Hendo In other league cup news;

Cardiff are losing 3-0 at Northampton
Swansea are losing 2-0 at Newport
Norwich are losing 1-0 at Luton
Birmingham are losing 1-0 at home to Cambridge
Forest at losing 1-0 at Barnsley.

From the highlights on the TV Cardiff look bloody awful.

Snowflake Royal Just think where we'd have finished last season with Joao fit.

Top half for sure.

As I said 9 points at least better off and Bowen may have survived.

Fantastic goal. Great skill and good ball from Araruna.

Christ we struggle up front without Joao.

genome Jesus christ the BBCRB callers and texters are a miserable bunch

Has Terry from the Isle of Wight rung in yet saying Stam, Clement and Gomes could have turned it all around, yet? And Aluko is world class?

tidus_mi2 Joao oh how I have missed thee.

His injury may have been the difference between Bowen losing his job and continuing. I reckon losing him cost us 9 points.

Royal_jimmy Paunovic out even though he's not in charge yet

Nice timing.

Fuk me the shambles continues. I think we should wait a few games before we say “told you so” to the Porno/anti-Bowen crew, otherwise we’ll be told to “give the new man a chance” haha He is like coiled spring waiting to pounce. He has a point about team selection though. WTF is Aluko doing near the...

Sutekh Not sure but I did hear there was a club up the road in west London that play in blue and white hoops, go by the name of QPR or something like that...

File under non football.

Cambridge university rugby btw.

HT Reading 1-0 Colchester
FT Reading 4-0 Colchester
João 8

CONFIMRED. A nice parting gift from RFC making it sound like it was his decision to step down as manager. Looking forward to all those saying the changed were fine because Bowen was in the loop and happy to be DoF eating some pie. Treated disgracefully. Bowen’s League record of 13 wins, 13 losses a...

Not sure how credible that is. The author is the Bundesliga not MLS 'expert'. There is no indication in the article as to what his 'sources' were and there is not a single quote within it. It may not have influenced him at all but it might also be worth noting that he appears to have a Bosnian back...

Why hiring Veljko Paunovic is a mistake... https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2020/08/29/championship/1034450-reading-fc-why-hiring-veljko-paunovic-is-a-mistake.html?fbclid=IwAR29O2lCIxdlxYpr59q4UeT7jo_0aBkWcdEB3cRyvBEhdD2LIYhw9EafFgo Not sure how credible that is.

For the first time since Atkins I'm actually 100% behind this guy. I think he is gonna be raise our game significantly. I think it's a good move by the club. I like Bowen but I just don't feel has has what it takes to take us to a level where we should be with this squad. There I've said it. I’m gl...

I would love to see Ejaria just trying to be played higher up the pitch. Just in that Arsenalesque Kanu role where he is fed and holds the ball and looks for a run. To me to that's his strongest attribute. His game suffers when we play a counter attacking game, he doesn't seem quick enough or instin...

Thank god that deal is done. Had heard rumours Forest were becoming interested.

Old Man Andrews What are we actually gaining from this match?

To prove we can carry on where we left off last season.

1. Ejaria - perm 2. Grujic - perm 3. Ojo - loan 4. Dickie - perm 5. Ryan Sessegnon - loan 6. Pedro Mendes - perm could line up something like: Joao Ojo Ejaria Sessegnon Rinomhota Grujic Swift McIntyre Dickie Moore Rafael Subs: Walker Morrison Richards Yiadom Laurent Meite Mendes If Ryan Sessegnon g...
