Schumacher Johnston Reading

New boss Steven Schumacher make four changes to his first starting line-up as he gets his Wanderers’ reign under way at Reading.

January recruit Alex Murphy gets a first start after a substitute's appearance in the mid-week win over Northampton, with the fit-again Eoin Toal returning along with Josh Dacres-Cogley and Joel Randall as the Whites look for the win that could get them into the play-off places.

There is also a place in the squad for new loan signing Kion Etete as the striker starts on the bench as he builds back towards full match fitness.

Reading include Jayden Wareham in place of striker Sam Smith, who was sold to Wrexham on Friday, as one of two changes to their side as they seek to end a four-game winless league run. 

Wanderers: Southwood, Murphy, Thomason, Johnston, Sheehan, Adeboyejo, Dacres-Cogley, Forrester, Toal, Collins, Randall. Substitutes: Baxter, Jones, Morley, Schön, Osei-Tutu, McAtee, Etete.

Reading: Pereira, Craig, Dean, Knibbs, Savage, Wareham, Campbell, Bindon, Camara, Wing, Garcia. Substitutes: Button, Abrefa, Ehibhatiomhan, Rushesha, Kanu, Holzman, Sackey.

Referee: Gavin Ward
