Reading Ratings: Jeriel Dorsett makes positive impact off the bench in Stevenage draw
Reading scored in the final 10 minutes to draw 1-1 at Stevenage, courtesy of a goal from makeshift striker Harvey Knibbs.
Take a look below at the ratings from the Lamex Stadium.
Joel Pereira, 6: A relatively quiet afternoon for the shot stopper, with Stevenage's tidy goal from Dan Kemp their only real effort of note. Distribution lacked consistency but nothing too concerning.
Michael Craig, 6: The quieter of the two full-backs as Boro opted to target the Royals' left. Looked to get forward when he could and defended well.
Tyler Bindon, 7: Imperious at the back, winning absolutely everything in the air. Made a crucial block to foil a four-versus-two situation for the hosts.
Amadou Mbengue, 6: Loved nothing more than getting the ball at his feet and driving deep into the Stevenage half. Not as noticeable as other weeks, which isn't always a bad thing for defenders.
Andre Garcia, 5: A difficult afternoon for the 16-year-old, who targeted throughout. Another still so young, it is another learning experience for the teenager.
Lewis Wing, 6: Looked to make things happen and was crucial as the deeper midfielder. Saw little in the way of goalscoring chances but created plenty.
Charlie Savage, 6: A terrier-like performance as ever from the Wales international with constant harrying and pressing. Really should have scored in the first half, toe-poking a chance wide from inside the box.
Ben Elliott, 6: In flashes, looked like he was capable of changing the game. Loved to collect the ball on the half-turn and drive forward but as the game wore on Stevenage wised up. Had a chance himself to score the winner and forced the goalkeeper into a strong save.
Mamadi Camara, 5: A disappointing display from the winger who lost the ball too easily and found it difficult to support his full-back defensively. As with most of the squad, still very young and will learn from the day.
Harvey Knibbs, 7: Harried and hustled the defence in the more advanced forward role. Took his goal well and should have scored a second deep in stoppage time.
Chem Campbell, 7: His best display in a Reading shirt, beating his full-back all afternoon and working incredibly hard. Did well to stay on his feet and feed Knibbs for the equaliser.
Substitutes
Jeriel Dorsett, 8: The defenders best performance for the club after entering the action off the bench. Won every dual and joined attacks wherever possible. The Royals visibly grew in confidence and ability after the break.
