Match Comment
Richarson featured so he must have overcome his back injury.
Connolly scored two so hopefully last seasons top scorer will be given a chance against Reading.
I am still of the opinion that Kavanagh is worth a first team place from what I seen of him last season he is more effective than Yorke.
