit of what he is- he wants to do things and be aggressive in possession. Hopefully, he will only get better in that position.
Selles on Mamadi Camara injury
"We know Mamadi in the last year picked up two injuries- one muscle injury not related to contact and one in training with his ankle- neither related to contact. We tried to put him away from two games per week and reduce his load but on Tuesday in training- absolutely alone in front of goal- he mistouched with his left foot and twisted his ankle so he will be out for some weeks.
Selles on takeover and transfer window
"It always looks like it’s going to come ‘next week.’ I know it will come but it is very difficult to finish a deal like that. Hopefully, it will be done before the transfer window closes. We are working in the transfer window now Femi is not with us, to bring one player at least and the EFL should allow us to do it. If the takeover happens then we should have room to get a couple more to support us. If it doesn’t happen, maybe we will need to work with free agents."
