Richards looks like he's trialing for a starting role in the Bundesliga.

WoodleyRoyal Puscas has been a revelation. So pleased he’s back. Looks full of confidence.

Agreed. He's done really well holding the ball up too. Shows maybe he can play that part instead of being totally reliant on Joao. Lots of energy and will want a second.

Shame about Morro - didn't see what happened.

Ascotexgunner HT not bad....got a bit lucky for the goal.

Lucky seems harsh. It was earned.

Yes earned by pressing and then taking the chance. Happy Joao passed it to Puscas - many other strikers would've tried their luck.

Just simulated two matches on FIFA both with Joao up front with Ejaria, Olise, and Esteves, then Rino and Laurent with a back four of Yiadom, Morrison, Moore and Richards, First match with red card to Laurent for standard tackle in box with converted pen. Royals even it and dominate teh rest of the ...

Not justified? We’ve just put in one of the most inept, blunt, incompetent displays against one of the worst teams the championship has seen for a while and we are supposed to be challenging for promotion. We are in a playoff battle after years of being shite. Not seeing any battle. Just a slow pro...

Ref loves his whistle. Almost got the proverbial smash-and-grab. I'll take the point after that misery.

officiating horrendous at times. That was a horse collar tackle on Olise.

CountryRoyal This game is crying out got a Meite.

Yes, we need width and someone to get behind the defense. Yet I only saw Esteves and Semedo warming-up

So much for halftime talks. Still look average.

Stoke have 3 players surrounding us every time we get the ball. We look decidedly average and are lucky not to be at least 1 goal down. Oh and Fletcher can kiss my arse.

Sutekh Please god Sky, turn off the horrible fan drone.

You can turn it off turn audio description on

sounds like the crowd noise is at the stadium.

Could do without the sound effects....

How does he do that? It's like he sees everything in slow motion.

Random twitter rumour of the day- The man from the Mirror says: https://mobile.twitter.com/DarrenOWitcoop/status/1354727872112562176 Reading leading the Championship chase to sign Fulham winger Neeskens Kebano. Would be a decent signing for this level. Presume it would be on loan with a view to a p...

Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but Osho has been sent on loan to the Boondocks.Should have tried harder to keep him,far better than Holmes or Estevez.A RB is now a priority signing;I worry Yids has a serious problem and neither Holmes or Estevez fit the bill,while Watson appears to be on h...

Surely this shoulder injury has put paid to him going this month? There's no injury. It's part of the grand strategy to turn-down offers without really turning them down; clubs put off the dealing due to the "injury", meantime RFC renegotiate the contract. And he leaves in the Summer for ...

first time I'm fairly content with a very quiet transfer window. I'd love to get a back-up for LB and a hold-up striker. Still...if no one comes in or goes out, I'm good.

PremAddict Overall uninspiring. Looks like even BBC Berks couldn't bother to show up.

Got it. Thanks for that information - even so, wished they could provide commentary from video. Beats watching without anything or listening to the opposition commentary.

Overall uninspiring. Looks like even BBC Berks couldn't bother to show up.

Well done and the last quarter of the game without a striker on the pitch. Good to see both Omar and Swift. Raphael MoM for me. The big story for Royals is that we're still in the top six with so many starters out.
