Nigel Adkins believes there were signs in a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City that Reading have plenty to be positive about.
Demands
On the Royals' bid to bounce back into the big time at the first time of asking, Adkins added: "We have got a lot of players who have played in the Championship. We know the demands of Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday, the mental side of it.
"You have got to grind out your results, every game is going to be tough, but we are looking forward to it because a lot of players here have been in the situation to go up.
"There is a lot of positivity about the place. On the training ground the players are certainly in a positive mind set and everyone wants to be in and is looking forward to the future."
