Reading boss Steve Coppell brushed off the importance of the end of his side´s 33-game unbeaten league run as the Coca-Cola Championship leaders were shocked by plucky Luton on Friday night.The 3-2 defeat was the Royals´ first reverse since the opening day against Plymouth - and this despite them taking the lead inside 20 seconds of a match in which the visitors´ Kevin Doyle and the Hatters´ Rowan Vine each scored twice.Coppell said: "The significance of the result will only be told at the end of the season, but it will give others encouragement. We´ve delayed that encouragement for an awful long time, but it will certainly give encouragement to somebody."
