Reds Manager Danny Wilson hailed his side's performance after defeating Reading 3-1 at the Madejski Stadium.

Stephen Dawson, Reuben Noble-Lazarus and Dale Jennings all hit the top bag with three goals earning three points.

"It was a terrific night for us," said Danny. "I don't think even the most diehard of Reading fans can complain that we deserved to take away the three points.

"We fully deserved it and the way the lads went about it from start to finish was tremendous. We pressed the ball well and our energy levels were top-drawer.

"I'm not too convinced people believe us but inside the dressing room we've got great belief. If anyone wants to come with us, that's up to them. Whatever people think of us won't change my opinion.

"We've got a terrific chance of staying up and if you've seen a performance like today, you can understand why I believe that.

"We've got players missing and players who have come in who were absolutely top-drawer. Kelvin Etuhu today was absolutely brilliant for us. The kid's been out of the picture for so long, he's come into a strange position and he's conducted himself like a true professional. His performance was top-class and I take my hat off to him."

Speaking of the trio of goals, Wilson added, "They were worthy of winning any game."
