Ideally I would start Southwood Yiadom Dann Morrison Rahman Laurent Drinkwater Ejaria Swift Dele-Bashiru Puscas However I think VP will put Rafael straight back in and also Dann and Drinkwater probably won’t be fit enough so Holmes and Rinomhota (presuming he’s over the knock to his ankle) will repl...

Why you never go from.a.photo, they distort everything. Hope Moore is back and able to sit on the bench for the rest of the season soon. Exactly, refs, even without VAR, can usually correctly tell straight away if it’s a bad/reckless challenge, even more so when players themselves are right on top ...

Cripple Creek Sorry. Please delete. Don't know how to. Meant to post in A&E.

Nonsense, good to have the odd post break free of the schackles of tyranny and escape into the mists of delusion that is the team board.

I like Southwood but tbh I think a lot of us WANT to see him as some sort of saviour as we look through our RTGs. It's comforting to believe our keeper is a big part of our problems but the fact of the matter is he's nothing special but he's not the reason for us being shite in defence. TBF Southwo...

Brum Royal BBC headline:

Barcelona have confirmed they made a loss of £481m in the last financial year. The club also have debts of £1.3b

For £s read Euros in both cases.

Makes the likes of Reading getting an embargo seem rather petulant.

Personally hope that Southwood keeps his place but then I think is he ready to face the likes of Mitrovic et al but then I remember McCarthy v Liverpool and this game is one everyone expects Reading to get hammered in so what is there to lose? Guess it might come down to how much of a “confidence” p...

NathStPaul Bracknell looking very strong this season, will take quite a lot to stop them based upon what I have seen.

Tell that to Burgess Hill

Winston Biscuit Chris Hughton sacked

Former Reading coach Steven Reid given the caretaker role

NathStPaul Rafael already back in training according to him, he will get his place back no doubt.

Yep, hand badly bruised and swollen, no bones broken.

There's not really anything wrong with goals coming from midfield, we've done it before when Sigurdsson score 16 in the 09/10 season, goals are goals after all. It seems Swift is playing in a more advanced role this season and thriving, long may it continue. And of course with Mr Caskey before that.

After tonight Equal worst defensive record now. Now 15th in the table but could sink to 19th after tomorrow’s fixtures. Run is now 3 wins in 18 games which averages out as 1 win in every 6 games. Only QPR have scored more currently. Swift has 7 goals from 7 games. Who needs Joao? https://i2-prod.ge...

Reading back with the worse defensive record again.

TDB

Swift

It was Sheff U 1-1 Peterborough at half time on Saturday. Bet the Sheff U fans were similarly disparaging of their team then.

Really good save from Southwood.

Moore might be off at half time to take up his place on the injury list.

This is dreadful stuff. Do Reading have zonal attacking as well as defending?

No danger of any excitement as yet. Very, very dull indeed.

Any idea on attendance, looks like a poor turnout (unsurprising though that might be to some).
