Heading into November 2023, Reading had lost their five most recent games and were bottom of League One on a miserly six points. Twelve months on and they have won three of their four most recent games and sit ninth in League One on a more promising 22 points, one point off the play-off places. Performances have ranged between high quality - the wins against Burton, Huddersfield, Charlton and Wigan - to the dismal, with defeats at Stockport, Bolton, and Rotherham.

Reading fans staged a pitch invasion 16 minutes into Saturday's League One game against Port Vale in protest against owner Dai YonggeAll the attention needs to be focused firmly on owner Dai Yongge and his associates. It was a cry for help and a last resort. There's a helplessness and anger amongst fans, and this was their way of drawing attention to the plight. Now it is over to the English Football League and Dai. The EFL needs to show some common sense when its panel meets to discuss punishments.
