My 2 cents. - Awful injury record - A subs bench FULL of players that probably not gunna be here next season. - IMO our pivotal players (Olise / Ejaria / Joao) are inconsistent at best. His plan B has been slow and awful to watch. But if you look at the points above what is he supposed to do? His h...

PL is to much of a honey pot. It encourages teams to over spend and gamble. I feel Reading kind of deserve punishment for the circumstances. We haven't learnt from being burned by stupid contracts and the transfer policy of not selling players and spend everything we can on the now and gamble the fu...

Same team with Holmes slotting in, same formation. I wouldn't be too against back to 4231 with Joao, as Puscas ran his ass off midweek and just coming back might need protecting a bit? Hopefully, Joao has the cynicism and ruthlessness in him to fire him up and score against a former club. Was really...

Another useful win, another clean sheet with out looking very good for large periods of the game. I viewed the subs as very negative - protecting a one goal lead from 70th minute just invited wave after wave of attacks. But we did the job, just about.... the last 20 minutes felt like we were clingi...

Maybe if we stop lumping longs balls up to Joao he might start looking interested again? Puscas would do no better (probably worse) with the service, Meite would be a better option, however If he is fit enough to start - he is for sure more effective playing with Joao. Joao has looked very isolated ...

After Tuesday - the hard decisions are made easy. We looked terrible with certain players in certain positions. My preference would be have Holmes and Richards as full backs. Bring Tmac back to CB - Moore back onto the bench. Drop Semedo and have Esteves out on the right. That allows us to bring Mei...

Agree. The can for this debacle has to be carried by the manager, his negative team selection and frustrating intransigence to not shift from 4-2-3-1 formation when it’s patently obvious that would be a better fit for the players currently available (not to mention, if it’s used over a few games, g...

The most disappointing thing for me is that Pauno seems to have fallen into the trap of many managers in now worrying too much about the opposition.. We got to our lofty league position by generally playing fluid attacking football based on a midfield all working together and swapping positions whe...

Here we are congratulating the boys on a measly 2-0 win, when they were on a losign streak, huge injury woes, imminent manager departure, and Watford were able to put 6 past them. Should we have done a lot better? I am not sure we could of got more than the 3 points on offer. Did Watford get more p...

Another chance for Fosu to shine and prove to be the second biggest transfer mistake Reading have made behind Antonio. Neither of those are close to being our biggest ‘mistake’ though Your biggest obsession perhaps, but that’s not the same thing at all.... Agreed. Over the years the club has done m...

You mean, I shouldn't get annoyed on the internet, who knew
I never disregarded the competitive reasons - Richards is better. Thats why he is vital to keep fit. We have good cover at RB.

I am not saying that should happen. i think Yaidom needs some more minutes and prefer to keep Holmes on for a more physical presence. I would understand that if Richards didn't have one of the best records in the division for tackles, stopping dribbles past, closing down crosses and interceptions. ...

Stoke is always going to be a physical game. Players like Olise will have to learn to cope with these teams eventually. So i have no issue with starting Olise. And really if they start fouling to stop our players, it does play into our hands. We have Morrison, Laurent, Holmes, Joao and Tmac all hug...

Not strictly related to this game, but noticed Ejaria was the second highest who scored rater in the division for January (first was Joao). Surprising considering even some of his biggest fans would probably describe his form as mixed at best He is fifth overall for the season on there behind Kieff...

Think our matchday squad looked thin as we had a huge injury crisis. Esteves, Yiadom, Metie Aluko and Semedo were all on the bench for Bournemouth. Puscas and Moore are still to come back too. All i am sure people agree that they are not too out of place in the starting line up. We may lose Gibson -...
