What I don’t understand is why we don’t appear to have offered Richards a new contract. Surely it should have been a priority? Could be that we know he wants at least £xx and because of ffp we haven't been able to give him that, so have been looking into ways around it before we can actually offer ...

Hound JLow reminds me there was no East either along with Watson.

Those two surely on their way unless injured.

Perhaps protected in case required as cover. There was a balance of experience and youth on Saturday.

Some of these young players are the future. Getting them drilled into becoming 1st teamers is all part of the master plan.

Sutekh Just a reminder as well, it’s a 12pm (noon) kick off due to the BT Sport coverage. If you are not in the Berkshire area and can’t watch the game then iFollow will provide audio only commentary for £2.50.

No need to pay today. BBC Berks is available on the internet today no restrictions.

Ian, you bring pedantry to a new level

Made the most saves in 2007 Premier League season - 139.

Win is a win. Fine margins. Almost safe from relegation. That makes a change with 23 games still to go.

Laurent is playing far higher up the pitch now Swift is back. Think Laurent is just making his usual runs up the pitch. Doesn't look like a positional shift. Swift always has licence to roam. Nah. Swift drops deep allowing the interchange. With others playing at 10 we are far more static in formati...

Are Reading a one man team.

Snowflake Royal How the oxf*rd does he make it look so easy.

Shocking defending.

PremAddict Overall uninspiring. Looks like even BBC Berks couldn't bother to show up.

Not allowed to travel.

Fake news !!! - they are there and available to hear on the audio purchase only- just not available on the video.

Same commentary as Radio Berkshire

Watching the game with no commentary and not missing the inane stuff that Tim and Mick come out with. Dreary typical mid-table type of Championship game (although not as dreary as that play-off final) where nothing much happens. We could get something out of this if somebody (where are you McCleary...

Having Swift back makes such a difference. Now need Meite back.

bcubed Their commentator -
Reading taking their time though
and maybe too many touches?

How often have we said that?

Needle Spurs got a bye when Orient couldn’t field a team.

Would the same apply or was that just because subsequent rounds of the league cup were much sooner?

Good point. There's no replays scheduled this season. Be a bonus if we got a bye.

Might even reach the final.
