Players with 25 or more appearances
[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ Soccerbase incorrectly credits Jack Mills with two appearances against Hull City and Charlton Athletic on 23 and 27 August 2011 respectively, that should instead be attributed to Joseph Mills as confirmed by the official match reports on the Reading website.[20][21]
