First team coach Wally Downes says the Royals have to put 100% of their energy into winning at Derby next week.

Our 1-0 home defeat to Tottenham sees us slip into the bottom three, and we have to get a positive result at Pride Park next Sunday.

Wally said, "We know what we've got to do, we've got to go to Derby and win. The time for looking at other results is gone, we just have to prepare this week to win.

"All of our focus will be on that. We will go with our normal plan to win, not gung-ho.

"It's critical we just go there and win. 1-0 would do us. More goals would be terrific, but we just need to win."

On the Spurs game he said, "They were very, very good first 20 minutes. We improved after that but they're a difficult side to play against. They're in a false position, they're a good side."
