Reading started the season brightly. However, injury to the three strikers, Dave Kitson, Nicky Forster and Shaun Goater, meant that the goals dried up and they slipped down the league. For much of the season Ivar Ingimarsson, a centre back, was the club's main source of goals. However, Kitson's return, coupled with the signings of veterans and former England internationals Les Ferdinand and Martin Keown meant that the club broke a run of 11 league games without a win against West Ham. Reading won 3–1, with a Dave Kitson hat-trick. Reading just missed out on a playoff spot on the last day of the season, losing 3–1 to Wigan. Dave Kitson was the club's top scorer, with 19 goals.
