Ruben Selles’ aspect at the moment are solely three factors above the relegation zone, with 11 matches left to play.
They've dropped three locations within the league desk and at the moment sit in nineteenth place, with a three-point lead over Cheltenham in twenty first and a five-point lead over Port Vale in twenty second.

SELL BEFORE WE DAI STATEMENT: LATEST EFL PUNISHMENT
It's clear that Reading’s points are completely right down to Dai Yongge, so clearly it makes full sense to punish the followers, workers and gamers of Reading Soccer Membership with additional sporting sanctions – particularly for an infringement that gives no sporting benefit.
Given the continuing gross sales talks at Reading, the timing of at this time’s punishment is spectacular. Imposing a factors penalty which will increase our possibilities of relegation and subsequently decreases the prospect of our membership being bought is totally misguided. The EFL claims to be on the aspect of the followers, as a substitute – but once more – they disproportionately punish those that care probably the most over those that care the least.
To cite EFL Chairman Ricky Parry in The Athletic final month “Fining Dai Yongge is of no use at all”, so the EFL’s resolution to wonderful Dai Yongge £100,000 is one other instance of the league’s clear and coherent management.
They won't obtain a penny from Dai Yongge, they've already taken our factors they usually needed to take extra. The followers, gamers and staff of Reading Soccer Membership deserve higher.
For Reading Soccer Membership this would be the 18th level deducted by the EFL. Whereas we perceive that the league has a duty to its members and Dai Yongge is clearly operating the membership with impunity, no membership within the EFL is asking for an additional membership killed.
The message being despatched is that the league cares extra about its rulebook than the well being and historical past of the soccer golf equipment that play in it. It's more and more clear that an efficient, empowered and impartial regulator is required greater than ever.
Ending on a constructive observe, we should now undertake the siege mentality that so many soccer golf equipment have been pressured to take. Our gamers will struggle to maintain us on this league. Our followers will roar them on. Our backroom workers will hold the lights on.
There will probably be some chat about tennis balls and pitch invasions, however in contrast to the EFL, we don’t consider factors deductions clear up something.
The London protest planning is again on. Till then, our only type of protest will probably be filling the stadium, filling away ends and filling the gamers, coaches and workers with the assumption that The Nice Escape is on and each little factor is gonna be alright.
