Reading 2 - 0 Coventry

Saturday, 14 January 2006
The Coca-Cola Football League Championship

I was expecting this to be a difficult one. Coventry under Mickey Adams have become hard to beat and were surely coming to the home of the runaway league leaders for a point. What was likely to make them even more resolute was the homecoming of Adie Williams (club stalwart) who was sadly released during the January window last year. He's still a good player .. but he is slow and was bound to drop off deep .. and so it proved! Coventry played 5 at the back with Richard Shaw (ex-Crystal Palace veteran) and were difficult to break down in the final third. Loads of possession for Reading but no end product really although both Convey and LIttle looked lively ... and Kitson didn't!

And then either side of half time Kitson scores twice (he's now top scorer in the league) and it's all over. Coventry change to 3-4-3 and had a go but Reading were too good. (phrases you never hear!)

Onwards & Upwards - 9 point clear of Sheff Utd in 2nd and 21 point clear of Dirty Leeds in 3rd.
