An entertaining and controversial game saw second-half goals from Obafemi Martins and Emre overturn a 2-1 deficit, after Newcastle had gifted the Royals a first-half lead following Antoine Sibierski’s opener.

A particularly strange game, but what do you think? Is the Butt-Emre central midfield partnership a powerful one? If so, why were Newcastle chasing shadows for periods after they lost the second goal? Is Emre better with Butt alongside him? What of the woeful defending? With Bramble out, is there an outside chance that a genuinely poor defender will receive blame? How was Ramage in his preferred position? What areas of the team do Newcastle need to invest in the summer? Are you just happy we’re beginning to climb the league again?

Have your say, people.
