Reading should have won – Stam

Reading boss Jaap Stam felt his side should have beaten QPR at Loftus Road.

Danny Williams’ first-half goal earned the Royals a deserved point and they created a number of chances in the second half.

“I think we should have won it,” Stam said after the 1-1 draw.

“If you look at the game and how we played, we should have scored a second goal.

“They tried to make it difficult for us by pressing us high up the pitch, but there was still a lot of space for us.

“When you give the ball away and then concede a goal it makes it difficult, but we came back well and managed to get an equaliser quickly.

“We kept searching for the second goal in the second half but there was always a threat from QPR, who are a strong side and have physical players.

“In the second half, though, with the chances we created, and sometimes should have created, we should have scored and that’s the thing we didn’t do well.

“We defended well, we attacked well at times, but I think we should have scored in the second half and won the game.”
