Reading v QPR 20MAR21 1-1 FT 12th/50pts

You know this means he will play every game for Scotland, then come back shattered and need a rest for 2 weeks. 

Austin's signing in January has really helped Dykes and they look a good combination. Neither can play the lone striker role but Charlie is constantly encouraging Dykes and telling him what position to take up. Dykes is doing the donkey work that Austin's legs no longer let him do. Austin is now more of a goal poacher and his best work is always in the box.

We know Austin will be replaced after 70 minutes and I could see Warburton putting Willock up front with Dykes to catch Reading on the break as they have to come forward.

The issue for us will remain our defending down the flanks.
