Old Man Andrews MEITE!!!!!

The bloke is a very good Championship player, anyone who says differently knows nothing about football.


He's not very good.

He's excellent.

Who’d have thought McCleary, Baldock and Obita would change the game

We've spoken about cashing in on players like Swift and Moore but at this rate, surely someone will be coming in for Meite.

Snowflake Royal Now Baldock really is a striker who plays better in a partnership up top.


Not a lone striker for holding it up though.


Exactly...he’s a good player at this level it utilised correctly. Plus he plays at a decent tempo which is what we need.

But the 4-4-2 doesn’t suit all the players in the squad.

So we need to decide which way we want to go and use players in the correct system

Think his game is ugly enough we may get away with it for one more season.

17 goals isn’t it? People will be looking I’m sure

I’d rather keep him to be honest

Yes who would have thought putting on a striker, a winger and another player who started out as a winger would give Reading more impetus going forward. Perhaps MB might learn that playing on the front foot and taking the game to the opposition might be a good option. I won’t hold my breath.

Absolutely. Bored of having half a squad for one style and half for another, that's why keeping a manager for a couple of years is important... building a squad can't be done in one transfer window.

Close from Olise.

He’s done it nearly every game since the restart and it’s made no difference

We have to get the balance right in midfield. Then take it from there.

I’ve enjoyed listening to Jem today. Prefer him to Mick.

Last time Reading drew 3-3 at Blackburn they were relegated the following season.

Fuk sake, Swift literally runs away from a ball in our box to give Blackburn possession.


Just watch Baldock's play out of possession compared to Puscas. He's always on his toes, charging people down, pointing where he wants Meite. Puscas just stands still in space.

Always thought he is a decent player. Just never suited our system and far too injury prone

About as soft as they go but I think that's a penalty.
