Reading - Head2Head, Early team news
Last updated : 14 March 2005 By Denti
After another defeat at Burnley, despite being the better side, we now face another home game where we appear to have nothing to play for apart from a bit of pride. If anything, a bit of entertainment would be nice!
Millers manager Alan Knill is contemplating a couple of changes to the starting line-up. Michael Keane is in contention for a starting place after a bright performance in the second half at Turf Moor last Saturday. His willingness to tackle may provide the fight that the Millers have been lacking all season. Meanwhile, it is not certain whether loanee Leandre Griffit will start after his non-existant first half performance at Burnley which lead to him being substituted at half time.

On the injury font, Martin Butler is certain to miss the game as he has not been fit to train today after suffering another illness. Chris Swailes is still unlikely to feature as his hip injury is still giving him problems, which is a massive blow to the Millers.
In contrast, Reading will be confident after their demolition of West Ham last Saturday, and furthermore they have no fresh injury worries.
