Reading vs Blackburn Rovers

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.

Will this be a night of redemption for the Royals?

It did feel as though the former would have benefitted from having a forward partner at Rotherham and with Blackburn yet to address their centre-back situation, having an extra striker may give Tomasson’s side something to think about. Already having a decent number of young players who could develop into Premier League players in the future, they have complemented that with three decent additions. As of Tuesday afternoon, Naby Sarr hasn’t signed and Sam Hutchinson isn’t likely to be available either, so the same back five remains. Let’s hope things explode into life in the coming days, though we may need to wait for someone to leave before we can bring anyone else in. Rotherham could have easily scored more but in fairness to our defence, we weren’t exactly a real threat going forward either. The anger on social media after Saturday’s game was understandable, even though we already know this looks set to be a very tough campaign.

The Chilian 2 goals and an assist in 5 outings along with 0.7 He has 3 assists in 3 outings for the team. On the other hand, the Blackburn Rovers did have a satisfying season but they fell short of finding the next gear, that would have enabled them to qualify for the EFL Championship playoffs. For Reading FC, the inclusion of the Porto midfielder Mamadou Loum is a much-needed boost as he made his debut against Rotherham United. Jeff Hendrick is a talented winger who has 79.4% pass percentage but is struggling to get off the mark this season. Not only did they finish 21st in the Championship, they also suffered an early exit in the Carabao Cup against Swansea besides losing to Kidderminster Harriers in the 3rd round of FA Cup. This implies that the away team is ahead on paper with the hosts searching for momentum. The hosts narrowly missed the relegation zone by 4 points and are looking to keep themselves afloat this time around.

Blackburn Rovers suffered their first defeat of the Championship season as goals from Tom McIntyre and Junior Hoilett inflicted a 3-0 home win.

The players have been excellent but today was a bad performance. Kaminski makes a fantastic save to deny Shane Long from making it two. What I said from the beginning we will win and lose games. It was a disappointing night. I will not complain about the referees/ I think it is always a money issue. If there is a bid, it is about the amount of the money. It's a strong league and there are lots of games. He is a good boy and a quality player. The Belgian will be disappointed to have been beaten at his near post despite the pace of the shot. Reading were fully deserving of their victory and dominated from start to end. Every set-piece caused an issue and led to the opener as McIntyre nodded home.
