Angry Reading fans surround team bus after 0-0 draw at Peterborough

The discontent between Reading's supporters and their manager Veljko Paunovic was evident once more on Wednesday night following their goalless draw at Peterborough.

After the stalemate at their relegation rivals, fans of the Championship club surrounded their team bus to heap further pressure on Paunovic.

The draw ended a seven-game losing streak for the Royals, but many of their fanbase have had enough of Paunovic's methods.

Speaking post-match, Paunovic, who would only answer questions on the game, said: 'I stood up for the call to carry this project forward and I am doing my best.

'We knew it was going to be hard with deductions and embargos, and we have had to deal with a lot of setbacks.

'We are disappointed we didn't get all three points because we were close, but our first clean sheet in a long time is a positive to build on.

'Every single one of the players gave their best. There was a lot of people bleeding and exhausted, which tells you how much everyone cares and gives their best.

'We showed grit - we showed something that maybe in the past was missing. The team fought very hard.

'There was a maturity in our approach, especially in the first half when we dealt with a lot of pressure.

'We had to be patient in the second half and that patience brought us situations in which we had opportunities.

'I think the team needs unity, togetherness and support.'

As revealed on Sunday by Sportsmail, Reading are on the verge of sacking the Serb - with their poor run of form now equating to just one win in 14 matches.

Reading fans stormed onto the pitch in protest after the 3-2 defeat by Coventry on Saturday.
