Re: Injury watch 2021/22

Ince admits why we may have so many injuries. We don't stretch enough. Clearly that's from bad coaching. https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ince-reading-transfer-west-brom-23814660 Possibly, but professional footballers should know how much they need to stretch before a game/...

Re: Rival Watch

Have also seen the fans weren’t too chuffed with him It’s hard to understand from the outside, turned them into a solid to good champ side, don’t remember them spending any sort of money either. And they always seem reasonable to watch. And he comes over a half decent bloke. Weird one In contrast (a...

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Bromwich Albion (h)

Ince, Holmes and Azeez ruled out for the season! which sounds devastating however, its only two games :D I guess its good news we're confirmed safe, this season's injury curse isn't quite finished with us just yet.

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Bromwich Albion (h)

So that is the last we see of Tom Ince in a Reading shirt as I doubt we could afford his wages to even get him on a free from Stoke. Personally, I wasn't too sure about having him here initially, but he has not only done really well but has genuinely seemed up for the fight and part of the team. We...

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Bromwich Albion (h)

Dont know about you guys but I am really looking forward to seeing Olise play against WBA, who you think he should replace Ince or Hoilett? I would as well But sadly he had a release clause in his contract which meant he was able to leave to Palace for a value less than what he was worth. Whether t...

Re: Next Reading Manager

Yep Warburton would be ok. did very well with QPR up until the last couple of months (they were on a roll until they smashed us)

Should be considered

See some people on Twitter getting all excited about Carvahal. That’d be a no from me

Re: Relegation

Not sure we’d have found a taker for Moore - and dunno what the wage bill limit for d1 would have been but presumably considerably less than 16m And Moore taking up a near 2m chunk of that As long As we are sensible this year I don’t think we should necessarily fear the financial implications of rel...

Re: MATCHWATCH : West Bromwich Albion (h)

I might be making this up but didn’t Bellingham sign a contract with Brum the season he left? Olise was just never going to sign another deal. Also worth noting that we were under embargo then in terms of contracts we could offer. This also potentially stopped us offering Richards a deal until it wa...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Yeah Castore stuff looks nice. They do Windies kit and Newcastle FC I think

It’s quite premium priced stuff though.

I’d be delighted if we stuck with macron tbh. Really like the quality and designs

Re: Next Reading Manager

Wasn't the squad average around £16k per week at the beginning of this season? Objective is around £8k per week. 50% is a serious haircut to take. Falling revenues aren't going to help matters. Falling revenues won’t hit the wage bill limit Think the 16m is perfectly doable with staying competitive...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

This. A friends son plays for another Championship club that have all of their kit supplied by Macron and they're notoriously slow at supplying kit to all clubs. Who remembers the first season we had them as our supplier and in the pre-season tour we played in Grey and black? Basically, if you don'...

Happy with Ian’s team above

See Bruce has told all the players they need to live within an hour of WBA next season

Guess that’s big Andy out the door then - suspect he might not play Saturday either

FFP will soon be an issue too. AFC Bournemouth released their latest results (up to 30th June 2021) at the end of March. "The statements cover a year in which the club was relegated from the Premier League to the EFL Championship. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the delayed 2019/20 season meant ...

Well I suppose that’s pretty funny in itself

Still a forest win at Bournemouth would still get them above them unless Swansea concede another

Re: Can we find 3 teams worse than us next season?

We’ve been extremely unlucky with injuries this season, and it’s reasonable to expect that we will be less unlucky next season. The same could be said for form. That said, as it stands out squad will probably look something like… Southwood (Nyland?) Yiadom Dann, McIntyre, Holmes (Thomas?) (Nobody) ...
