Reading manager Mark Bowen said:
"That was tough to take, very much so, I'm quite staggered at the moment at what I just witnessed. I've no fears about relegation. But it was certainly a wake-up call.
"Three months I've been here and I've spent many times giving the lads pats on the back. And rightly so. But this is one of those times when it was just unacceptable.
"My job is to take this club forward and I will endeavour to do that, with the last breath in my body. But we were outbattled, outplayed and out-everythinged.
"The players didn't work hard enough to make things work. You need work, desire, application and braveness. But we didn't have any of that. There just seemed a casualness about our mentality."
