Another decent chance from good build up play. Ritchie shoots straight at the keeper.

2 subs on the hour mark (clearly pre-planned because Randell was playing well I thought.

MOM and Garcia on for Ritchie and Randell.

Slightly against the grain but I think we've created a fair bit here. Certainly more than average. Plenty of touches in the opposition box but opportunities squandered by O'Connor and especially Kelvin E.

Sutekh Was that another penalty denied?

The proverbial "thats a foul anywhere else on the pitch"

Another great chance for Kelvin E squandered.

How do you “log in to RoyalsTV”?? I can log into the site. But there is no “watch live” anywhere. Just “buy now”. I’ve bloody bought. Very top right once you click on Royals TV from the main site. It will say log in assuming you are registered with Royals TV. Yeah I have been watching live games on...

Our build up play has been decent but twice Kelvin E's first touch has been awful when in a good position.

Back to the game. Sucker punch goal conceded after we'd created 2 very good opportunities

Anyone have any idea how to use the live video match pass now? They’ve changed the website and I just seem to be going around in circles. Click on Royals TV from the menu. Log in and then click "watch Match" (or something like that). You’d think. Can I get advice from someone who knows? I...

Sutekh I’d suggest it’s a 5-3-2

Pereira
Abrefa Dorset Danny Des Randell
Savage Wing Ritchie
Doyle WiFi

Rino on bench

More likely a back 4 with Dorsett at Left Back I'd have thought.

No Lane or DK in the match day squad. Injuries I assume.

This salary cap crap has been bad for sport in the US. The strongest player’s union is Major League Baseball’s and they’ve been fighting against it tooth and nail for years. Ask who wants it? It’s the millionaire/billionaire owners. It’s not about competitive balance (which it’s absolutely not achi...

Agreed. Exceptionally unprofessional, particularly from such an experienced, senior, player. Gained us no advantage whatsoever by doing it. I suspect Leam will file it under the awful phrase of “game management” which he was complaining about a lack of after the Carlisle defeat. It’s the modern gam...

Why on earth did Ritchie decide to pick up his fourth yellow card of the season for what was, basically, pissing about with the ball? If I was Richardson, I'd have been fuming with that. It was fully deserved and I mean seriously Ritchie, wtf? Agreed. Exceptionally unprofessional, particularly from...

Dare I say it but a lot of times tonight that looked like a version of Selles’ 4-2-2-2. Lane played centrally alongside Doyle when we had the ball or we pressed them at the back. DK played more like a foil for Kelvin E than a winger. From what I’ve seen Kelvin E wins a fair bit in the air but we nev...

Very interesting. Do feel that RC wanted to change manager when he took over but, because NH did so well last season, didn't feel he could. He then probably didn't give him as much backroom support as he could have (or NH didn't ask for it?) resulting in NH not doing as well this season and resulti...

Reading were sold in the middle on May. As much as I hate Dai, the poor recruitment over the summer was not down to him. Planning for recruitment will be ongoing from January. We couldn't even try to renew contracts of existing players until about June thanks to Dai's efforts. Had he sold 6 months ...

Isn't Josh Bowen responsible for this department at Reading FC....? Yes - but I don't think any of the players have been out longer than anticipated apart from maybe O'Conner. All these muscle injuries/fatigue have been caused at least partly by Hunt's training regime which he admitted himself was ...
