    The Royals' 4-1 win at Bristol City was their fifth match in 14 days and Dillon told BBC Radio Berkshire the fixtures had taken their toll on the team. </p>

    He said: &quot;Physically they're tired, but mentally even more so. </p>

    &quot;At least we don't have a game until next Saturday - that's normal in any other country in the world, apart from England.&quot; </p>

    He added: &quot;We weren't home till 3.30am after the Burnley game [on Tuesday].&quot; </p>

    Despite having a shorter journey on Saturday, travelling down the M4 from Reading to Bristol, Dillon said even that was not a problem-free journey. </p>

    &quot;We travelled up on the day of the game for the first time in many years and we were late. </p>

    &quot;The coach driver got lost on the way to the stadium - we thought it was Halloween and they were winding us up. </p>

    &quot;Liam Rosenior, who played for Bristol City for quite a long time, took us completely the wrong way and got us lost.&quot;

    Wouldn`t be complaining if they were in the Champions League.
