Freedman keen to emulate Royals

Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman wants his side to follow the example set by Reading.

The Royals are going back up to the Premier League as champions, but a youthful Palace outfit still managed to hold them to a 2-2 draw on Saturday. "You had one team that's going to the Premier League and one that aspires to," said Freedman. "Looking back over the game you remember Reading had one chance in the second half and they took it - and we have to learn from things like that. "We want to be where Reading are."
