Boss Jim Magilton says there has been an overreaction to Town's poor start to the season. The Blues have taken only three points from their first four games having made eight new signings during the summer.

Magilton said: "There has been widespread pandemonium and a total overreaction to what we have done this year.

"We obviously haven't started as well as we would have liked and no one has been more critical of the players than me.

"So we have calmed everyone down during this break and got everyone focused on the task in hand which is to beat Reading."

The Blues boss hopes to bring in one or perhaps two loanees prior to Saturday's game with the Royals as he looks to add a left winger and a central defender to his squad.
