After their Saturday FA Cup heroics, Reading FC must gather itself for a Tuesday evening Championship match against a visiting Rotherham United club who sit 22nd in the Championship Table, at the top of the Relegation Zone, six points from safety. One might expect a club who could defeat an all but full strength West Brom Premier League side 3-1 should be heavy favorites over a relegation-level Championship club, but this is the Royals, who can not only defeat teams well above them in the football ladder, but lose to those well below them. Rotherham's new boss, Neil Warnock, is well known to the Reading fans from his past work at Leeds, Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Crystal Palace and QPR. But he is looking for his first win with his new club, having already sampled a draw and a loss. Over their last 5 matches, Rotherham have scored 4 goal and conceded 10, for two draws and three losses. Can Reading take their Cup momentum on into this Championship clash? Make your predictions!

Points System

10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Rotherham and the result is Reading 3-1 Rotherham (includes an exact draw prediction; draw result & correct score);
7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-0 Rotherham and the result is Reading 4-1 Rotherham (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 Rotherham and the result is Reading 5-1 Rotherham;
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 Rotherham (HT: 1-0) [Home x-y Away format]
Williams
Cooper
Vydra

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

What will be the total number of Reading shots on target, according to the BBC stats? Credit will be given for a prediction within two of the posted BBC statistic.

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

I'm not quite as confident as RoyalJoe, but I do expect some carry-out from the FA Cup.

Reading 3-0 Rotherham (2-0)
Vydra
Kermorgant (subject to change pending final line-ups)
McShane (now that the back line have been reminded that they are permitted to score... :O ;) )

9 shots on target.
