Beattie sessions 'paying off' for Royals' Marriott
Reading boss Leam Richardson jokes that Jack Marriott could score every 40 minutes and praises the striker's "hard work".
Reading manager Leam Richardson praised forwards James Beattie and Jamie Reid, as well as young Jacob Brown, for their contributions to the team's success in League One this season. Beattie, the top-scorer with eight goals in six league matches, has impressed Richardson with his hard work and strong connection with first-team coach.
Richardson hopes to see Marriott's goal-scoring rate improve to once every 40 minutes, which would put him ahead of the competition. The team will face a Wycombe Wanderers side featuring former Royals forward Jayden Wareham, who Richardson believes will pose a challenge due to his quality. Reading currently sits one point behind ninth-placed Reading after winning their last two league matches.
