Reading interim boss Paul Ince has described his side's performance as "embarrassing" after they were easily beaten 4-0 by Nottingham Forest.
The Royals have now lost three games on the bounce and find themselves being drawn into a relegation fight with just four points separating them and 22nd-placed Barnsley.
What turned out to be an incredibly difficult day for the Royals started after just 18 seconds when Keinan Davis put the hosts ahead after Djed Spence's excellent run.
