Reading slumped to another defeat in the Sky Bet Championship, against fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers at the Madejski Stadium in a dull game with few shots on target.
With the Royals languishing dangerously close to the foot of the Championship table, picking up points against QPR would have propelled the home team further up the division and out of immediate relegation trouble.
Fans were already irate after this shoddy performance, and post match comments from the Reading manager Paul Clement only fuelled more anger from the supporters towards him. The manager himself admitted that he could have picked a better starting lineup as opposed to the starting eleven he choose to face QPR.
The Berkshire side looked to have turned a corner after picking up four points from a possible six in their last two league games, with a 3-0 win against Hull City at the Madejski and a 2-2 draw against high-flyers Brentford. This was before their meeting with another West London side, Queens Park Rangers. The two positive results against Hull City and Brentford relieved increasing pressure on the current boss. However after this poor result, there are already calls on Twitter for the manager to be relieved of his duties.
After a very slow start to the season, Clement was given the benefit of the doubt by the vast majority of supporters due to the club's horrific form at the end of last season when Jaap Stam left the club. The fans' disconnection with the current players was covering up the fact that Reading's form under Paul Clement was, and still is, woeful.
Despite most of the anger caused by the QPR defeat being aimed at Clement, the players also took their fair share of criticism. There were a lot of damning comments towards a lot of the players on the hashtag timeline associated with Reading Football Club.
Criticism is now more noticeable than ever with the availability of social media. This barrage of negative comments from the Royals supporters on Twitter reflects the current unrest at the Madejski Stadium. Results will have to pick up again quickly to prevent fans turning against Paul Clement and his players even further.
