In nearly 40 years of going to watch Reading, I have never seen a team so utterly devoid of confidence, belief or fight. The system doesn't work and Selles looks way out of his depth. I really wanted it to work out for him, but it's clearly not going to. I can't watch much more of this, it's a slow,...

But are leaking rumours to Hobnob part of an NDA? Surely we're an exception? :D Then you want to go all in on Storey then :wink: TBH Storey's public shenanigans gives me a level of comfort that he isn't a viable option. Do we actually know if RedBird had a genuine interest or was that purely specul...

So, what are the options for protests and which, if any, will do any good? Why will Dai pay any attention to half-a-dozen tennis balls on the pitch or half a stand refusing to leave at the end of the match? Surely these things are no more harmful to him that losing 3 points. Also, how does the logi...

Delboy I have sent a tweet timTim Dellor he should read the article and get off selles back

He should get Robbie Savage on his Friday night show for a chat.

It's not even the same team that lost the first two matches! I am being selective for the benefit of my point, but this team has played 6, won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 (both to late goals). Two of those games were against Championship opposition.

They're doing alright.

I am getting too old for school night away days :( I didn't think it was quite as bad as some people seem to think. Button had to make a good save pretty much from kick off and they had their goal, but other than that, there wasn't much. We had one scramble and the Knibbs shot off the bar - not conv...

This. Was a very good lower end PL/top end Champ player. Some players have a big drop off as they age especially if they have had an injury. Hendrick had moments with us and I'm not sure if joining another club with issues, who appear to be in freefall despite last years promotion, is likely to rev...

Of course it the various FAs, FIFA and UEFA weren't so obsessed with cash we could dump international breaks completely but no let's press on with clogging up the domestic fixture list as much as possible and then blame the domestic league and cup competitions for there being too many games. :| If ...

Does anyone remember a player called Sekou Baradji who played for us? I am pretty sure West Ham signed him on deadline day and we immediately signed him on loan. I noticed that he’s still playing but I have no recollection of watching him play for us and was just wondering if he was any good. Barel...

Money (TV) talks so I would be surprised if the Cambridge game is called off. I had hoped that the rare bonus of League 1 being that the international break wouldn't apply-these postings have now depressed me. The Derby game that has been called off was slated for TV, so if the rules state players ...

Given how early the red card was, I'm not sure we learnt much from the game, other than the young players can stand up for themselves against a very physical side. Stevenage also had two chances after the sending off that could easily have led to a goal and needed good saves. Too early to say what o...

Good performance today, despite Stevenage doing their best to bully us. I don't mind that though, we'll come up against plenty of very physical sides in this league and we have to get used to it. Hutch made a difference coming into the side and nobody played badly. Ben Elliott looks a player, at one...

I wonder if any fees we received for those four would cover a significant chunk of 125% of our monthly wage bill...

Too many times the cb’s were stood with the ball just inside our half with no options to pass too. Midfield needed to offer themselves more. Wing look like a standard League 1 player to me, did OK I guess but nothing special. Knibbs is just a clone of Azeez, no end product. I thought Savage played ...

Shame for Abbey if he's injured. Is Rushesha injured too? 1, possibly 2 more needed in forward areas, but really pleased to see Vickers on the bench again.

No Bouzanis, I wonder if he might be on his way out?

Is it arrogant relegated bigger club syndrome to think we really should win this? It's not based upon delusion. There were signs of encouragement against Peterborough and we narrowly lost against a team who will be up there. I thought we'd beat plenty of lower L1 teams with that style. Well Vale ar...

WestYorksRoyal What a performance! Players like Yiadom, Tmac and Holmes are used to losing. These guys are fearless. Big decisions for Selles to make on Saturday.

Would be happy to see Abbey start on Saturday, in particular

hughsies no.1 Has there ever been a more overhyped academy product than Femi Azeez?

We had two starting at centre back today!

I actually thought we played quite well overall. The team needs to be given time to gel and we need a few more players in. Considering what an utter mess we’ve been in preseason I can’t have any complaints. Savage will be quality this season and Knibbs did well. The young lad Vickers looks special....

So all top flight clubs probably making profits to us haemorrhaging money? that makes sense. They likely see the club as undervalued and with the potential to play at a higher level with the right investment. Hard to warm to an investment company looking at taking over but they should at least be a...
