Hull to keep up Championship momentum with Reading win

Speaking following the game, Akpom said: “I love scoring goals and have been practising as hard as I could in training to look at different ways of scoring goals.

“I have been practising with the coaches every day and the main thing is to work hard and don’t worry about the last game, but the next game.

“Being in and out of the team doesn’t affect me as you have to stay on your toes and keep working hard and be hungry. If I am not playing, there’s another good player who is going to fill in for me,” continued.

“It’s good for me to get that competitive streak in me and show the gaffer why I should be playing every week and work hard in training to show him that.

“There’s three good forwards and spots up for grabs. No-one is comfortable and it’s good for the team, fans and everyone to see all the strikers working as hard as they can to get that starting spot.”

Reading response needed

The away side have lost three consecutive clashes in the league, though have a task on their hands against a tough Tigers team, with attacker Nick Blackman offered at 6/4 in the anytime market.

Currently without a manager, they lack clear direction and Matej Vydra is the only player to have scored in their last three matches. The on loan Watford striker is 3/1 in the anytime market, while prior to that Lucas Piazon opened the scoring in their 2-1 win over Bolton and is 9/1 to repeat that.
