Keown: Reading 'over-do' it at the back

Martin Keown says that Reading need to take more attacking risks in the future, as his son Niall plays for the Under 23s in the EFL Trophy.

"I think it's about balance. I see what [Reading] are trying to do, what they're trying to achieve."

"It's not just Reading, you see a lot of teams doing this now, going back. I feel sorry for the centre forwards."

"What's the harm in trying to put it into the channel for Samuel to run onto it. You risk giving the ball away, but I feel you have to punish the opposition."

"I used to give it to the player who was better than me, in front of me, climb that ladder through the team."
