Brian McDermott has said that he will continue to be "fearless" in his approach to managing Reading.

The Royals are bottom of the Premier League table with only one win this season.

McDermott told Sky Sports News: "Three years ago I made a decision that I would be fearless in the way I conduct myself in this management lark and I have stuck to that.

"I was out with a friend of mine when I got the job and we had a conversation. I said 'I'm going to enjoy every single minute of this, I'm going to have no fear in each and every game'.

"I'm going to try and win games when it's a draw and I've stuck to that. I haven't gone into games with fear at any single moment."

Reading face the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City tomorrow.
