Re: January shopping list

Someone on the radio suggested we should shop for a pacy centre back, and if we’re looking to build a team for the future, not just thinking about the rest of this season, that’s a fair shout.

Re: January shopping list

We shouldn’t panic buy, but as has been pointed out we need to start putting together a strong squad now for a project that might still take a year or two. Besides which, it’s so tight that most of the clubs in the league would get sucked down to the bottom with a run of only a few bad games. A stro...

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

It’s all speculation, isnt it? But we all know how much Dai likes to gamble, so I still think they’ve persuaded him not to take a scheduled payment now in return for the possibility of a bigger reward if we get promoted. Couhig’s never made a secret of the fact that he doesn’t have bottomless pocket...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Where does a Viking come into it? Place-names with the ‘-ingas’ element are usually amongst the earliest Anglo-Saxon names, I thought. Anyway, the earliest attested written form of the name (from 871) has an a in it (Readingum).

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

In a huge fan of the academy - but it has to pay its way. This year it hasn’t. Two Kelvins only Academy players that have featured regularly and they came through years ago. And they are borderline first 11. But we also have to recognise that we’ve raided the academy heavily in the last few seasons...

Re: You can’t say I didn’t warn you!

Do we know he's missed a payment? Perhaps this was by agreement? Defer payment now, freeing up money for the club in the short term, with the promise of more profits for Dai in the future?

Re: Reading hit with winding-up petition by former chief executive

There was a segment on Radio Berks with Kieran Maguire tonight. Basically, don’t lose any sleep over this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up settling out of court.

Re: Top winger individual performances

Sutekh +1 Gilkes in several games incl. the Simod final.

McKeever v Stoke

Little v Plymouth

Convoy v Millwall

Kebe v West Ham

Damn sure Meaker had a couple of terrific points winning performances too.

I was with you til you mentioned the Meakon.

Re: Ex Royals

Was that in the National League Cup? Seems to have similar rules regarding squad strength as the EFL Trophy. I take it Kanu didn't play in that if it was. It was, and he didn’t. I was expecting the early sub, although it was still a bit weird seeing a sub stood waiting at kick off. The guy coming o...

Re: Ex Royals

Was at Forest Green Rovers last night to see Charlie’s dad make the earliest substitutions I have ever seen. FGR took kickoff, booted it straight into touch and then made 2 subs. Royals connection is that one of the subs was Harry Cardwell who seemed a lot taller than he was when he was with us (or...

He's a bit like Colin - someone we love to hate when managing our opposition but a decent guy and very good, knowledgeable professional when he's not. Certainly very knowledgeable about making illegal payments to players and tax fraud. I think that for clubs like Stevenage, they have an inevitable ...

Re: The inevitable poll for the next Reading manager

We made plenty of signings. Just not the right ones. Not Couhigs fault - JJ/Hunt/Carey must take responsibility there As I’ve posted before, and maybe I’m naive, but I assume at well-run clubs planning for the transfer window and identification of potential replacements should we lose key players w...

Re: Hunts gone

What did suprise me was the timing.....could it be they have someone already. I didn't expect it so soon. I saw a comment on Twitter (yes, I know), observing that the lack of mention of an interim manager suggested they had somebody already lined up. And, following that logic, presumably therefore ...
