A weekend caning for Wednesday
Reading showed no signs of fatigue after their midweek exertions in the West Midlands. Instead Brian McDermott’s men administered an absolute thrashing to Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls, who suffered a 6-0 defeat at the Madejski Stadium last season, did slightly better this time round, only losing 5-0. Two goals each from Jimmy Kebe and Grzegorz Rasiak were accompanied by a goal from Simon Church. The significance of the victory was felt when the Championship league table was viewed, as Reading now sit four points above the drop zone.
