Oh... it seems that Reading is the only team with no strengths... Nice one Tim
Manager: Brian McDermott.
Last season: 5th in the Championship, lost in the play-off final to Swansea.
Weaknesses: Every season they rely on unearthing a low cost gem. Can they keep doing that? Matt Mills has already been sold. Other star players, most notably last season's top scorer Shane Long are likely to follow Mills out before the end of August.
Key Man: Shane Long, until he is sold. Then Noel Hunt will lead the line for the rest of the season. The Irishman has been injury prone throughout his time at Reading, but this could be a big season for him if he can stay fit.
