Whilst England stumble around in Europe, nothing much is happening back in England. Whilst the government like to bury bad news under other bigger stories, Reading are using the poor England performance to quietly announce good news. Following on from Steve Coppell, Dave Kitson has signed a new 3 year deal.
Of the three first team strikers that caused havoc in Championship defences last season, I thought Kitson would perform the best in the Premiership. However a nasty tackle by Chris Riggott put paid to that and half Kitson’s season. Luckily both Doyle and Lita have stepped up to Premiership level and we haven’t missed him too much.
Kitson remains the least known of the strikers simply because he has played so few games in the Mediaship (The Sky Premier Media Obsessed League), to the extent that the media thought he was a reserve player when he was brought in by Coppell for the Man United cup games. He may well be our secret weapon next season and provide us plenty of goals.
