Shane Long has now scored some 21 goals in all this season - including, that is, for both Reading and Ireland. A remarkable record if you think back two or three years ago, when a few of us were giving him stick rather as is suffering Church at the moment!

In the LEAGUE ALONE, Shane is currently on 17 goals. As the official club site says, if/when he gets three more he will be the first Reading player in a DECADE to hit the 20-goal mark in the league.

OK, what I'm getting at at this: there are 11 games left (league). How many do you think he'll get?

Vote in poll (just one voting option this time, so think before you decide!), see our CALENDAR if you want to consult what teams we're playing against, and add any comments you wish ...
Should be interesting reading!

I've gone with 30 plus, beacuse he didn't really have too many before Christmas, but now he's on form, I think he could easily be averaging more than one a game from here (he'd need about 1.5 goals a game though, right?)

I put 30+ but I think my brain reckons its mid-January as this years gone so fast so I'm probably being a bit ambitious if theres only 11 league matches left.

wow, you're an ambitious lot! Two hatricks would get him to 23 league goals, and there's be 9 other games. 7 goals in 9 games - difficult I think for the 30 mark.
But if it turns out like that I'd be delighted - and the team probably in play-off places !!!!

Today - 3rd April 2011 - he's on 20 league goals - and we've EIGHT league games left. Anyone fancy changing their poll prediction?

Here's the top ten Championship goalscorers at present:

1 Danny Graham 22 goals Watford
2 Shane Long 20 Reading
3 Grant Holt 19 Norwich City
4 Luciano Becchio 17 Leeds United
4 Scott Sinclair 17 Swansea City
6 Jay Bothroyd 16 Cardiff City
6 Max Gradel 16 Leeds United
8 Adel Taarabt 15 Queens Park Rangers
8 Billy Sharp 15 Doncaster Rovers
10 Steve Morison 14 Millwall


And something not generally seen - a run-down of when the first goal comes for both us and opposition, treating our last 20 games:
TIME OF 1ST GOAL (LAST 20 GAMES)

Mins : 10| 20| 30| 40| 50| 60| 70| 80| FT|

F: 1 2 4 2 2 0 0 2 2

A: 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 0 3

Voted for 27-29 as I would love to him to beat the 25/26 Cureton got about ten years ago. We've still got to play Derby again so that's guaranteed ad least another 2 and hopefully he can find another 5 against the likes of Coventry, Scunthorpe and Sheff Utd.
