Royal Rother I simply don't believe the Rosenior story.

On reflection neither do I - looks like someone making things up.

79Royal We're prepared to let Harper and Rosenior go, but keep Kebe?

Not knocking Harper or Rose but Kebe consistently produces assists unlike many other of our players - 11 last season and one already this season. Kebe is likely to be a key player for us this season.

Frankly Sigurdsson has dome more effective things in the last two games than I recall Matejovsky doing in the last 12 months. We all see the potential in Matejovsky but he does not actually produce very much - for all his supposed defense splitting passes I think he managed just one assist all last ...

Really cannot see why hobnobbers have such a high regard for him. He usually plays well for 10 minutes in a game and has never played a top quality 90 minutes since he arrived that I can recall. Having said that unless a loan was concluded and has not yet been reported, the chances are we are stuck ...

Reading EP saying Rose to Ipswich on a season loan - would seem a very odd decision unless we are getting a new right back.

I'm sure confidence plays it's part, but I think it may be as much as case of stupidity, or at least mental deficiency. The majority of mistakes I've seen him make over the last season or two, have been ones of composure, concentration and decision making, not confidence. Confidence on seems to com...

Rasiak is on much higher wages than Southampton want to pay in Div 1. He was willing to drop his wages a bit to get a move but we are probably still paying him a good amount - hence why Southampton were happy to let him go cheap.

The truth is we are selling PL quality players and buying Championship quality players BUT we are in the Championship folks so that makes sense. I am pleased with the two signings yesterday and my faith that the powers that be in the club know what they are doing is returning. My frustration at one ...

BR came across as very confident and I thought was very good. What he said reminded me of the night the Tommy Burns was appointed and came to speak to those who had turned up at a hastily arraned event on the Southbank. He talked the talk but as we know failed to the deliver. The difference is that...

Deathy More chance of seeing Jay Simpson come in, and for that reason, I'm out.

There is more chance of Homer Simpson playing for us the way this season has started.

marcusopp If Rodgers doesn't oxf*rd off now, we'll be playing league one football next season

We will then change or sponsers from Waitrose to Londis?

or lidl

More likely Poundland.

BR still seemed fairly optimistic when interviewed on BBCRB. What did he say? The only hope is that Tommy Smith is unwilling to move from Watford and thinks that a daily commute to Pompey will be too far. There is a slim chance we could still get him but will he really turn down the chance of PL fo...

Well in terms of awfulness today really is one of the worst to be a RFC fan for quite a while. First we (probably) lose out on Tommy Smith having messed about with the transfer for weeks. Then tonight an awful Barnsley side beat us reasonably comfortably. There really was not a lot for us to get ex...

The good news is that it is painfully clear that we need to add some experienced, skilled players to our squad. We have a week before the deadline and should be able to address at least some of the holes. If we had gotten lucky with a fluke goal or three the people in charge might have been tempted...

i'm still sure he'll be a Reading player by the end of the transfer window. He has one year on his contract, it's doubtful he'll sign at new contract at Watford, so in Jan he'll be worth even less On the contrary I will be extremely surprised if we go back for him now - Sir John will lose far too m...

I will not be completely surprised if both have gone before the start of the season.

Agreed, lets chalk the last 4 games off and start the season again.

Well according to BR we are still in pre-season until the end of August so I was assuming our season starts on September 12th.

I have to say that Harper does not really fit into the BR system as far as I can see and Matejovsky has never done it for us consistently. Sigurdsson showed as much today as most of the Matejovsky performances I have seen at Reading. He normally makes a few good passes and loads of poor ones. I will...

Well I have come back this evening with real mixed feelings. That was the best performance of the four so far and yet we got beaten heavily. It is ridiculous to blame the manager - who can only work with the players he has. It is equally ridiculous to blame the young players who gave 100%. I cannot ...
