Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll was left disappointed with his side's defending after seeing them conced a two-goal lead to lose 4-3 at Reading Matt Mills gave Reading an early lead against his former club, but then goals from James Hayter, Shelton Martis and Dean Shiels put Doncaster 3-1 up. On the hour Jem Karacan pulled one back for Reading, Ian Harte levelled from a free-kick and with three minutes to go Simon Church hit Reading's winner to round off an astonishing comeback.O'Driscoll said, "We didn't defend well enough for the whole 90 minutes but when you are 3-1 up you think you will get something out of the game. "We made too many mistakes and that's the annoying thing. You coach them as a group in the week to show them what they have done wrong, but then they either don't bother or don't understand and make the same mistakes again. They don't take it on board as a group or individuals."Good football means you have got to defend as well and I don't think we defended well enough. Their keeper [Adam Federici] kicks a good ball but what happens after that is vital and we made poor decisions
