Review and events

Reading started the season brightly. However, injury to the three strikers, Dave Kitson, Nicky Forster and Shaun Goater, meant that the goals dried up and they slipped down the league. For much of the season Ivar Ingimarsson, a centre back, was the club's main source of goals. However, Kitson's return, coupled with the signings of veterans and former England internationals Les Ferdinand and Martin Keown meant that the club broke a run of 11 league games without a win against West Ham. Reading won 3–1, with a Dave Kitson hat-trick. Reading just missed out on a playoff spot on the last day of the season, losing 3–1 to Wigan. Dave Kitson was the club's top scorer, with 19 goals.

and events EditThis section needs expansion You can help by adding to it October 2007 Reading started the season brightly However injury to the three strikers Dave Kitson Nicky Forster and Shaun Goater meant that the goals dried up and they slipped down the league For much of the season Ivar Ingimarsson a centre back was the club s main source of goals However Kitson s return coupled with the signings of veterans and former England internationals Les Ferdinand and Martin Keown meant that the club broke a run of 11 league games without a win against West Ham Reading won 3 1 with a Dave Kitson hat trick Reading just missed out on a playoff spot on the last day of the season losing 3 1 to Wigan Dave Kitson was the club s top scorer with 19 goals See also 2004 05 in English
