Stacey was in the process of evolving into a right back when he left, he wasn’t playing on the wing but was no where ready to be a starting full back. I believe he also chose to leave, turning down a contract to stay because he knew he needed to get games and wouldn’t be a starter for us. In, I thi...

If anything, it's surely more beneficial for Kia to have us in the Prem?

Local reporter down there saying there haven't been transfer talks but Mattos has asked every club what players have dual EU citizenship.

All we want is a sensible DoF, who believes in detailed scouting, getting the right sort of person as well as player, and believes in improving recruits through coaching. They can spend big if they need, but within these principles. This guy may be a good fit; we know nothing about him to judge eit...

Sutekh He’s apparently going act as an “executive” for Reading, Roeslaere and the 2 clubs in China owned by Mr Yongge

I'm between distinctly underwhelmed and Ian Royal. The latter seems a bit harsh.

We've had 3 trialist recently - Azeez, Baldé and Caetano. The latter two looked very good.

First half we were the better team. Second half lucky goal then a Reading melt down. Gomes goes nuts with subs and total and utter meltdown. Why change shape when we were looking dangerous? Puscas should have scored 2. One on one and last shot of the game. Joao shocked me. Some good work but some l...

I'm not going to panic after that, it's one of those days. Looked like two decent teams, both pretty cohesive in the first half but individual talent made us look more likely to breakthrough - we had, if I recall all right, 3 chances we could and on another day would have scored from. Second half th...

Agreed. Wish we'd got him in instead when Clarke joined.

We're aware the transfer window is closed I assume ? Am I right in thinking there is nothing to say we can't sign him. Only that he will not be able to play for the first team? We can’t register him as a first team player, would have to be Academy or youth contract. The article doesn’t give his age...

Hughton seems to be the name going around. The Huddersfield guys I was down the pub with say he's apparently been talking to their owner.

Oh, they're still at the club? I thought they'd oxf*rd died the way you lot keep harping on.
