Especially with Keane coming in. Otherwise, I'm sure there is a decent chance a loan player would pick up an injury eventually. I really don't understand why MOM is still here. He adds absolutely nothing, and we've brought in someone better. Because we might not be able to under the terms of the lo...

There was something on Twitter that said Brighton won't take MOM back unless they have somewhere else to send him, otherwise he stays with us. Not sure if this is the best situation for the player

could do with a refresh after our recent signings (though perhaps wait until the end of the window?)

This chap's a loan until the end of the season so isn't really blocking the pathway of our Academy products and is likely to be beneficial to them as it means they can go out on loan for 6 months to gain experience. If the do well then there's every chance they could be our RB next season

Oxford United have dropped their interest in Charlie Savage and won’t be making a fresh bid at this stage as the Royals asking price is £1.5m.

On Tuesday 8th placed Stevenage (37 points) can climb into 6th place with a home win over 5th placed Bolton Wanderers (42 points). Would favour a draw to keep 6th place locked at 39 points and therefore retain Reading’s 4 point gap to the PO places and keep Bolton in check within those places. Fini...

Ramy the journo saying "none of that's true, lies all lies" on Twitter... fighting talk?

We're at home on Saturday and it is Louisiana Day so you'd expect the owners and executive staff to make an appearance at the Stadium (especially if UK-based) Perhaps any Nobbers going to the game can take part in a game of "Where's Joey?" (Unfortunately I doubt he'll make it easy for us b...

What does Brogue gain from a post like this?

Perhaps it is a valid question as I'm sure when we did signings in the summer JJ was either pictured or quoted in the player interview. He's not done this with Keane, Randell Williams or Rino...

EXCLUSIVE - The Reading Chronicle understands that despite recent reports Reading have 'moved on' from signing Ricardo Santos from Swansea. This comes as Swans manager Vitor Matos said the deal was 'still on'. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/25775403.reading-fc-moved-on-swansea-defender/ *...

Randell Williams - When Richardson was asked about his absence after the 3-1 defeat, he confirmed that the winger was injured and was "not sure yet" as to the length of time for recovery. https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/25775116.reading-fc-winger-randell-williams-confirmed-injured/

Royals and Racers

Royals and Racers Michail Antonio signs for Wycombe Wanderers

Sorry could be a stupid windup

Is that from Twitter? Someone's mocked Antonio up in a Wycombe using Ai (the club badge is mangled if you zoom in)

Back to Will Keane - he got about 25 minutes yesterday. How did he look? Where did he play and was there any noticeable tactical difference when he was on?

Huddersfield have sacked Lee Grant as manager.

Hendo Wasn't Grabban suffering really badly with crohn's while he was with us?

Not sure but do recall that Chris Martin was suffering with something similar when he was with us (but only disclosed after he'd left)
