After a solid effort against Playoff contender Hull ended in a last-minute defeat for the Royals, they return to Madejski Stadium without any additional points but with a new manager, who is also an old manager at RFC, Brian McDermott. Sunday, the Blackburn Rovers will face off against the Royals. Currently sitting 2 places above Reading in the Championship Table (but only 1 point ahead), the Rovers are coming off a scoreless draw against Nottingham Forest but on a run of three wins and two draws in their last 5 matches. The Royals are coming off the Hull loss and on a run of one win and four losses in their previous 5 matches. Can the Royals under McD gain 3 points on Sunday to move back up the table? Please make your prediction below. Points System 10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 4-1 Blackburn and the result is Reading 4-1 Blackburn (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score); 7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Blackburn and the result is Reading 4-1 Blackburn (this result includes a draw with the wrong score e.g. you predict a 1-1 draw and the result is 0-0); 5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 2-0 Blackburn and the result is Reading 4-1 Blackburn; 1 point - if you get the prediction completely wrong, you still get one point for taking part! Bonus Points You get bonus points for three things: 5 points - correct half-time score 2 points - correct goalscorers, for each goalscorer predicted that does indeed score (NOTE: this season you get points for correctly predicting the goalscorers of only Reading FC. You only get the points if Reading score the same amount of goals as you predicted or more. This prevents prediction of ridiculous scorelines for more points.) 5 points - correctly predicting the 'bonus question' within the specified tolerance. If one person comes closest to the actual value, that person will receive 7 points, but if two or more are both equally close, only the 5 points will be awarded. Please put the score in this format: Reading 4-1 Blackburn (HT: 2-0) [Home x-y Away format] Hector Hurtado Sa ...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'... According to the BBC stats, how many shots on Best of luck to you and the Royals on Sunday! I'm a bit unwell, so it will be tomorrow before I get the results from the Hull match processed and the Predicition Game updated. Sorry for the delay. Edited by Owlish52, 18 Dec 2015, 07:59 PM.

Reading 1 - 0 Blackburn Rovers (0-0 HT) Blackman Bonus: 5 shots on target Owlish52, the bonus question refers to shots on target, rather than just shots in general as I understand it? Sorry to be picky, but a shot on goal could suggest every shot made. Might just be the way I am looking at it! |

Hope you are feeling better too Bill. Just to save you some effort I did the pints from Hull for you. I got 50, and everyone else just the one! HTH

Reading 3-0 Blackburn HT 1-0 FS Vydra, Blackman (2) A bit optimistic maybe, but we have got a good squad and if they don't want to impress the new boss now then we are in trouble. Hopefully he'll tell them to actually pass to Vydra, and Blackman can go on another scoring spree. Got to get a clean sheet occasionally surely? 5 on target. |

No, you are exactly correct, and I used the wrong term. I'm going to change the text, as I meant shots on target, per the BBC. At least there is time to clarify my error and let folks make adjustments as they feel appropriate! |
