For me, this meeting was useful for two reasons. Off the pitch, it was good to meet Dayong Pang and other senior Reading staff on Wednesday.
Wins are needed now considering the future sanctions we may face, including the HMRC charge that’s currently hanging over us like a dark cloud. On the pitch, I hope we can build on that draw at Lincoln. Returning to the Select Car Leasing Stadium for this afternoon’s game, they will be hoping to pick up a point or three once again, but that won’t be an easy task considering they are facing a side who have fought against adversity and fought their way out of the relegation zone quite early on in the season despite being deducted eight points.Īhead of kick-off, we have a short preview. Today’s hosts didn’t perform terribly during last weekend’s clash at LNER Stadium - but they will be frustrated that they didn’t pick up three points - with wins sorely needed in their quest to avoid relegation.
Reading will be hoping to build on their draw at Lincoln City by securing a win against Wigan Athletic this afternoon.
