The Royals boss Jaap Stam feels his side should have defended set plays better vs Bolton.

Reading conceded two goals from two set plays in the first half to go 2-0 down, before recovering to a 2-2 draw.

"They scored two goals, two set pieces," Stam told 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor. "We need to do better in set pieces.

"We knew they had that quality, and you can see in their play too, they were looking for free-kicks."

And Stam was also exasperated after another one of his first team squad, John Swift, picked up an injury.

"It keeps on going.

"Swift has been doing very good for us lately...we were aware of the hamstring injuries he has had...we tried to manage him to keep him fit."
