Reading FC manager Ruben Selles has voiced his ambitions for greater performance from his players following their recent 1-0 victory against Northampton Town. Despite securing a hard-fought win, Selles believes there is room for improvement and expects more from his team in upcoming matches.
The winning goal, a sublime strike from substitute Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, sealed the victory for the Royals. However, it was goalkeeper Joel Pereira who stole the spotlight with his exceptional saves, earning him the Man of the Match award. Pereira’s performance contributed significantly to Reading’s clean sheet, marking his tenth of the season.
This triumph marked Reading’s second consecutive home victory, building on their impressive 4-0 win against Cambridge United earlier. These victories have provided a positive outlook for the team, especially considering their challenges off the pitch and their current 17th position in League One. Despite facing a six-point deduction due to financial issues, Reading is now six points clear of the relegation zone.
Looking ahead, Reading faces a tough test against promotion-chasing Bolton Wanderers. Selles acknowledges the difficulty of the upcoming fixture but remains optimistic about his team’s potential. He emphasized the importance of consistency and improvement, highlighting that while the recent results have been positive, there is still work to be done to achieve higher levels of performance and success on the pitch.
