Whilst big money signings are more "whelming," we've only had very modest success. If we think back to Kitson, Dolye, Hunt (Stephen and Noel), Long, Kebe: when Reading get the recruitment right, we get inexpensive players that really grow here. If it doesn't work out, not too much gambles ...

Sutekh Really like that Sporting kit, something like that would be most epacceptable.

Agreed, looks like it's a beauty. I assume it has a white panel on the back?

A bit robbed there. Poor referee.

What a disgrace, did they not think 100's of thousands of season ticket holders would log in at the same time Clubs/FA have probably paid them a shedload to use their service and ifollow clearly had pound signs in their eyes. Should have offered it to someone like Amazon. iFollow could have just ou...

Missed the first goal. Thanks.

Probably would have cost one month of Aluko's wages to add the extra infrastructure. They knew weeks ahead what the volume of people logging in would be. iFollow look like absolute incompetent amateur.

I have to say I just assumed this would be a farce. Unfortunatly I was right. Can't login.

ROYALJOE When does the stream on ifollow start?

They're steaming on facebook but looks like nothing on iFollow yet. Or is it just not working?

Re the criticism of our players for the third goal. Wasn’t it clear that the reason they were jogging back rather than sprinting that they were tracking the possibility of runners coming in behind them to receive a ball cut back from the touchline. It was a percentage decision taken on the premise ...

Next week will be the twentieth anniversary of me watching Reading. I've probably missed around ten to possibly fifteen home matches in those two decades. The period over which it happens varies, but the pattern is often remarkably similar: - the manager has a measure of success: players look brave,...

Pélé.
Gunter.
Méïté.
Morrison.

Not necessarily in that order.

I rate consistency really highly and is my main criterion - Swift and Ejaria have been our most skilful players at times, but also (Swift especially) the most wasteful.

I feel we're losing a bit of perspective here. WBA were extraordinarily effective at closing us down. Every time we had the ball there seemed to be two of theirs surrounding him, and more of theirs surrounding every Reading player trying to make themselves available for a pass, stopping us being abl...

48% possession
21 shots
9 on target
10 corners.

Looks like the team wanted to go through.

Fantastic. Just brilliant. Even on the radio that was a fantastic game. Loved it. Like I said earlier in the cup, you can't get excited about a bank balance, so a cup runs makes the whole heartache of watching Reading these last few years worthwhile. Next round - a strong Reading team, a few first t...

We probably thought that about Antonio. But I agree, we haven't seen enough from Loader yet.

Me: "Oh look, there's been lots of posts in Opposition fans back from the game. Always interested to see what the Forest fans are saying, I'll have a read of that.." Me (two minutes later - pages of the usual suspects engaging in pitiful bickering.): "So that's why I hardly bother wit...

Most people do not understand how they interpret information. It’s a common mistake to believe we perceive the outside world and make accurate judgements on the basis of those perceptions. Actually what we do is scan for a few stand-out elements, then match those to a form of template we already hav...

Tricky selection for Bowen. We need to concentrate on the league,but a cup run would be nice. Jao and Moore will be out,plus I would rest Swift and Ovie. Rafael Gunter Morrison Miazga Obita Pele Rino Barret Olise Baldock. Meite This looks about right to me. Maybe Loader somewhere in there? Yep, if ...

You would imagine Leeds will be a Premier League side next season, and yet Reading largely nullified their swift passing all-out attacking style to a small number of good chances. The margin was much smaller than the league table would suggest, and with just a little bit of extra luck we could have ...

Twitter virgins losing their collective minds as if we announced Adolf Hitler as manager. Agreed, utter embarrassment. Having a scroll now I see.... "protest march" "booing on announcing his name" "turning their backs upon his entrance" "off to support a non leagu...
