Just a side note: One of the Asst Referees today (Alan Higgs) used to referee my kids' games over twenty years ago, When I mentioned that, he told me that he will be 72 this year but he has to keep going as it gets him away from his wife!

This was the first time that I've seen the Women's team play since their catastrophic demise courtesy of Dai and his mates. No disrespect to those involved with the team now but it really did bring home how far we have dropped down the pyramid. IMO substitutions and one seemingly shocking decision f...

Just reading about London Lionesses and their new "wealthy" American owner Michele Kang. Wonder if she is the woman Couhig said wanted to take over the RFC Women's team. I think she’d already bought the Lionesses before that. I think there was a wife of an American footballer (funny shape...

Our 19 (the player we’ve got as a dual registration from Swindon?) is an absolute class above most of the other players on the pitch today!

Many thanks for your detailed notes Clyde. He's been very unhappy with the EFL's punishment of the club, especially when it comes down to contract restrictions - players who could've had resell value were lost on free transfers. And that is one of the many reasons why the EFL in its current form isn...

How many subs are we allowed on the bench at this level? It looks like we named five. Allowed 5 substitutes, but unlimited substitutions - "A Player who has been substituted becomes a substitute and may replace a Player at any time". Goes up to 7 substitutes (but only 5 substitutions) at ...

Royals and Racers 3-1 57 mins Whitburn
4-1 90 + 3 Hayes

Same result as last season, should that be a concern?

I wouldn't have thought so. Sometimes it's quite hard, no matter how poor the opposition, to kick on beyond 4. Will be interesting to hear the views of those that were there though.

Really need to go on and win this convincingly, given how much the squad has been strengthened.

And they did! 4-1

Performance poor again and against very limited opposition and like Brogue and a number of others I'm not convinced by Hunt/coaches. Hopefully the win and clean sheet will build confidence and I would wholly expect to see a tangible improvement in the next block of games given we have 2 weeks to wo...

Would rather have Michael…. Anyway back to Jack, just watched the highlights reel and he is a proper little poacher. Hadn’t quite realised how many of his goals were rebounds or loose balls. This might actually work for us. The amount of times we do really good link up play and there is no one ther...

right, i'm told we are still are a big hold up striker. no clue as to who atm It’s Nick Jackson isn’t it. Would rather have Michael…. Anyway back to Jack, just watched the highlights reel and he is a proper little poacher. Hadn’t quite realised how many of his goals were rebounds or loose balls. Th...

One imagines that this glowing synopsis of his glittering career is from his LinkedIn profile? Almost as if his background is in marketing and promotion. Should have kept referring to it as WWFC all the way through. People would assume that was Wolves and not a club that went nowhere and achieved n...

I guess it's fairly normal to recruit people you've worked with before if you think they did a good job back then. However, the risk of doing that too much is that you miss out on new blood and fresh ideas. Furthermore, I would suggest that Reading and Wycombe are very different clubs/businesses, so...

Not sure why the club wait for a fortnight after the player herself (Sarah Thompson) has announced on social media that they've joined us before making the official announcement!

Is pretty good at scoring goals against us. We played four games against Huddersfield in 2015/16 and he scored in every game! One of those irritating little players to play against. Had a brief spell on loan at Charlotte FC in MLS a season or so ago but didn't make much impact as wasn't fully match ...

traff "We found rhythm, belief, and got our reward" | Noel on Hard-Fought Point at Bolton

Just had a newsletter from the club with this header.

If Noel thinks that we have rhythm I really don't want to listen to his playlists.

And we probably need a pacemaker fitted too!
