Reading manager Brian McDermott said he will take any kind of win against Southampton after his team again was on the wrong end of a thrilling match against Manchester United.
Reading are second bottom having picked up a mere nine points from 15 matches, while Southampton are a place above them on 12 points.
McDermott just wants his side to pick up three points in any manner possible against the Saints in a bottom-of-the-table clash at St Mary's on Saturday.
"The players, the manager, the staff, the fans and my mum would take any type of win," McDermott said.
"The Man Utd match (which they lost 4-3) was great for our fans and we've had some fantastic games at Madejski Stadium with lots of goals which is really entertaining, but our fans want results as well. That's what we're in the business for.
"It's possible to take satisfaction from matching a team like Manchester United - look at the finances and budgets we're up against. But myself and the players want to win.
"In the dressing room after Man Utd we didn't say we 'well we scored three goals, we said we lost the game.' There was satisfaction after we beat Everton.
"I'm doing the best I possibly can every day, as are the players. The fans are staying with us, which is really important. We're trying to win games.
"I'm absolutely 100 percent behind the players that we have, I know they can do it, they've proved it in the past. We just need a little change, a little bit of something that can make the difference. Then it will come, I'm convinced about it.
"Not winning is embarrassing and you want to win for the fans and that's what we're trying to do. The best feeling in the world is when you go to your supporters at the end of an away game having won."
Reading forward Pavel Pogrebnyak is a doubt, while goalkeeper Alex McCarthy remains on the sidelines.
Southampton will assess Gaston Ramires after the playmaker had to go to Uruguay for family reasons. "Gaston had to go back (to Uruguay) on Sunday for compassionate reasons, but he is back with us and he will be in training tomorrow (Friday)," Adkins said.
"We will assess where he is and I will have a good conversation with him, but I am sure he will want to play at the weekend. He has been training in Uruguay and we have kept an eye on that."
