Didn't hear any booing from our fans, how precious

Maybe it was the home fans ALF

The Quiet Man blackman 7 played well would have been an 8 but his decisions on passing let him down a number of times.

Maybe he thinks he's too good for this division

Asshole

You're the reason none of the rest of us went

Pepe the Horseman You don't know shit.

Please Pepe don't make comments like that. I do know but I'm not too perturbed that you don't believe it . Thats up to you.

You should be at least twice more perturbed than you are

Apparently the EP match report for Boro had our team name spelt 'Ipswich'. Can anyone cofnirm this?

Edwards injured

I particularly liked Pepe's persistence on the Blackman front and the continued use of Rosenior comparisons as a criticism for any Reading FC right-back

Don't mind this to be honest, a few sloppy mistakes cost us early on but the young players will learn from them, good run out for Kuhl against championship opposition and other young players continuing to get experience. Good opportunity for our staff to see what works consistently game to game and ...

hope you twats are happy, now we wont see cummings until next season

If it means we don't need to sell Drenthe then I'm happy

To get four points from those two games with the injuries and self-imposed transfer embargo this preseason is quite something. Great to see so many academy players holding their own at this level.

May already have been mentioned but Dean Hammond playing for Leicester against Everton after Drinkwater got injured in the first half

Thats the sort of money I'd expect for us to agree to part with a settled first-teamer under a long contract - the upside is that this gives us an opportunity to build a defence that works, the existing back 5 were all strong individually but didn't click in the same way other successful defences in...

Can we not just get Anton to coax Faurlin here pls

If Williams isn't in your best 11 you're wrong

Left back should be our immediate priority

Really good three points, I love how we closed out the game

Who do people think is going to have a breakthrough season, either a bit part player last year who becomes a first team starter or a player who has never really featured in the first team becoming a regular feature? Edwards and Taylor obviously getting a lot of game time and the back four seems fair...

Anyone else just completely happy that we haven't had to give a single thought to any transfer 'rumour' all preseason?

He'll complement Adkins well because he's got charisma and passion to get the whole team up for big games and getting them firing on all cylinders when they need to on the pitch. It helps that he's a likeable person and looked up to by all the young players who are hoping to follow in his footsteps....
