Reading can compete with anyone in league - Selles

After nine games Reading are 17th in League One with 13 points

Reading boss Ruben Selles says his side believes they can "compete with any team" in League One this season.

The Royals have started the campaign with some decent results at home but have struggled with their away form and are yet to pick up a league win on the road.

They have won four of their five matches at the Select Car Leasing Stadium has, scoring nine goals and conceding just three.

"The team has confidence that we can compete with any team in the league," Selles told BBC Radio Berkshire.

"We need to continue working and putting in the performances we have been at home, we feel comfortable there and we need to be very sure we perform as we have there so far to make sure we keep winning.

"We would like to have better results away though, but now we have lots of fixtures coming up so we will take it game by game, it’s going to be key with how we manage it."

Selles' side next take on Crawley Town at home on Saturday, following a defeat at Rotherham before the international break.

It is the first of four games in the next fortnight.

There are still problems at the club off the pitch, with a takeover still not completed.

However, they remain in exclusive talks with an unnamed potential buyer.
