I thought Hunt was dreadful today for most of the game and Oster not much better. Regarding Oster I think he will be gone before next season and Seol will be the challenger to both wide players. Whereas Oster can be bad Hunt can be bad most of the time but ends up doing something that has an effect ...

Got in last night just in time to see the massive coverage on Match of the Day (3 minutes?)-at least Shearer and Dixon praised us again and acknowledged our achievements this season. As for the game-a terrible first 80 minutes during which Duberry and Ivar did a great job in reducing their chances t...

If we can get somewhere near mid-table by Christmas then maybe we can have a real go at the cup competitions-plenty of excitement to be had there.

I was reading about Bolton's concern about the African Nations Cup in midwinter when players can be away for a long time. With Sonko and Bikey likely to be taking part we are going to need quite a few centre-backs on our books. With Pearce probably needing another season,Bennett maybe likewise,Mate ...

Comparing it to other events was stupid. With football you never know what to expect. Today was a performance similar to the end of last season, nothing to play for, seeing the season out. "nothing to play for"? What about Europe? Oh no,I forgot, we don't want to play in Europe. Not sure ...

Do we really need a massive squad to compete in Europe and will it all cost loads of money? This year the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid might not qualify for the Champions League so end up in the UEFA Cup,something that may not happen again. This year we could finish in the top 7 , somethin...

It is always interesting to see such diverse views including one poster giving Shorey 4/10 and another going with the Shorey for England stuff. Personally I made Ivar MOM by miles-his reading of the game is tremendous. When Oster came here I was one of the few that were pleased with his signing but ...

In the past few weeks our midfield four have been poor and I feel sorry for the strikers who are left two v four or five. I wonder if we are just burnt out. If you were looking from the outside you would probably think that ours is a typical promoted club season-good in the first-half of the season ...

He didn't make major changes when we played West Ham after playing Man Utd away two days previously and playing the last 30 minutes with 10 men. So why would he make changes after a HOME game and an hour's coach trip up to Charlton two days later? It will be interesting to see if Charlton make chang...

On looking back I can't see the reason for Little continuing to play through an injury. Remember Kitson doing the same and it messed him up for some time. It's not as if we are actually playing for anything like a promotion push or a cup semi-final-we didn't want to win the FA Cup (God forbid a Euro...

I thought Halford did quite well and his performance prompted a bloke in front of me to suggest that he would be our starting right-back next season. What I liked was how comfortable he was on the ball. With the midfield 4 (agree with Vision) all having poor games I thought the rest did well to keep...

We are playing away and must assume that Spurs will have more possession and possibly more free-kicks and corners. Who (like Chelsea with Drogba)is our best striker in defensive situations to mark Dawson? I'll give a clue-it's not Doyle or Lita. The shape of our side is so much better with Kitson pl...

It will be interesting to see what players are bought in the Summer. Can the club keep on finding lower division players and improving them? Has Sodje been worth what we paid for him and has he improved? Has Seol been worth what we paid for him and improved? Has Convey been worth what we paid for hi...

I agree with the original poster except (as with Woodcote) Hunt for Convey. It is truly amazing that one year on our first choice eleven is more or less the same as last year's so what does that say? Firstly that they have improved up to a higher level. Secondly,the signings that we have made have n...

Long term stability over short term any day. If we can sustain our stay in the Premiership, we will be able to expand the stadium and that'll make a hell of a difference as it'll take us past the Boltons, Blackburns, Charltons, Sheffield Uniteds, Wigans and the like and make us far more attractive ...

I'm also not sure where this concern / myth comes from about the 'demands' of European football. We could quite easily get knocked in the first round, which means a grand total of......2 extra games in the season. Hardly season defining. As has already mentioned, if we qualify for Europe we may wel...

Thanks for those 3 minutes of video-what a great day that was and one of the best performances of quick-passing football that I have ever seen from a Reading side.

Ihave to agree with darling Katie and Huntley on this. Surely the idea of playing is to aim for the stars and for a club like Reading that surely means qualifying for the EUFA Cup either by reaching a domestic cup final or by finishing about 7th in the division. I do think that we missed a great opp...

I think it was Luton that he turned down-only "seating " talk in the East Stand.
