Reading management are comfortable with the quality of their squad as they return to the Premier League.

Director of football Nicky Hammond will work hand in hand with manager Brian McDermott as the club attempt to develop on the pitch, and he too is expecting evolution rather than revolution.

He told Sky Sports: "There are two games to go and we are top, and we want to stay there. In the first instance, that's the most important thing.

"Then we will sit down over the next couple of days and start to look at the numbers and plan going forward.

"But it will be the Reading way. We always do it in a sensible fashion, not cavalier.

"In my conversations with Anton over the last number of weeks, I don't anticipate that will change too much, really."
