Peterborough next.
Not sure if anyone really cares any more after Dai's continuing silent cr@pness towards everyone trying to take the club on.
It's going to be as hard as it gets for the players, I think as they may well be struggling after last Friday's events brought no good news and left them with the realisation they could all (except Tyler Bindon) be dumped on the scrapheap as of 3rd May whether Reading pull off a miracle and qualify for the play offs or not.
Meanwhile the 'boro are one of the form teams of the division with 4 wins and 3 draws from their last 7 league games. On top of that they've kept 2 successive clean sheets so are going to be very hard to break down too.
Midfielders Malik Mothersille and Kwame Poku (21 goals between them so far) are the threats to Reading, but the team have scored 55 times in the league so are rather lively overall. Much fancied striker Ricky Jade-Jones is also standing out as the next to fall off the Peterborough striker conveyor belt into the higher divisions.
Elliott is close to a return and might make the bench but don't think there will be too many changes from the XI that struggled against the Stevenage bus last time out.

Historically
Reading have won 10 of the previous 18 league games played at home against Peterborough and have been beaten just twice (by 1-0 on both occasions) in that run so there is some form behind this one to live up to, trouble is that the state everything is in at the moment there might not be enough oomph to get things going either amongst fans or players!
