Reading midfielder Hal Robson-Kanu insists the battle against the drop is not over.
The decision to replace Brian McDermott with Nigel Adkins failed to yield an immediate upturn in results as the Royals were hammered 4-1 at Arsenal in the new manager's first game.
But Robson-Kanu told the club website: "The season doesn't end at 31 games, it ends at 38.
"We need to make the most of every single one, and that starts on Saturday."
