Reading manager Jaap Stam said:
"I don't think we were ever in the race for the top two. We are just beginning to build something this season after finishing 17th last year.
"If we have a chance to achieve something we should go for it, but I was never under any illusion that we are in the race for the top two against Newcastle, who have spent 60 to 70 million pounds, and Brighton, who have worked towards this for three years.
"It makes it very hard when you have to equalise twice. I don't think we deserved any more but it was an important point for us."
