Reading’s George Evans has told the club website that this side will graft to make sure they get the win.
The Royals have recently been on a great run of form and have won five games in a row, most recently beating Bristol City 2-1. This has helped them rise up the Sky Bet Championship and they now sit 3rd in the table, just four points behind 2nd placed Brighton and Hove Albion.
They will be looking to get their sixth win in a row when they face Fulham at the weekend so they can close in on the automatic promotion zone, but Evans acknowledges that this will be a tough game. And while Reading will be looking to win the game through their attractive playing style, Evans has added that this is a team that will graft for the win should they need to do that.
Talking ahead of the match, he said: “We know that Fulham will be a tough game – they play some good football and they have got some good players there. But the confidence is high and we believe we can get the three points.”
“Some of their players are very good and we’ve been working hard this week to see how we can expose them. I don’t think that this is a dressing room that will get complacent – it’s a team that really wants to graft and work hard and keep progressing. It’s a willing dressing room. ”
“There are a lot of players that are ready to step up and they’re working hard on that training pitch to try and get into that starting XI, and those that are in there want to keep their places. We’ve got a squad of players that are really working hard to get their spot in the team.”
“It has been a good season so far. Obviously it’s a very happy dressing room at the moment because we’re winning football games, but we want to take each game as it comes – so we’re looking forward to Fulham now and aiming to get the three points there.”
