Rival bosses find positives in stalemate

Managers Brian McDermott and Chris Hughton praised the defending on show after the goalless draw between Reading and Norwich at the Madejski Stadium.

Reading are still without a win in the Barclays Premier League this season and remain in the bottom three, while the Canaries extended their unbeaten run to four games. McDermott pinpointed a first clean sheet of the season as the positive for the Royals and was not upset that a league win remains elusive.

When asked what pleased him with the result, McDermott said: "Keeping a clean sheet, obviously."
