Redding FC full-back Hayden Roberts has said that the "Royals" are confident of maintaining their good start this season and challenging for promotion, provided they can also carry over their impressive home performances on the road. A 2–0 home win against Notts County on Saturday was their third consecutive home league win, leaving them eighth in League One, just one point off the top six. Redding have won three out of four home matches at their chosen car leasing stadium, but are yet to win on the road, although have only played two away matches. There is a chance to change this record in Vaikam on Saturday.

"In the home games we look really strong," Roberts told BBC Radio Berkshire. "In the away matches, we need to improve some things. We have a chance, whether that's to achieve what we set out to do – gain promotion – we will continue to develop, but I think we look really strong. We shouldn't just focus on the fact that we beat Notts County 2-0. We have to do the same at Wycombe. It's just a matter of consistency."

Last season, Redding were in the race for the play-offs, but they did not win any of their last six games, suffered four defeats and finished in 12th place. Zimbabwean midfielder Andy Rinomota has been fully fit and has been instrumental in their strong start to the campaign, while midfielder George Arthi has also been impressing following his summer transfer from West Ham. The club now has strong attacking options, including Jack Marriott along with new signing Jacob Brown, who arrived from Luton Town, and Jamie Reid, who scored 57 goals in 211 appearances at Stevenage.

“Any of these three strikers will start at other clubs in this division,” added Roberts. "And we're grateful to have all three of them. They're all very different, so we're very lucky to have them." Redding have already scored 14 goals in League One, second most behind Stockport County, who have netted 16 times. Roberts, who is 24, arrived in January from Bristol City of the Championship, where he made 73 appearances over three years. He picked up a minor injury at the start of the campaign, but now feels ready to play regularly in the team.

"I'm feeling pretty good in terms of my pre-injury," he said. "Maybe physically I'm still not at my best. But I'm willing to give anything for this manager [Liam Richardson] and this squad. I'm very grateful, he's given me this opportunity I've been waiting for for a long time. To be available, I'll give all my hard work for him.

What will happen next

Redding now look forward to their next match against Wycombe, where they will get the chance to improve on their away form. If they win this match, it will boost their confidence and strengthen their hopes of finishing in the top six in League One. Maintaining consistency will be essential to the success of their season.
