SC: 0-0 not the end of the world
Royals boss Steve Coppell was not satisfied with our result against QPR this weekend - but maintains that 0-0 is not a disaster by any means.
After a fabulous run of home results, we were unable to break through Gareth Ainsworth's men and ended up with a point after a very gritty encounter.
Steve said, "0-0 is not the end of the world. You're bound to be frustrated but I said to the players they had showed all the effort, as well as the desire to go foward and score.
"Every player will say 'I could have done this better or sharper' and some of our control let us down."

Report: Reading 0-0 QPR
Rangers matched up well against our attacking players, and had some real steel in their defence.
Steve said, "If our players are in good form then other teams will be saying 'right, we need to something about it.'
"QPR brought Mikele Leigertwood in on Stephen Hunt and then the other full back kept Jimmy quiet - both the widemen didn't have good deliveries, or the fullbacks."
We travel to Burnley on Tuesday looking to bounce back, and Steve quickly dismissed talk about the journey north.
"I always look at Rooney and Ronaldo, playing all over Europe in the Champions League and World cup qualifiers but you never hear them complaining.
"Being on a bus for four hours is not the worst thing in the world - we'll be up for it."
