ROYALS IN ED START

DAVE EDWARDS reckons his Championship acumen can help Reading challenge for a place in the Premier League. The midfielder (left), 31, joined last season’s play-off final losers from Wolves in a £1million deal last month. The Wales ace, set to make his full Royals debut against Brentford today, said: “Most of my career has been in the Championship and I know how tough it is. “There are games when a little bit of experience and know-how will get you over the line, and I believe I will bring that.”
