Reading FC: Gomes preparing for tough run in after Stoke draw

Royals boss Jose Gomes knows his side are in for a tricky end to the season.

Despite moving a point clear of the relegation zone after the draw at Stoke, boss Jose Gomes is plotting a successful path away from danger after the international break.

"The manager's head never stops," Gomes told BBC Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor. "We are always thinking, and thinking, and thinking about which solutions we can find to perform well."

And Gomes thinks the sooner the Stoke draw is forgotten the better.

"I didn't like the game, it wasn't a beautiful game.

"Even if nobody touched it the ball moved."
