Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (h)

Did any Reading player other than a defender win a header all game? We just looked like we got bullied off the ball too easily by a bigger and stronger team. If we'd looked a bit less knackered we might not have been so wasteful with our passing, and given them a bit more to think about. Not having...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2025/march/06/under-18s-defeat-liverpool-to-reach-/ The whole report nicked from the Liverpool Fc website match report. :D That's a fantastic achievement , and an massive advert for our academy, and what we do. Lets hope the 'potential new' owners are dialed in. The...

Re: Where the playing budget went under Dai

Lucas Boye - went on to play in La Liga - don't recall him ever starting for us, used sparingly as a sub, but on the brief glimpses thought he had talent. Reece Oxford - Played in Bundesliga - think I read he had some really bad form of long covid, then did an acl - and never came back from the comb...

Re: Confimred - Selles to Hull

Selles was always going to cash in on his position at Reading , regardless of the state of the club. That's what happens in Football ( and indeed many other career paths if you have ambition)

Club (Business) in higher league offering more money. Its a no brainer.

Re: Next manager

Can't blame Ruben for wanting to leave but to Hull? You'd think he'd be aiming higher than a club in an relegation scrap, owned by a Turkish Simon Cowell , who sacked off Liam Rosenior end of last season (after finishing 7th) , due to ' a difference of opinion on the team's style of football '....

Re: Rumour Fabio Tavares

Logically it means they would have been prepared to let him go but as he didn’t leave they are happy to still have him. Which makes sense as it would be a bit cruel,to say they are disappointed they weren’t able to ship him out… Or they were trying to loan him out and it's PR to make the player mor...

Re: Potential New Owners

Looks like the only way this tool can be got rid of, referencing the Cheltenham site, is to ban him/her/. Clearly lacking enough common sense to take the hint & bore off.

Re: Osho - best crosser of the ball at the club. Discuss.

John Smith
Pepe the Horseman Tyler Blackett is the best crosser of the ball at the club.

Is the correct answer. He’s also our best player.


Its just a shame he switches off into ' ball watching mode' , too often

Re: GOMES OUT!

You live and die by your results and ultimately ours have been poor. More than that, the tactical naivety of the last few games did it for me. A good talker and a handsome charmer, but as in business, those types tend to come unstuck if there's no substance... We have the squad, now we need a high ...
