After changing well over half the team Reading ended up being comfortably beaten 2 - 0 by last years FA Cup finalists.
I know Coppell wants promotion back the Premier League more than anything else but a Cup run would be good. Cardiff's reward in yesterday's 4th round draw was to earn a home tie against Arsenal.
The Royals went down to two second half goals at Ninian Park to Ross McCormack and Joe Ledley.
