Marek Matejovsky has served his one match ban and should fit straight back into the lineup as the Royals face relegation doomed Fulham in a must win game at the Madejski.
With Bolton battling West Ham a win for the Royals could all but mean safety, providing the Hammers do us a favour, due to the fact we still have Wigan and Derby to face…and Arsenal should be an easy three points too.
The one worry going into the game is that Fulham have failed to win away from Craven Cottage in well over a year and the Royals do seem to be a team where you can break your unwanted streaks against.
The Royals have been given the added boost of the return of Glen Little, who is slowly regaining match fitness and will hopefully feature before the end of the season, but against Fulham is unlikely. Graeme Murty is now fully fit after his rather convenient injury that saw Liam Rosenior successfully take over the skipper’s right back starting spot.
Rosenior has enjoyed a successful spell in the side since Murty’s injury and part of the Royals resurgence must be credited to him. Rosenior is a former Fulham player and arrived at the Madejski during August after being exchanged for Seol Ki-Hyeon, Sulky or Arse-Seol, whatever you really want to call him and we have certainly got the better end of the deal as he has clearly failed to make an impact at Fulham (he actually wanted to leave the Royals so he could play more games, ironically we have had no right winger all season and he hasn’t been picked since January, wrong move son) and he will likely play no part for Fulham in the game tomorrow.
The Royals will be desperate to overcome the embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Newcastle last week and get revenge on the 3-0 defeat suffered at Craven Cottage earlier in the season and I am confident they will do so.
Prediction: Royals 2 Fulham 0, Kevin Doyle will score his first goal this year.
