Goal Statistics

Reading have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 11 consecutive League One games. Their PG of 1.5 against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday suggests that run is likely to continue.

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Doncaster Rovers fans, as should a 6 League One matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
