City one point away from Championship football
Imps’ boss Michael Skubala continues to play down the importance of today’s trip south to face Reading despite his side only needing a draw to be playing Championship football next season.
The head coach said his team will be concentrating on extending its unbeaten run to 24 matches at the Select Car Leasing Stadium for the Easter Monday fixture (3pm KO).
“It is worth just another three points, honestly. We found a way to win against AFC Wimbledon and we need to do that again today.
“We know it won’t be easy against another strong team which is fighting for promotion themselves and on a great run at home.
“It is exciting, everyone is fighting for something, and these are the games you want to be involved in.”
The Royals are currently sixth in Sky Bet League One and hold the final of the four play-off positions with a current points total of 62. Leam Richardson’s squad is enjoying an extended spell of good results, with his side tasting defeat just twice in their last 12 games.
On Good Friday, they had to settle for a point at Huddersfield Town’s Accu Stadium when, former Imp Lasse Sørensen’s 96th minute goal was enough to offset Lewis Wing’s first-half penalty.
Reading’s most recent home game saw the side emerge 3-0 winners over Wigan Athletic with Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan scoring a brace along with an own goal from Wigan’s Will Aimson.
The reverse fixture between these two sides at the LNER Stadium was on the opening day of the season and saw City come out on top by a scoreline of 2-0, Finley Burns found the back of his own net to open the scoring when deflecting a Rob Street shot before Reeco Hackett doubled the Imps lead in the second period.
