Pre Season games 2025/6

[Sutekh]

Looks like the Pompey game isn't available on Royals TV... is it showing anywhere else?

It’s available on Pompey’s service.

It’s nice to see for the final preseason friendly at home that bbc berks can’t be arsed to provide any commentary ‘cos Tim would rather go to watch a load of horses running round in a circle #defundthebbc

Really wish they had a rival providing a service too then we might get something worth listening to and not quite so

[Snowflake Royal]

Ok so Jacobs is slow as oxf*rd.

[Sutekh]

0-1 already

Really need to find some firepower, 180+ minutes so far v league sides and zero goals.

[Snowflake Royal]

Big Kelvin looking tasty. Wing, Elliott and Savage combing well.

Garcia is so not a winger.

Hmm. Not sure about Jacobs at all on this showing.

[retro royal]

Not sure about East End commentator hope he isn't for the season, Matty Jacobs hasn't started well

[retro royal]

Well this is Oxford miserable to watch 0-2

[Sutekh]

0-2

Performance is frankly ****** awful, play anything like this next week and the season will be very very long.

[Snowflake Royal]

What the actual oxf*rd is this from the defence. They're not marking anyone and they're all slow as oxf*rd

[Snowflake Royal]

It's weird, thought we defended well against Gillingham and Spurs on the whole, looking like we had a solid base and just needed some forward threat. Now we look calamitous at the back.

0-2

No, we'd just lose our opening game.

Abrefa and Jacobs having poor games and not being helped by the midfield a lot

They are beating our press and they are pressing successfully more often than not

[traff]

And people were worried about our attack
Can see why Noel has kept the secret weapon of Jacob under wraps until now.

[windermereROYAL]

Twitter is hilarious.

[Sutekh]

0-3

Defence is a comedy masterclass. Holmes could out pace most of them.

[Snowflake Royal]

oxf*rd hilarious goal.

Well, get it out your system now lads.

[Orion1871]

Blatant push in the back from the Portsmouth attacker tbf. Should have dealt with it better after that though.

[Sutekh]

Have Reading actually managed to touch the ball in the Pompey box yet?

[traff]

Oh well, at least we have a full pre season ahead to iron out all these little wrinkles.

[Hound]

Do worry about Abrefa.

Definitely lacking pace at the back - in itself not nec a huge issue but Noel needs to adapt the system

Not really created a lot either, Kelvin E done some fairly good stuff but not a lot for the strikers to work with

[Snowflake Royal]

Have Reading actually managed to touch the ball in the Pompey box yet?

Well O'Mahoney and Garcia have both done hilarious air kicks...

O'Connor won a head I think.
