Reading striker Jason Roberts has claimed that his side will be "disappointed" with their defending in today's 1-1 draw against Bolton Wanderers.

The Royals were behind until a Nick Blackman penalty recused a point for Nigel Adkins's side in their Championship encounter.

However, Roberts believes that his players will be dejected with the way they defended Darren Pratley's opener.

"Reading will be disappointed that they allowed Darren Pratley to ghost into position for his goal. We spoke about him together in midweek," he told BBC Sport

"Nick Blackman put in a great shift and deserved his goal. I am a huge fan of his.

"I was with him at Blackburn, and he showed his ability only in spurts. At Reading, people should watch how he gets on."

Reading have four points so far this season.
