Reading boss Steve Coppell was full of praise for scorer Dave Kitson after yesterday's 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Coppell said: "Dave has some really good qualities I admire. He's a big bloke but very adept on the ground. He does not mind on which foot the ball comes to him.

"He's good in the air, a good target man. There is a lot to his game. I've four really good strikers and he gives me something the other three cannot."
