Nigel Adkins pays tribute to Reading attackers

Reading manager Nigel Adkins has lavished his attacking players with praise following the 3-2 victory over Millwall on Tuesday night.

A brace from Simon Cox and a Nick Blackman penalty guided the Royals to three more points in the Championship, and Adkins admits that the form his side have shown in the final third of the pitch has been pleasing.

"We've got players who just want to score goals," the Reading boss told members of the media. "You can see that everywhere.

"Glenn Murray got a brace at the weekend, Simon Cox got two tonight. We've got a huge attacking threat at this football club and not just in one area, which is really pleasing.

"That's four wins on the spin now. The spirit is great, and we've got a really good attacking prowess about us at the moment."

The win has taken Reading up to sixth in the Championship.
