THis Talk of not throwing players in at the deep end or them not ‘being ready’ is ridiculous. McIntyre is not 17. He’s 21. He is more than old enough, big enough, good enough. Since he made his debut he has looked at home. Just stick him in the team and let him play ! Rino and Olise pretty much too...

Whilst I agree we need to utilise the academy. We need to be careful. Cast your mind back to the first 4/5 games of this season and the youngsters were all given a chance in the team. They simply could not cut it. It’s a bloody tough division. You can’t just offload all the high earners. It’s a bala...

I want to be measured and reasonable after getting beaten by a good team who are third in the league. But FFS, we didn't even make it hard for them. We didn't make them prove why they're up there. I'm sick of supporting a team who are easy to play against. I'm sick of supporting a club defined by m...

Really not sure how you score these snowy.

How did you get more points than myself for example, even though I got the HT score correct and closer to the FT score than you mate?

All style and no substance. It’s been our problem for a number of years. Teams like Derby and Stoke didnt play particularly well - did what they had to do to get the points.

Oh what I’d give to grind out wins like how Brian McDermott used to have his squads playing.

Poor to not see that game out. Negative tactics going 4-5-1 against a team lower than us at home. Stoke had 4 CB’s out there and expected us to take the game to them. Which we did for a while with João driving at them. Puscas lacked service when on, I think he needs a 4-4-2 with out and out wingers ...

Disappointing but sod it. Reading FC are back!

A start today for Obita...

NewCorkSeth How long has Sweet Caroline been our kick off song and, more importantly, why?

Not sure why, since the McDermott days I think 2012ish? It’s quite random.

In contrast Stoke have sung Delilah for decades, as long as I can remember anyway.

Completely agree with the OP. Aside from Charlie Adam he’s the only player with a decent left foot at the football club. His performances this season should warrant a new 1yr deal. With Blackett leaving too that will leave us with Richards, another player who doesn’t look like he would last a full c...

Jonathan Low reporting that Michael Gilkes and Lucas Boye both tested positive and are staying away from training at Bearwood as a precaution.

He says that’s the reason behind the Spurs game being scrapped.

Wishing them both a speedy recovery.

Just a thought about the cancelled Spurs game yesterday - do you think the club got a tip off about the failed test at Norwich (who played spurs on Friday)? Apparently we play Portsmouth today according to BBC Berks reporter. The Spurs game was cancelled because Norwich and Spurs agreed to play the...

I think it’s simpler than that. You just use the concourses as entry and exit routes, people just walk straight through. Only exception would be use of the toilets but with 1500 people per stand you’d not have much queueing So no food / drink on a matchday? I don’t buy that crap, but would it reall...

There are some additionals to take into account - guessing quite a few people are families, hence dont need to social distance if live together. Also likely to be some sort of bubbles by then. Also its outside, so apparently lesser risk of catching it. And could be looked at in local levels of infe...
