PAUL WARNE

praised his Rotherham team’s ruthless streak after routing Reading. The home side ran away with the points with four first-half goals through Richard Wood, Conor Washington, Jamie Lindsay and Chiedozie Ogbene to completely blow away the visiting team. Warne said: ‘It was a good day at the office. The lads took on the plan well. To go in fournil at half-time was a joy. ‘The lads were ruthless and, in this league, to pick up points, you have to be.’ Reading head coach Paul Ince was predictably critical of his team, saying: ‘I said to the lads you can’t play like that first 45. They got bullied.’
