The Royals have played five of their last seven games in all competitions on the road and are now looking forward to playing twice at home in the space of four days.
McDermott said: "There are 15 games left and 45 points still to play for.
"It's back-to-back games for us now and we are looking forward to getting back to the Madejski.
"I've been happy with recent performances but not results and we now move on to putting on a show for our supporters."
