A goal in each half from Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana consigned Reading to their seventh consecutive league defeat.My players did very well and we were really pleased with victory against a team fighting relegation but our goal still remains to focus on the next game, he said.It was very important because we hadn't won away in nine games so we were very pleased with the result. At the end of the day, we've not got the decisions or the result. We are where we are - the lads have put a big effort in but the reality is we are at the wrong end of the division and we've lost a game we needed to win.Adkins, who was sacked by Southampton in January and replaced by Mauricio Pochettino, praised his team's "good energy" and felt they had been on the wrong end of some questionable refereeing decisions.While Reading's worries deepen, Southampton's have eased after a third successive victory that takes them seven points clear of trouble. Mike Jones denied the hosts a penalty when Hal Robson-Kanu went down under a challenge from Jos Hooiveld and ignored pleas for a foul on Reading's keeper when Rodriguez raised his foot to poke Rickie Lambert's pass beyond Adam Federici for the opening goal.
