The national newspapers' views on Norwich City's 0-0 draw at Reading.

Sunday Mirror: 'For Norwich, there was further proof of the amazing improvement in the defending from a side who leaked goals at an alarming rate early in the season.'

The Mail on Sunday: 'Norwich, who conceded five goal at Fulham, five at home to Liverpool and four at Chelsea, offered Reading few openings in a dull match with little good football.'

The Observer: 'Both teams squandered chances in a match that lacked spark and left Reading still in the bottom three, while the visitors extended their unbeaten run.'

The Independent: 'Norwich, after comfortably dodging first-season failure, are making a decent fist of avoiding second season syndrome on the back of four matches unbeaten.'

The Sunday Telegraph: 'After the goal rush, a drought. Having hosted six and 12-goal thrillers in the past two games, the Madejski Stadium was due a goalless draw.'
