Completely different style of play. Clear at all times in defence no matter where. Close down all the time. Hit long balls over the top.Take no chances. Its the sort of style you need to grab at least a point. We just about edged it by bringing Preston down to our level. Will probably work well away...

Sutekh Jimmy coming back....

Could have re-signed him a few years ago when he was out of contract

Hammond wanted him back but turned down by Steve Clarke

I would have liked to see him as the manager. Decent boss who knows his stuff in this league. Long had his day I think. Seeing Parky appointed at Sunderland makes you reflect on those that said he wasn't ready for Reading and then we appoint someone with no managerial experience. I think also worry...

Or that following the shoddy process of hiring Gomes, the club decided to get some form of succession planning in place so brought Bowen in as a consultant initially to see how he works - they liked what they saw so created a new role for him to have more of a say in transfer dealings and all footb...

Apparently Bowen is favourite with the bookies. What the actual oxf*rd oxf*rd? yes, don't think that would please anyone. I'm not too sure where that has come from tbh, not actually seen anything concrete to back it up Now 1/3 on Skybet. Doubt its just guessing. This will go down like a lead balloo...

Christ, if the conclusion is that our squad is worse now than at the end of last season despite making 9 signings, choosing to let three or four players go and freezing out another three, that's pretty much a sackable offence on it's own. Agreed. Much as I like him for his commitment with these pla...

I think Gomes is trying to play continental football in the championship and it isn't working. Mowbray said our players are technically gifted but if you take the ball off them it pays dividends.. I felt sorry for Yiadom as he is being asked to play a role he isn't suited.We can't play 3 creative pl...

I keep hearing about Meite’s limitations. He is under-estimated on here. He is good in the air, pretty quick, puts himself about and reasonably composed in front of goal. His first touch isn’t great but that’s why he is playing in the Championship. His goal conversion rate was impressive last seaso...

Big worry for me is that he dropped both Joao and Puscas. If he still thinks Meite is a better bet he hasn't learnt much. Just because Puscas has missed some chances you still need to play your best players and stick to both up front so as they can build a rapport. After starring in both Internation...

Wolves were also due to sign striker Danny Loader, 18, from Reading, also for the u23s.

He was at Compton for a medical, but a deal fell through at the last minute when the Royals upped their asking price.

Or is Moore on his way??

Just as we thought we were getting to grips with FFP everything seems to have been turned on its head. Will Howe enlighten us or are we just going for points and accepting a 9 pt deduction as inevitable anyway so lets make it worthwhile.

Hound I expect there is interest. Even in Popa. Its probably clubs trying to take them off us at the cheapest possible price, and thats what is being negotiated. They know there is a deal to be done with us.

Or more likely waiting for them to leave by mutual consent then sign them for nothing

No. Simply put. No. Personally still think we could easily have lost a lot more last season. EFL would not be able to take action on a forecast as it could never be legally binding until the official audited accounts are published. If we only lost £10m last season we would have a lot more leeway th...

I think there are a few as-yet unknowns. Will the goalkeeping be good enough? The back four look solid with VG cover but it might be hard to keep the four CBs happy If we get a striker, or one of our current strikers can get a Blackman-Like purple patch, then almost anything is possible. But really...

Reports coming out that Diamond Edwards has gone/is going to Southampton for a "substantial" fee. Not first team but any decent fee for a player nowhere near the first team, has to be welcomed at the mo. Wasn't he out of contract? Don't players that age that move only attract a fairly mod...

Apparently according to Get Reading Gomes refused to talk to any of the press after Saturday and snubbed everyone. Doesn't sound like our Jose. Is he off? Is he totally frustrated by the situation after all??
