A trip to Barnsley beckons. A trip to a team on an awful run of 6 defeats and 2 draws in their last 8 (prior to Preston's visit on Boxing Day). In fact Barnsley are so bad they even managed to lose at the Madejski Stadium last moth. However I'm sure Reading won't let that faze them.
Referee
Simon Hooper is up for this one
