"I watched Reading-Wigan and on Tuesday I went to watch Reading v Brighton and they did a great job; they were concentrating on getting three points in the Championship.
"I'm not sure exactly what Steve Clarke is going to do because he has used many different players in a similar structure of the team.
"It's not a situation under my control. What's important is that we must have the responsibility to deal with whatever Reading is going to do.
"This is the Championship and you must always be ready to compete. Reading can surprise us if we're not totally ready."

“This weekend is going to be a juggling act for me as a manager. It’s a little unusual, it’s a situation you get maybe once a year with an Easter weekend if you’re unfortunate with how the fixture falls. For the supporters though, they can turn up, get to the game and support the team that’s selected on the pitch.”
“You can tell by the team selection the other night there were one or two knocks, bumps and bruises that affected us from Bradford away. But we adapted very well to it, the only disappointing thing was maybe that Juri Travner who would have played left back was also injured. He’s waited patiently for a long time for his chance, he’s also picked up a little knock. I’m hopeful he’ll be available or the weekend but not confident.”
Injuries .
Watford. Watford will make late decisions over the fitness of top scorer Odion Ighalo and Almen Abdi ahead of tomorrow’s Championship clash with Reading at Vicarage Road.
The Nigerian striker was absent from Saturday’s draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers with a hamstring injury and, while he hasn’t trained this week, he will undergo a late fitness test before the game.
Almen Abdi limped off against Wolves with a hamstring injury and the Hornets will make a late decision on the Swiss maestro’s fitness.
