Royals go on a Robins rampage

Well, what do I know? Clearly smarting after the unlucky midweek defeat at Turf Moor, Reading reacted in emphatic style by thumping Bristol City 4-1. A brace from The Doyler and  a goal each for Noel Hunt and Kalifa Cisse (a belter) ensured maximum points were taken away from home for only the second time this season. It was a well deserved victory against a side who hadn't conceded a goal in over 400 minutes of football. What a season this is turning out to be - the proverbial roller coaster ride. I predicted a defeat today based on recent results and performances, but you don't turn into a bad team overnight as they say! Next up are Derby County at home, and a chance to get back to winning ways at the Madejski Stadium too.

A massage from the Swedish envoy: More good news tonight as Birmingham falter at home. The Royals are now only 3 points off second spot having played the same number of games. I still think Brum aren't scoring enough to make that sustained challenge. Derby at home could be tough, but let's remember the the final day of last season and hope it inspires us. Brum are away at Forest who are showing some signs of improvement - fingers crossed and stick your pins in your Alex McLeish voodoo dolls (sorry Alex - I do like you honest...) so that URRRZZZZ climb to second on Saturday
