Did we need to find our 'Growler' on Saturday?

From stephen hunt (lol)

When I played for Reading, the key word was 'Growler'. If anyone shouted that, then we knew what to do. It might have been said in the final few minutes of a game, or it could be during a particularly tough spell, but when it was said our approach changed.

We would hit the ball into certain areas of the pitch, we would keep our shape and always have bodies around the ball. We had played our attacking football and now it was time for the points. The four in midfield would stay close together, the forwards would close everyone down and the back four would issue instructions and keep us close. The defenders would buzz off it. This was pure football too, pure, selfless football that means as much as anything else. Sometimes it might not have been pretty, but the win bonus in our bank accounts was attractive. This, after all, is professional football. The object is to win.
