Pearson: Architects of our own downfall

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson was disappointed with his team's performance in the 3-1 defeat to in-form Reading.

Mikele Leigertwood gave put the Royals ahead after 15 minutes before Jason Roberts and Simon Church scored late on to wrap up the points, meaning Neil Danns' injury-time goal was only a consolation.

Pearson said: "Reading are good team in a rich vein of form but we contributed to our own downfall.

"We need to start games better. The annoying thing is that we have caused problems by not applying ourselves in the right way in the first half. I will have to consider making changes.

"To make the play-offs now is a massive task. We have had two games this week where we have contributed massively to our own downfall. I am unhappy about the way we have gone about the game.

"There's a lot of hard work to be done because that was not good enough and I will be demanding a reaction in our next game against Birmingham."
