Burnley done by Huddersfield and Blackpool by Hartlepool already.

Anticipating a high tempo nothing to lose “battering” from Kiddy to begin with and we all know how well Reading cope with that sort of thing.

Rinomhota back

Shame the selection is, frankly, not what I’d hope for.

So when we talk about the club's poor attitude to the FA Cup....this is where we have reached recently.... 20/21 3rd round 19/20 5th round 18/19 3rd round (Man ure) 17/18 4th round 16/17 3rd round (Man ure) 15/16 quarter-finals 14/15 semi-finals Over the last 7 seasons, if we avoid those painful pl...

We've never lost to a team in the FA Cup starting with the letter 'K'. Our record is actually quite outstanding. Beating Kettering 4-2 in both 1960 and 1979. Surely that's a good sign :D :D Great fact! For the record Kidderminster, Kettering and Kings Lynn are the only English teams beginning with ...

probably worth seeing what the actual team is before roasting Pauno for selecting it I read it as some rotation but a similar team to Derby I think a strong team has to be fielded, naming a largely U23s team will spell trouble and do a complete disservice to all at the game. A bad result would also...

According to ya ITK man on twitter, Ovie isn't vaccinated and lives with 7 relatives, so has to isolate every time one of them gets covid. That’s ridiculous and unsustainable going forward. Of course the high comedy in all this is that if you’re vaccinated you can still get it and odd it on :lol:

Given the current situation I would opt to play the strongest side possible as the players need to be back to match sharpness ASAP. There also needs to be some stability, confidence and understanding put into the squad and chopping and changing players about for the sake of it isn’t the best of idea...

So the utter mess that is Reading’s injury list has improved very slightly. The amended list now seems to be: Ejaria Drinkwater Morrison Moore Meite Joao McIntyre Rinomhota Presume you also can add Ashcroft to the above for a couple of games after his concussion yesterday. Plus Rahman Yiadom who are...

Definitely not. Probably need a Mark McGhee or Alan Pardew type ie young, “hungry” and anxious to show what he can do rather than another unknown from off the continent.

Out. The football is just not very good given the restrictive tactics/formation being applied and the high number of continually injured players is beyond ridiculous so reckon there must also be something wrong with the club’s fitness policy/training programme.

It really doesn’t help that the team sits back so much, issues have to lie with the management and the continual lack of threat, there’s never much of an outlet with everyone so deep.

Another 3 points thrown away. Sick of the lack of threat going forward in the final stages of games and the ridiculous number of second half goals being conceded. Home form really is a &@£&£ joke yet again.

If Reading are leading and there’s half an hour or less left you just know that the chances of them presenting any problems to the opposition defence are virtually nil.

CountryRoyal woke up the crowd

Is this another new politically correct term of which we all need to be aware?

And Ashcroft joins the injury list to be replaced by Araruna who hasn’t played in about 16 months.

Blimey!

Not really too much from Reading so far, seem to have spent the last 10 minutes giving Derby as much as possible.
