A match at Madejski on Saturday - by the Reading Performance Schedule (always subject to adjustment), we should get Good Reading, who win matches at times, rather than Tuesday's Bad Reading, who find ways to finish seconds out of 2. What we know is that Wolves will start the day above Reading in the Championship Table and finish the day above Reading - the question is, will it be by one point (a Royals win), 4 points (as it sits now, with a draw) or 7 points (from a Royals defeat)? A win could gain the Royals up to three places in the Table, while a loss might only cost them one place, but would give the Relegation Zone a chance to creep a bit closer - with Bristol City facing Charlton, the top of the relegation zone is likely to move up. Can Reading find their home form by Saturday and defeat another mid-table club?

Points System

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 3-1 Wolves (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score);
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Wolves and the result is Reading 14-1 Wolves (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 Wolves and the result is Reading 27-1 Wolves;
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 3-1 Wolves (HT: 2-0) [Home x-y Away format]
Williams
Cooper
Vydra

...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'...

What will Reading's percentage of possession be at the end of this match, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within five percent of the posted BBC percentage.

I would have used an attendance guess, but it seems the new BBC match report format no longer includes the match attendance, and I do want to stay with a BBC stat, rather than rely on a Twitter post. If anyone feels strongly that using an attendance figure (even off Twitter) offers an attractive option, please add a note and I'll reconsider; otherwise, I'll stay with shots/shots on target, saves, cards, time of shots, time of cards, etc. that are posted on the BBC site. There is no real shortage, but attendance is another option.

Best of luck to you and the Royals in their Championship campaign!

The club post the attendance figure at the top of the match report on their website, as well as at the bottom (which usually includes away supporters): http://www.readingfc.co.uk/fixtures-results/match-report/index.aspx?matchid=3895888

This is probably a reliable source.

It IS on the BBC, but it's now 'hidden' - see the match, e.g. last game http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35406517 and click on "Line-ups" ! :thumbsup:
