Bristol Paul Awful defending and just not at the races, this is over and wouldn’t want to be facing Selles after this.

2 goals is not over against a team in their form.

Worst 45 of the season? Certainly since November.

What a player! May well have to fend off Championship interest this summer.

Royalwaster Abrefa looking well out of his depth today.

Part of player development. No wonder we started the season so poorly with a group of players similarly inexperienced.

Loads of time if we wake up. Get 1 and watch the nerves kick in. Agree, I reckon we will still win this We're just playing route 1. If we get one before they get a third we might lift our game, but we look pretty terrible. Terrible pitch to try and move through the thirds on. I think they've done i...

Should be 3-0, good save. This is so so poor.

Reading U 18’s league season went from bad to worse this morning when they lost to Southampton 9-0 at Bearwood. Only the FA Youth Cup run the highlight of an extremely poor season. Out of interest why do you think it has been so poor? Is it the manager/coaching, the ability of our players or the qu...

Loads of time if we wake up. Get 1 and watch the nerves kick in.

Soft as fcuk.

Snowflake Royal Pitch looks dreadful.

Maybe it's intentional. Carlisle and Rovers both criticised their ground staff for making too good a pitch for us.

Just watched the whole 170 minutes of the review with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes Bloody hell, that team was unreal I think Glen Little's chip may be the best Reading goal of my lifetime (I'm too young to possibly comment on Friday v Tranmere). Blakey was ridiculous He wasn’t particula...

Time for someone to post up the season review video of 05/06 edit. … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWmi1nNEWds 2 pages of Reading clips and more season reviews starting here https://www.royals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=100980&hilit=Season+review+youtube&start=580 Just watched the ...

Tbf I think the advent of sports science and increased professionalism mean the intensity is higher these days compared to the 90s and prior; perhaps even the 00s. But the increase in playing demands are coming from UEFA, the bigger Club World Cup and lucrative pre season tours. The traditions of th...

- Yiadom out for both remaining games with knee issue - Holmes out with an ankle sprain, may be back for Blackpool - Pereira and Dorsett available https://twitter.com/AndyPreston96/status/1781329407031816599 Abrefa in for Yiadom Since Holmes moved to Luton and then came back he's played part of 1 g...

Kelvin v Cambridge for me, but Wing has scored some crackers. I prefer his goal vs Northampton; Henry-esque. Context also matters. His goal against Cambridge was a speculative hit of the ball when we were 3-0 up, whereas his goal against Northampton was a very skilful finish and a match winning mom...

Feels like momentum is now against this and we can start a sweepstake on the inevitable climb down. I'm going for about 1.30pm and the statement will be read out by Sky at HT in the early kick off.

Forgetting about greed, power grabs etc., those at the top of the pyramid just seem highly incompetent. The super league was a shit show too.

The EFL have just come out and denied being consulted. This will be reversed. Piss up and brewery come to mind. But of course they don't need a regulator.

All a massive overreaction. Let's be honest unless you get a big club in a replay they are massive loss makers for the majority of clubs and inconvenient for teams, players and fans. Just take our match at Eastleigh this season. We'd have had to push back the Oxford (H) match by a week to fit the r...

Who knows what they have lent the club, but the Bearwood charge means they have Dai by the balls if he tries any tricks. Of all the news in the past month, that is the development that gives me the most confidence.

Plenty of EFL clubs speaking out against this. Any chance of a U turn? Or at least a statement that the plans are paused and subject to consultation?
