Nottingham Forest missed the chance to really put the pressure on Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion in the Sky Bet Championship last night as they drew with Reading 1-1 at the City Ground.
The Reds are one of the promotion contenders this season and with Leeds and the Baggies dropping points of late, they had a chance to really close the gap up to the top two with a win.
However, minutes from the end Sam Baldock scored for the Royals to ensure the game would finish as a draw on what was an ultimately frustrating night for the home side.
Joe Lolley shared his disappointment on Twitter after the match, too, with him having this to say:

Lolley has largely reflected the feeling of the fans, too, with many having plenty to say on social media afterwards.
Let’s take a look at the best of what has been said:
Gutted too. But I have one happy little boy 😂 when you walked past lower Trent end he lost his head. He’s never been so close to his idol before 😭

Keep your head up bud, you're getting back into the form of last season. You were double manned and closed down quickly tonight, nothing to be gutted about, a point is better than a loss
