To call it a long ball is a bit harsh, as it was a perfectly weighted ball from one side of the pitch by Gunter to the other where Taylor was.

This is a fair punt by Cardiff-they sell their centre-back for £8 million and buy another one for £3 million. We all know that he is not worth that much but to the outside world here is a player with some Premier League experience , who has been captain of his club and called up by Scotland. This i...

My friend is desperate for a central defender. Email him if you want: n.adkins@readingfc.co.uk Tell him Bobby sent you Tell him I'll play there but I'll be a roaming centre-half/marauding forward. Expect goals and gaps. You sound more qualified to play football on these shores than Shane Long was w...

The feel and comments following this departure are very Matt Mills-esque.....can only hope for as good an outcome!!

Jem tweets. Not wishing Morro all the best etc. No acknowledgement from any of the current Reading players yet (although Charlie Austin, Michail Antonio etc have). Just a simple "Some grub with chilliams" https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BvFpoHnIIAArJ62.jpg Cold. #notflames I'd sleep easier if...

Thought we were bang average first half. Controlled the game well enough, rarely looked threatened, but offered zilch going forward. Taylor isn't a winger, and I'm sorry but I just can't get on board with the Edwards hype. He's tidy enough on the ball but has no presence and the difference Cox made...

we have got to sure the defence up two attacks one in each half and it results in two goals!!

A good start for us lets push on and get ourselves in front now and then who knows.

It's a shame that because of our midfield problems, Hector hasn't had a chance to prove himself as a cb. Sounds like Morrison and Pearce haven't exactly covered themselves in glory. Judging by today's performance and in the brief stint he had at the end of last season Hector could be the CB we need...

bobby1413 What was the attendance like? Did Swansea bring many fans?

Think it was approx 5k in total... 1k of them Swans

Yeah that's probably about right though when there is that few there it actually looks like less!

It was Pearce for the penalty, the most blatant handball I have seen for some time. Would definitely have walked in a league game, no way in pre-season. Though the ref did warn him Well given all our players would get blown over by a stiff breeze we don't have the players to play a more direct game...

We're looking to play football same as we did last year trouble is I don't really think we have the players for it. Certainly Adkins has a few who are unavailable who would make the difference i.e Karacan and Guthrie. Defence still looks like it will ship a fair amount of silly avoidable goals this ...

JayRoyal a few away kits I made, we're overdue a red away kit

We only had red three seasons ago???

Hence we are "due" a red kit

Colours will be reversed from that mock up I think, giving us a white back, but otherwise I reckon that's the shirt

Very disappointed with Doyle for that reaction.

Very pleased to hear your just a shit Shane Long as was thinking that would have been my reaction if I was at the game!!

Someone want to knock this up in blue and white and we have next years kit already....

About time this was shut down isn't it. More meaningful threads than this have been closed before now!

Thanks Strap....most helpful!
