Think Popa is injured. I expect Kelly to be rested and also a start for Bacuna. Maybe see Rinamohta get a game ahead of Gunter again? Otherwise, reckon that's quite close. Gives McCleary and Obita some much needed game time and perhaps Beerens as well. Why would Rinomhota (note spelling!) get a gam...
we're going to have to disagree Hound. The players have all, bar Kelly, fallen short. They were given the opportunity to be Championship players and they didn't achieve it. None of them who went out on loan showed anything close to the levels of performance expected. It's disappointing and hopefull...

think this is good news, though not let out a lot of detail yet. At least its not bloody BT: Sky will be able to stream midweek Championship matches after agreeing a new five-year rights deal worth £600m with the English Football League. All EFL clubs will be able to stream midweek league games via...
Bloke in front of me was hilarious yesterday. Moaning when we kept possession at the back wanting the ball p,aged forward. Then screaming irately when we hoofed the ball upfield to no one in particular. We really aren't set up to play any long balls as there are too many gaps between our players. S...
Wasn't there, but reading these comments it seems like the same old same old from last season. Ponderous build up and no cutting edge? A passing/possession game is only any good if played at pace, otherwise it is just tedious and gives the oppo too much time to get themselves back into shape and th...
Too early to judge Aluko but why did we actually buy him? Seems very similar to what we already have here, decent enough player, but does he actually improve us? Think he will do when he gets more time in with the team, there were a number of times when he clearly wasn't on the same wavelength. Als...
As much as I am in agreement with this guy's behaviour being less than acceptable, as I too have seen this first hand home and away, I think it's a bit unfair you ousting him on a message board like this. A little bit playground. How would you like it if people were banding your name and image arou...
Cripes, I've just had a look at our record against Millwall and it's pretty ridiculous, our good run stretches back to 2002 Won: 12 Drawn: 4 Lost: 1 I was joking to another Reading fan at work that we always beat Millwall but blimey we have had their number for a while. Well I'm going, so with my h...
Still too soon for the PL Cardiff & Ipswich Fleetwood, Peterborough, Shrewsbury, & Wigan Man Utd - they're a little bit of a concern but haven't played anyone they shouldn't have beaten Cardiff - not Colin, please not Colin Soon be time to start looking at the 106 Agree with this. They are ...
Probably calculating this wrong but my workings are showing we should've got £1,125,000 from the Gylfi sale to Everton I've always wondered whether we had a sell-on for Gylfi even though there's been no evidence to suggest we have (unlike Antonio who i'm convinced we got money for after his moves t...
No he left in June and has not been back to Hogwood since. Still looking for new job. No he didn't leave in June, he was managing the U21s at Colchester on Tuesday .... Someone who was there said he wasn't and Gilkes actually managed that game? Also, u21s? Didn't think that was a thing anymore? App...
Fair enough - but a 'proven' goalscorer is not an easy find As I've mentioned elsewhere I think there maybe was a couple of players we could have looked at But thats just not true, there are astronomical amounts of players worldwide. Why is everyone obsessed with UK based players? You know how many...
https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2017/september/michael-gilkes-appointed-as-first-team-coach is that leigertwood behind him in the pic? Yes, but he's some sort of youth coach I believe. Think he's the sort of liaison for players out on development loans. I'm sure that can't be full time though, so ...
Because of Carabao Cup fixture clash. The one remaining Round Two fixture of this season’s Carabao Cup between Barnsley and Derby County is now to be moved to Tuesday 12th September – and that switch requires the rearrangement of our home fixture against the Tykes and the Derby’s league game against...
however he gets on when he is on the pitch, he seems to be about the nicest footballer out there not seen anything other than lovely things said about him. What have we bought? a footballer or a Diplomat Get your point, but tbf, as a rule we've over-achieved when our players are all nice guys who w...
So based on this, say we have paid £4m up front with additional payments due for apperances, promotion etc - would it be correct that we would actually spread the £4m over 4 years, so only £1m off this season's budget. Any add-ons will only be added when they come due. So say £1m is due for 50 appe...
