Reading manager Noel Hunt has got his alibi in first by praising Nathan Jones and Charlton ahead of tomorrow's encounter at The Valley. If he gets a point, he can portray it as a great victory: https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/reading-boss-previews-fresh-charlton-050000522.html
The Royals are the only club in all four divisions under a transfer embargo because of the delaying tactics of useless owner Dai Yongge in refusing to sell the club. I have covered this extensively on my business of football site, one report is here: https://footballeconomyv2.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-strange-decline-of-reading.html
Nevertheless, team spirit is high and they are challenging for the play off places and are fifth in the table whilst Charlton are 11th after the postponement at Crawley.
The Royals do seem to do better at home and have won just three games on their travels, although they have drawn four, losing five. They beat Cambridge United away 3-1 on New Year's Day.
The ludicrous postponement at Crawley may have disrupted Charlton's momentum, but I still think we could beat Reading tomorrow.
It's a hard frost in the Midlands this morning and the covers are out at Your Co-op Community Stadium after the New Year's Day televised win over Hereford with a spectacular penalty save by The Hawk. It's the Battle of the Spas against Buxton on Saturday.
As far as I can tell, any sleet and snow is not likely to fall in SE7 until the end of the day.
Reading are expected to bring 2,500 supporters. CAS Trust preview here: https://www.castrust.org/2025/01/brave-the-weather-for-reading-clash/
