Royals wretched away form continues

Reading went down to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Burnley at Turf Moor this evening. Robbie Blake scored the only goal of the contest on 81 minutes. This means we have inexplicably won only once on our travels all season. Simply put, this sort of form means a top 6 finish at best come May next year. Even more of a concern is that the home form has suffered a dip too, so we can't even rely on that to keep us in contention. Our frailties away from home are there for all to see; Burnley were swept aside at the Madejski a few weeks back, but would have certainly fancied ther changes in the return fixture - after all we had already lost to Ipswich, Preston and Charlton this season. Worrying times indeed, and I can only predict another defeat on our travels at Ashton Gate this Saturday, by which time we could have dropped a few places in the table.
