LIVE - QPR v Reading FC

By Jonny Fordham

Reading travel to QPR tonight and you can follow all the action live with Royals reporter Jonny Fordham.

Ryan Bertrand ruled out for QPR match Shaun Cummings: We can do a job at QPR

Brendan Rodgers' team face a tough task as free-scoring Rangers have scored nine goals in their past two home games in the Championship with Royals just netting 10 times in the league in total all season.

However, Reading have looked more composed on their travels in the league this season compared to at home and a win could lift them away from the relegation zone and 21st place.

Jonny writes: Manager Jim Magilton has got his team playing some attractive football and have plenty of flair midifielders and attack minded players to ruin Reading's evening.

If Royals can keep players such as Wayne Routledge, Akos Buzasky and Adel Taarabt quite then they may stand a chance.

However, Rodgers' side come into the game low in confidence on the back of two bad performances and two defeats and I feel QPR will be too strong for them and capitalise with a 2-0 home win.

i went last night and to be fair all we are missing is a striker or 2, a midfield, a defence and a keeper.

4-1 is bad enough, but being beaten by 10 men!!!!! Brenda doesnt cut it. Yes, our current squad is not what it was last year but his strategy so far sucks. He needs to do the right thing now and go.

What a disaster this season is turning out to be.. I think the writing is really on the wall if on monday if we don't see a good performance and a win... don't agree with some people saying bring back SC, that man done wonders for this club but he has had his time, its time to find someone that can motivate the players get the basics right start winning games and do it on a shoe string i would like to see maybe Ian Holloway after the start he has had at Blackpool and being from the west country would probably jump at the chance to be closer to home.....

The reality is though take away the championship winning year and 2 years in the prem and taking away our nice stadium and training ground We are small club with very little ambition and no traddition, and the luck has finally run out.

In all honesty as well i don't think it matters who you get in to replace BR while SJM is in charge cos as a club we will still be penny pinching.. Wonder how many Season tickets he will sell next year?????

Why have Henry and Mooney been shipped out on loan- they havent had a fair shout and Rodgers admits he doesnt know his best team ?

Well the good news is that if those Middle Easterm billionaire potential buyers are still sniffing around - they can now buy the club for a whole lot less cash. Hence, I guess it must be congratulations to Buck, the whole team, Sir JM and Mr Hammond...they've achieved far more than we fans dreaded was possible!

Rodgers OUT!! it couldnt be more straight forward....wouldve been worse had we lost with 11 men against 10! Defeat on Monday and surely Mr M will release him of his duties!..then again he doesnt really care about the football club!

all the good over the last few seasons undone at a stroke .this is shaping up to the bad old days of burns and Charlie Hurley .DO WE WANT THAT I THINK NOT .even getting a new manager would not do any good .so we are stuck with it .a nightmare .

The guy on Reading 107 said tonight that Rodgers has admitted in interviews that he doesn't rate Marek, well seeing the guy is best footballer in the club then that says a lot about Rodgers! Another hammering, how much longer do we have to put up with this man at the helm of the club?

Does anyone know why Rodgers hasn't been fired?

Marek is not playing cos BR is clueless. 4-1 at the mo, he has to go...but also we should ask why people like Hammond are still at the club.

How much longer? Get rid of this manager before we end up in the Blus Sq. Premier Conference league. No more excuses, he's not good enough.

"does anyone know why Marek isn't being picked? "

Have to admit, I've never been a real fan or Marek, but surely he deserves a run in the 1st team? Reckon, he'll be out on loan soon, if teh current management team stay in place.

Other thing I can't understand is how Siggurdsson, our player of the month for September hasn't featured this month?
