Town striker Jon Stead says this week is vital for Town, if they are to keep any remaining chances of a top six finish alive.
Stead: "With some of the other clubs above us winning, it was a massive result for us because it keeps us in there fighting and we've now got a big week in front of us with two vital home games, starting with Burnley on Tuesday night.
"We need six points from those two matches and if we can do that, it's going to set us up for the final run in.
"When I hit it, it was one of those that you don't really feel because you catch it that sweet. I looked around as I landed on the floor, saw the net moving and it was a fantastic feeling.
"I've had two great goals against Reading this season but that one is right up there with the best I have ever scored. It's an important goal, that's what makes it extra special.
"I spoke to their 'keeper after the game and he said he didn't see it after it landed on my foot so that shows how well I caught it."
