Reading form and stats

Reading have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Championship, after 4-0-8 (12 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Reading who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Derby County was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Luton Town.
