Reading FC: McShane hoping for better summer preparation

Paul McShane thinks a disjointed summer last year contributed to the poor season.

After play-off final defeat at the end of last year, McShane thinks the squad were already on the back foot going into the 2017-18 season.

β€œThe last summer was quite difficult,” McShane told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Berkshire’s Tim Dellor. β€œPeople got a bit drained I think.

β€œWe started the season OK, performances were decent, but we weren’t getting the results.

β€œI think that was a big blow to people’s mentalities.”

And McShane is hoping players with the right β€˜mentality’ come into the club during the transfer window.

β€œIt’s about bringing in the right characters for the team, bringing in winners, people with hunger.

β€œI think that’s more than half the battle.”
