Kitson late show gets Royals back on track

Lord Steven of Coppellshire celebrated his 1000th game as a manager with a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Doncaster Rovers. Changes were made by The Gaffer who opted for what was effectively a 4-5-1 formation with Bikey recalled for Pearce at centre back, Kevin Doyle joined the midfield out on the right (Jimmy Kebe was moved to left wing)  and Dave Kitson ploughing a lone furrow when Rovers had possession. At times we controlled the game with Rovers happy to hit on the counter. The match was heading for a goalless draw when in the 82nd minute a clever Matejovsky pass found Chris Armstrong who found Dave Kitson. The prodigal son (mk. II) struck a sweet curling left-foot shot past Neil Sullivan to resurrect our automatic promotion hopes just three days after they had looked dead in the water.

A great win, with a determined and mature performance. We absolutely need to post back-to-back away wins for (possibly?) the first time this season and beat Colin's Crystal Palace on Saturday. Game on, this thing will go to the wire!
