Ireland so sorry as pair see red

Reading 2 Nottm Forest 0

CARETAKER boss Simon Ireland felt his Forest side tried too hard to put the departure of manager Aitor Karanka behind them.

A turbulent 24 hours ended with defeat and Daniel Fox and Tendayi Darikwa seeing red.

John Swift (right) and a Jack Robinson own-goal gave Reading their first win since November. Ireland said: “It’s almost impossible for the last 24 hours not to have an effect on the players. I’d like to apologise to the fans.”
