Reading travel down to Devon looking to bounce back after the disappointing result at Coventry on Saturday. Reading will be without the services of Andy Hughes, which may give the green light for Bobby Convey to show what he can do.

TEAM NEWS

Andy Hughes is defiantly ruled out of the game with a hip injury. Reading will also continue to be without Nicky Forster and Shaun Goater though both are making good progress.

Steve Coppell will either keep Paul Brooker on the left wing in Hughes's absence or give Bobby Convey the nod after looking impressive when coming on as sub in Saturday's defeat at Coventry City.

Plymouth are still without Hasney Aljofree, Marino Keith and Northern Ireland International, Tony Capaldi who is currently recovering from a broken leg.

Paul Wotton who scored Plymouth equaliser on Saturday is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench once more.
