Doncaster Rvs. face a trip to Reading at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 15 out of 19 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2008, the Royals carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
