By “career” I mean “Reading Career” Do we doubt Vydra or Grabban even though they didn’t perform for us? The teams they play for now won’t give a toss about their lean spells at Reading Vydra, struggling to get a game again. Only really did it at Watford when, in that first spell, he was sensationa...

I just saw that Ashley Cole has joined Derby. I know people are going to disagree - but that's exactly the sort of signing we should have made. If he's fit enough for Derby for half a season then he would have been a excellent cover at left-back until Obita returns. He might have also added some co...

Stats may prove me wrong on safety figures but there seem to be a lot of light aircraft crashes just in the UK-don't know about elsewhere..

You well know that Norwich was a mis-type for Notts Forest, and a gentleman might have pointed out the error. I didn't ignore the Swansea game. It was irrelevant. I was talking about evidence of improvement As for the Swansea game, I just see it as "one of those games" Reading had more po...

They didn't, they were abysmal. Hi DD/Kes btw. I saw Gary O'Neil come close and they had several other chances. What you also must remember is WBA are a better side than us. Not sure what the last part of your response means. What you must remember is if their most potent option is Gary O'Neil then...

First, our opening six games partly distorts that picture. Leaving those aside it's 21 from 22, and that is after a tough run 1 New manager making us play better. Evidence, drawing 0-0 at QPR, good result by any standards, competing well at Manchester United, on the best win-run of any new Utd mana...

We have only amassed 23 points from 28 games this season. That'll be some turnaround to get 19 points from only 8 games. First, our opening six games partly distorts that picture.

I don't know much about Green but I didn't think 'papes looked like that.

If he had a world-cup winning central midfielder who only turned up to play in December he might have done.

Kelly?

If ever two players were so completely different.

So the Derby win COULD give them a lift OR They could come down, do a version of after the Lord Mayor's Show AND They may, however slightly, be thinking of the fifth round (Accrington in the 4th) AND They are certainly not going to be 100% mentally fresh (small margins etc) AND However slightly, th...

It looks as though Derby are fielding their first eleven at Southampton tonight. Let's hope for extra time, the odd sending-off and injury. THEY,ve made 6 changes from their last game....... Maybe but only the keeper would be regarded as a non first-teamer. A good outcome for Reading, although the ...

Was that Gurney's first game?

the empty seats made me think Citeh fans have given up on the season already, which seems premature I think that is just standard for a non-top 6 game at The Etihad. Wasn't it their 4th home game in 11 days?. The owners might be billionaires but the fans aren't and football is no longer an inexpens...

I see that Sam Gallagher has returned to Southampton.
It might be a case of waiting till the near end of the transfer window because Austin is suspended and Gabbiadini has gone.
I expect Saints to be in the market for possibly 2 strikers so he might be allowed to leave.

They have been in meltdown mode on social media all weekend, still going now. They genuinely think they are some sort of footballing superpower. Years and years of frustration I suppose. Don't forget they have won the European Cup more times than Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal put together and just one...

A lot of prickly Forest fans this weekend blaming the ref. It's easy to say as a Reading fan but I don't know how they can complain with both reds (Murphy could even have gone for his wild lunge too). Ref was shocking today. So inconsistent. Punished fouls by Forest by let similar ones off for Read...

Am I the only one who thinks illori is a decent CB and worth more than £3 million...? One week he looks worth £6 million, the next £1. Whether a player can become more consistent is the issue. It's not as if he is inexperienced so that reason doesn't work. Is he in the wrong league?-Maybe. We will ...
