West Ham v Reading

Watching this on stop/start internet TV and how on earth we have gone in 2-1 down is anyone's guess? Good start with a goal from Carton Cole and to be honest we have dominated the posession but as always the crossing has been abysmal, we knock it around quite well but it usually ends up with someone hoofing the ball into the box straight on to a Reading defenders head.
It looked like we would go in a goal up but then Reading got a corner and Kevin Nolan's weak challenge on the scorer saw the ball fly in off Nolan's head (possibly) 2 mins before half time, then in injury time it looked like we failed to clear a loose ball and Hunt scores number 2 (not sure as the feed stopped as it was going in the box and then it was in the net?).
Hopeful to find a better feed for the 2nd half, the other one I tried was showing Cash in the Attic instead of the match :)

2nd half, so far so good on the stream but it's going from bad to worse on the pitch, Faye gives Hunt the chance to dive over his leg and Harte scores from the penalty :(
70 mins gone and West Ham still have most of the game but always hit a hopeful high ball into the box which Cole gets nowhere near, I think we need to sign Peter Crouch and glue him on top of Cole so we actually get to one of our crosses? ooh as I write this Vaz Te scores a cracking header :) Reading still look like scoring every time they get forward though.
4-2 :( looked way offside but given, nearly 5-2 but lino actually sees something wrong this time.

Final score 4-2 to Reading and probably deserved, we had the bulk of the play but never really looked like scoring, Reading always looked dangerous, Vaz Te and maybe Green the only players to come out with any credit :(
