Plymouth Argyle drew 0-0 with Reading in a League One match at Home Park on Saturday.
Plymouth Argyle drew 0-0 with Reading at Home Park on Saturday in a League One match between two promotion-chasing sides. Both teams started the day just a point apart in the table, with Argyle in fifth and Reading in sixth. The match was played in front of a 16,000-plus crowd.
The game was decided by defensive strength rather than attacking prowess. Reading, who had scored 25 goals in their previous 12 league games this season, found few opportunities against Argyle's compact shape. Goalkeeper James Storer kept only four saves to make during the match, maintaining a clean sheet on his League One debut.
Storer, aged 22, had only learned he would start around two-and-a-half hours before the 12.30pm kick-off when regular keeper Murphy Cooper became unavailable for personal reasons. There were early nervy moments for Storer, including spilling a gentle header, but manager Tom Cleverley said he 'grew into the game'. Cleverley praised the result, noting it followed back-to-back defeats to Huddersfield Town and Stevenage earlier in the month. 'It was two good teams going at it, blow for blow,' he said, though he identified a lack of quality in final-third execution as the reason neither side scored.
