Our last 7 games have produced 12 points, albeit the wins were at the start and the games easier on paper than our last 7, if we repeated that over the remaining games it would mean 75 points. That may or may not be enough.... looking back most seasons it would be, but anything goes from now on in, ...

Very similar, but can't see us getting a result v Cardiff Derby (h) W Rooney tends to rotate with 2 games in quick succession and they are looking safer. Straightforward win Watford (a) L Can't see anything here Cardiff (h) L We've struggled since Christmas against long ball sides, and they are a ma...

Not good - we've really under performed this season

I'm sure Ollie Kearns used to miss sitters every week (that's how it felt) but would then score a difficult chance in the same game

Reading 1-0 Derby HT
Reading 2-1 Derby FT

Reading to Score First in First Half <<<<<


SEQUENCE

1-0 Reading 11 ( Puscas, alt Meite)
================
2-0 Reading 64 (Moore)
2-1 Derby 78

Games getting harder and harder to predict with Cardiff, Swansea and Brentford (currently) losing to sides in the bottom 8 and Norwich drawing to a side hopelessly out of form

i've really no idea how this will all pan out

Swift available Monday though

Yes - Preston equaliser 90+5

Mixed so far, Bournemouth winning and Cardiff losing

So that means Norwich is the only remaining Saturday 3pm game, assuming they change the time for the last game.

Anyone know how much Sky pay to cover a live game?

Puscas just sent off for Romaina, straight red, winning 2-1 (he hasn't scored)

Not injured but can't see Puscas being involved on Friday given he's starting for Romania today

Barnsley 0-1 Reading HT
Barnsley 0-1 Reading FT

Reading to Score First IN First HALF <<<<<<<<

0-1 (24) Olise (alt Meite)

This is a game to try out the false fall back role that Pep uses to help overcome the high press.

Seriously - I just think we will win this, narrowly, as the game is massive for both sides and I think with the rest and prep we have better players than Barnsley at the end of the day.

Parky interview available on the The Tilehurst End site Interesting what he said about the Tommy Burns era, thought we'd have had a much better chance of staying up by making slight amendments using the existing players rather than the 8 deadline day signings. Difficult one - confidence was shot to...

Probably not the right thread but read an article on line from Rod Liddle (Sunday Times) re the promotion race where he bigs up Barnsley (underdogs etc - I get that) but then starts talking about the other sides....re us he says "Reading - Lucas Joao excepted - are awful" goes on to say we...

I get that Puscas has not been an unqualified success, but I wouldn’t call him a failure in the way the interview suggests he is. They criticise his production this season yet fail to point out he's been out injured for 5 months. We were first linked with Puscas about 2 years before we signed him. ...

I missed it but according to Twitter Pauno was on Radio Berks saying Swift in contention for Barnsley along with Morro and Yiadom

Third goal V Bournemouth for the passing and movement leading up to it

Article of Bowen criticising aspects of Puscas’ signing https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/mark-bowen-issues-honest-thoughts-on-reading-fcs-signing-of-george-puscas/ I don’t think his overall assessment of him is particularly wrong https://mobile.twitter.com/secondtierpod/status/1374981518637010947 ...
