Platypuss That's the John Swift I want to see week in week out. Imperious.

No longer has to carry the team. Can focus on what he's good at.

Yep, having now had a full off-season with Gomes, won't be surprised if he continues his improvement under him.

Sorry for maybe putting this in the wrong thread: From Live4Liverpool: When Liverpool agreed to send Ovie Ejaria back on loan to Reading, no one would have expected a couple of weeks later to see him being described as “world class” and “unplayable”. However that is exactly what has happened with s...

Quick shout out to all those who advocated for trying 3 at the the back today - JMW, Ranty, retro, Elm Park Kid, etc, etc. Well done lads, good call, good chat and input.

Like to see us play 3 CB and push Yiadom and Richards further up, sure it would suit us better. Obviously switch the Goalkeeper. ^^^ Relying on Yiadom for width is costing us in defence 3 CBs all the way for me Yep, I'd like to see it tried too. It would get Morrison on the park, and help offset th...

Asking players who didn't make the cut for the first team squad to join in with the reserves is kind of how it has always been isn't it ? Alas, it's looking like that point won't be conceded. Also, I see what you did there. You referenced the 'reserves' rather than 'forcing them to play with the ki...

Asking players who didn't make the cut for the first team squad to join in with the reserves is kind of how it has always been isn't it ? Yes, is this in any way a departure from the past? Maybe those having a problem with it could weigh in? Thanks. (Btw, I'd be surprised if GMac has a beef with th...

Everton rate him a lot I would be very tempted to give him one more outing (tonight) because if he's dropped now, it will be a long road back. Snowy, I hear ya. We're in the (ruthless) business of trying to win football games. The question is whether he currently gives us the best chance of doing s...

The only other cup game resulted in a 2-1 FA Cup win for Reading at Loakes Park back in January 1977 Was there - I believe it was the last goals Robin Friday scored for us Yep - but was December 1976. Remember going on the coaches and something odd happened on the way - but can't remember what. Cue...

Like to see us play 3 CB and push Yiadom and Richards further up, sure it would suit us better. Obviously switch the Goalkeeper. ^^^ Relying on Yiadom for width is costing us in defence 3 CBs all the way for me Yep, given the players we have and their skill sets, I'd like to see it too. It would ge...

Anyway, we were unlucky not to get anything out of that game against what looked like a pretty poor Hull side ... once again though our keeper looked poor for the first goal, and yes we were denied an obvious penalty - with VAR that would have been a definite. And we hit the cross bar and post. Big...

Going back to the penalty shout, how close was it? Is that 2 games in 2 we should have had a pen? Wondering if we're saving all our good luck for later in the season... Yep, looked a trip to me. On another day it's given. Slow start cost us, when we came out flat and disjointed (no surprise). Awful...

Much better this half
Yiadom having torrid game defensively
Miazga uncomfortable on left side (doesn’t play there for U.S., either)
Joao nice finish, been a presence all game
Swift nice touches, good assist
Puscas been active since coming on

Without Meite’s goals and Barrow’s assists we would be playing Accrington this season. Yep, and quite a few in here (not just twitter) wanna sell Barrow. Has Barrow tweeted anything? Not that I am aware of. Barrow’s goals and assists record is very healthy considering he has been playing in a strug...

Zip Without Meite’s goals and Barrow’s assists we would be playing Accrington this season.

Yep, and quite a few in here wanna sell Barrow.
Has Barrow tweeted anything?

The reply from Meite was something like; “people have short memories my bro” and a pic of him and Barrow. Is he talking about last year's relegation battle ? We all remember it, bro. You both went missing for large parts of the season. D!cks. Well yeah, these days it’s not so much how you intended ...

NewCorkSeth I'm confident we should be mid table this season but stop oxf*rd cursing us with over confidence.

Or cursing us with ‘If we splash the cash there’s always a feeling it will end very badly’

AthleticoSpizz Them were the days....we had it tough (and well before THAT Swansea game)

Overrun by Pompey, Lincoln and Northampton ffs

Them were the days

Aldershot used to make a fair fist of it......but this was the 197’0’s

Heh, reckon you got turned over by an OCS top firm one too many times. As did I.

I thought Brighton’s 10m for Moore was good offer. Turns out Mr Dai made the right decision not to sell. I’m not sure he did. How much do you think Miazga would cost? He told Gourlay to put a new contract together for Moore. Gourlay delayed and Moore had the Brighton contract ready to sign. Moore h...
