The Red Dragons marked their return to the third tier with a 3-2 home win against Wycombe Wanderers on the opening day of the season.

There are certainly cause for optimism, with former Wycombe Wanderers owner Rob Couhigà on the verge of purchasing the club from Dai Yongge.
While Reading’s off-field issues could soon be resolved, Ruben Selles has been focused on matters on the pitch, having seen his side make an encouraging start to the new season.
