No disrespect to Stevenage but you would think that if a player had the choice between them and Reading under new ownership, that we would be more likely to be promoted. So rather odd if he had both options and chose them. Perhaps we didn’t want him, wouldn’t give him sufficient assurance about bein...

Bookies are normally right and they have RFC as 9th favourite to be top next season at 14-1 and 5-1 to be promoted. 5-1 seems like a good bet to me. Not saying we will go up but quite generous odds.

I can only speak for myself but I can honestly say skin colour simply doesn't come into my head when I think of which players are doing a good job or not. For example we all seem to love Mbengue - who is fantastic. He tries hard, is athletic and gives his all. I have never given his skin colour a th...

As others have said there are no huge surprises. I would have expected Akande to get another year and perhaps Holzman too. Not sure what happened with Holzman. He seemed to be ahead of Stickland and then suddenly disappeared from the squad - I think they said injured? But who knows if there was some...

Thought RC looked pretty exhausted. I admire his persistence in finally getting the deal over the line. Dealing with Dai must have been like grappling a slippery eel. And although the interview was a mess, he said more to the fans in 5 minutes than we heard from Dai in 7 years, But one has to say th...

There are rumours that Mbengue would like to play at a higher level. He is out of contract but under age 24 on 30th June and so I assume that if we offer him a new contract and he refuses, that we would be entitled to compensation. Am I right?

You really have to wait until the transfer window closes. You could be really optimistic at the start of the season, and then lose someone key to the squad late on deadline day. As for Bindon, I can’t see why he would want to have another season at this level, even if Forest were willing. He’s prov...

Taking everything into account 7th this season was a remarkable achievement. Bearing in mind the need for a large rebuild this summer it would be a stretch to think we can do as well next season. However, with speedy good additions and enough young stars re-signing, plus a good pre season, anything ...

All credit to Orient winning their last 6 games. Think they have a good chance of winning the play offs as they are an in form team.

We really have been inexplicably poor today. Making out of form Barnsley look like Barcelona. I guess nerves have got to the young squad.

I reckon RC will be announced as the new owner just before the match. RFC will then demolish Barnsley 8-0 in celebration. Orient will be 1-0 up until the 95th minute when Huddersfield will score an equaliser against the run of play. The Madstad (sorry SCL stadium) will go wild. RC will then announce...

If we win both games and Orient pip us by winning 6 in a row - the last 4 from losing positions, you would have to take your hat off for them and say they deserve it. I just hope we win the last 2 to keep the pressure on.

I do expect an extension until the end of the season, but looking on the bright side, if Mansfield was RFCs last ever game, at least we went out on a high.

Still think we will be excluded from the play offs if we make top 6 and if the sale has not gone through by early May.

On one level if Couhig manages to buy and save the club from extinction that will be great, but if he downgrades the Academy, I for one would be very disappointed. Surely his way to make money would be to run the club sustainably - free agents + Academy only and no very high wages. I think the club...

Is it really true that Rob Couhig plans to close or downgrade the academy or is this just some tenuous, self-feeding rumour with no substance? I'm more than prepared to give him a chance (like him even) but would be very concerned by this direction of flow. Surely bringing on and selling a few acad...

Tough one as so many players have performed above expectations this season. I think Craig and Elliot both did well until they were injured. And as people have mentioned the likes of Knibbs, Savage, Wing, Mbengue etc have all been magnificent but Bindon has probably been the stand out player. Perhaps...

The only way for Reading FC to move forward is for Dai to be gone. The announcement by the EFL of the granting of the extension enabling Dai to complete a sale to 22/4 is a positive step to seeing Dai gone, as it strongly implies there is a genuine impetus to selling the club; after all, if there w...

Probably a stupid question, or one that has been answered. Notwithstanding that without a takeover going through the club doesn't last the summer - if we are 'suspended' by the EFL this week, are we removed from the league, or are our remaining fixtures treated as (3-0?) walkovers? Given we have en...

That is very sad news. Please accept my sincere condolences.
