All hail Marek Matejovsky! The saviour of a dying season. The man who put faith back into the fans. The player that provides the little spark to ignite Reading's motionless engine. The King of Madejski, well for the last two games at least.
The Czech Republic international has already showed more flare and creativity than any other centre midfielder this term and his quality is vital if Reading are going to have a somewhat successful season.
He wasn't favoured by Brendan Rodgers to begin with and injury prevented him having an active influence, but now he's narrowing back to full match fitness his impact will become even more significant.
Against Leicester City, a game that Reading should have never had lost, he was instrumental to everything good the Royals did and fully deserved his man of the match award. It just shows what a little bit of class can do and how it can have a positive impact on the rest of the team.
Suddenly confidence is high and the win at Coventry was no accident. Just a fantastic pass can jeer up the team and especially a crowd. He's single-handedly lifted morale and installed supporters faith back into the team.
He is definitely the most naturally gifted player in the current squad and makes much of the squad look like dirty old average Sunday league players. And after some of the performances this season, you would have thought that was the case.
As reported in the local evening paper recently, Matejovsky expressed his desire to stay with the club and after the way he was treated earlier on in the season, its great that a player of his magnitude shows his commitment to the club.
Marek is definitely the Rolls Royce of Reading FC and an extended run in the team is a must.
Rodgers may just have to thank Matejovsky for saving his job.
