Reading fc

Join reporter Jonathan Low for live coverage of Reading FC's clash with Championship league leaders Blackburn Rovers at the SCL Stadium on Wednesday night.

I said, this is us, to the players. It merited three or four goals in the first half. All the credit to the players. It's the Championship. The backline was immense. It's a siege mentality. Lumley - I told him to put Rotherham to bed. We set traps and they did it absolutely perfectly. Rovers will move four points clear of Hull City and Watford with a victory. Ince I said we needed a response.

Reading host the Championship's only 100 per cent wins team, with Blackburn Rovers travelling to Berkshire hoping to keep their perfect record up.

As has become the norm in RG2, Paul Ince will be missing a whole host of stars ahead of the fourth league fixture of the season. A mixed bag for the hosts, Reading have lost two and won one of their opening three matches, yet to take the lead in a game and conceding within the first 10 minutes each time. But supporters of the Ewood Park outfit will not get ahead of themselves, with Ben Brereton Diaz's future still potentially away from the club and the side as high as second up until February last year under Tony Mowbray, only to come eighth.

The Royals biffed Blackburn to end their 100 per cent start to the season, and bounce back from a miserable away performance.

A night where, to quote the chant, they got into them and f***ed them up. Reading refused to cruise home, still fighting for 50/50s and led by the imperious midfield quartet of Ince, Fornah, Jeff Hendrick and Loum in his first home league start. There was no doubt that the home fans had turned up to back their boys after a woeful weekend and here was their early reward. Three goals to the good and just under 15 minutes to play, these points were safe. Blackburn were incredibly sloppy playing out from the back, encouraged by the domineering pressing of Mamadou Loum and Co in Reading’s 3-5-2, and constantly gifted chances inside their own box. Pre kick-off, the hosts paid tribute to Jack Walker on the 22nd anniversary of the Blackburn legend’s death, something warmly matched by the Reading fans.

The former Rovers boss was delighted to see his side win 3-0 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

"The Championship is a grind and it's up and down, but you've got to work. "I felt we needed to be on the front foot. All the credit to the players - they were amazing." We started well, the crowd were with us and we deserved to go in at half-time in the lead. I always felt we needed the second goal. The former Rovers boss admitted his team purposefully set traps to lure [Tomasson's ](https://www.lancs.live/all-about/jon-dahl-tomasson)team to play out and caught them on several occasions.

Reports in Spain suggest that La Liga outfits Cadiz and Rayo Vallecano are potentially interested in signing Romania striker George Puscas.

Arriving from Inter Milan for a club-record fee in 2019, the international striker hit 20 goals in 91 appearances and has not featured under Paul Ince. Marcos Benito, of outlet El Chiringuito TV, has reported that the pair are interested in Puscas, although in form of a loan. Rumours imply that the Royals can only sign defender Naby Sarr, who has been training with the team for three weeks, if the Romanian is off the books- although this has not been formally confirmed.

Puscas has clearly fallen out of favour with the Royals and at the same time seems keen to make a move himself. However, it’s worth getting a deal done soon to ensure they don’t miss out on signing Sarr. Holmes and McIntyre have been okay but on Saturday it was men against boys in many respects. It may be a case of wages with the player holding out for a better deal or it could be that Reading are trying to drive up the bids coming in for the player.
