"If you are going to be serious about getting out of this league you have to look at the teams that are at the top and say that is where we need to get to," said Coleman to the media after the match.
"Of course we wanted to win the game today if possible, but it was a hard game.
"I think both teams worked hard but it was good for us not to lose to one of the top three and get another clean sheet and I thought for long periods we did very well against Reading."
