Royal_jimmy We've bemoaned how bad our away midweek record is. But since 2018/19 our home record is nearly as dire in the league.
Played 27:
Won 7
Drawn 3
Lost 17
Points: 24
So in the past 3 seasons we've lost 63% of our home games on a Tuesday or Wednesday night.
That is absolutely disgusting.

Nuts but fully believable

HoundNathStPaulHound Not read through a lot but any indication on where Ejaria and Moore particularly are? Are they actually injured. Seems to have been very little said about either of them
I read that Moore is at the centre of some sort of racism row within the club. Ejaria is unvaccinated and keeps being in contact with people with COVID. Not sure how true either rumours are.
Yeah that’s the little bits I’ve heard, along with Pauno’s mention of off the field issues which I’d guessed is related to the pair of them

paultheroyal The other thing that has pee'd me off about last night - the amount of people, people i have not heard from in weeks, months and in one case a year who have contacted me through facebook or text saying....
"go to the game last night?"
"whats happened to Reading FC"
"why dont you support a proper team"
"This bloke is worse than Bullivant"
and repeat

Snowflake RoyalURZZZZYorkshireRoyal99 We haven't had an out and out winger since Mo Barrow really. I still can't quite work out why we didn't keep him as he was electric and would score important goals for us, he was a good player. Must have been wanting to move on and potentially wages as well.
McCleary, Kebe and McAnuff were probably the one's from the past. I know McCleary only left recently but he was on the fringes during his last couple of seasons.
I always thought Barrow was as much a problem as he was an answer. By all accounts, his attitude was really poor and the way he’s jumped from club to club probably supports that. Doesn’t take away how important his goals were in the couple of seasons he was here but he wasn’t the sort of character you’d keep around for long term success. Beerens was another winger too who made a positive contribution until Stam thought he was a ST and he seems mentally shot from then on in. Was a lot of split opinions on him though
And yeah, whilst I’ve repeatedly called for them to be signed, can fully accept we have signed plenty of duds there recently, Popa, Sims, Masika etc etc
Now if zip wants a player who REALLY couldn’t tackle there's Mo Barrow.
I still remember Moore having to literally physically drag him into position from an oppo goal kick because he was so utterly clueless about the defensive or teamwork side of the game

Normally agree with a fair amount of what Zip says but think he’s harsh on Halilovic. He’s a little careless with his passes but he plays at a higher tempo than almost any of the other midfielders. Whilst he isn’t a world beater, I think we’re a better team with him than without

Then unless unwell should be back by Saturday? Don’t know the rules nowadays but if he has Covid now would he have to keep isolating if he has not been vaccinated?
