Your support makes all the difference.Brian McDermott, the Reading manager, insists Danny Guthrie still has a future at the club if he shows the correct attitude.
Guthrie, who has played just six matches since his free transfer from Newcastle, refused to participate in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat at Sunderland because his "head just wasn't right".
"Let's see where we are in a couple of days' time and go from there," McDermott said. "There's always a way back."
