EIGHT for stoppages

This is going to be a long long last 2 minutes + probably 5 for injury

Mbengue coming on for Hoilett

CountryRoyal We’re so wasteful. Had to be a goal.

Seems to be a bit of a problem this season. Reading are missing too many after getting themselves into good positions.

CountryRoyal Lumley is 1000% going to get a yellow.

So, it’ll only be his third of the season.

windermereROYAL When Huddersfield went up they had a minus GD

Hoping Reading can emulate…

tidus_mi2 Just 3rd with a -4 GD

Let’s hope they can cling on. Feel like there could be a kitchen sink or to arriving as inevitably Reading get deeper and Wigan go for it.

Inch-wincey striker

Wyke is on for them, he can be serious handful. Nathan Broadhead too, he’s another forward and on loan from Everton.

CountryRoyal Rahman needs to run down the line then, too defensive minded.

It’s now Ra-maan listening to Tim & Mick!

Rahman starts, Loum drops to bench. Carroll and Mbengue both on bench.



So Carroll will likely get the last 15/20 mins or so unless something dictates otherwise.

Still managerless, Bracknell drew 2-2 at Chesham in the cup. Took the lead with a penalty in the second half then trailed 2-1 until George Knight restored parity in the 95th minute.

Replay on Tuesday at Bottom Meadow (7.45ko).

Bumping this to update, because I keep discovering more close relations of our players who are professional footballers. Louie Holzmann is the nephew of Jake Cooper Just to expand a little, Alan Cooper (played for Reading 1969-72) is Louie Holzman’s grandad and Jake Cooper is his uncle. And then th...

Maxim Denom is his name. Whilst not classed as an oligarch he made his millions from fuel. He originally bought a 50% share in the club costing £850,000 ten years ago not a lot for a then 3rd tier club. However since then he has pumped £160 million to subsidise the clubs rise to the premier league....

Really happy to have him back. One of the bright spots of last season and someone who we can be sure cares. Should actually fit in better this season based on most of what we’ve seen so far.

Seems to be sounds that Mason Greenwood is slowly being integrated back into football. Is it not just that he has been included in the PL squad as a U21 player (and so doesn't use any of the quota of 25), and people have noticed, but that he remains suspended by the club? There has been a significa...

Ron waving his magic wand Bruce must be very close to the boot after that result Brum don’t look too bad mind you. Similar set up to us teamwise. Lots of cast offs, veterans and loans but grinding out points They’ll be their usual tricky selves, probably more down than up, but enough to stay up. As...
