Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Nope, strongest team for me - going into the summer on a win feels important to me - if we don't win, then we are 3 without a win since Rovers - fed up of us getting over a line (when we do) and immediately failing to accumulate any more points.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Tough game to call - Blackpool need it, we don't.

Big crowd, which of late, is not a good thing when it comes to positive home results but if, as rumoured, we see positive news on the takeover before the game, then this could well fire up the crowd and players.

Re: Weekend Football

Bernardo Silva played 120 minutes against Madrid and then 90 minutes against Chelsea. Matheus Nunes was an unused sub in both. I simply can’t sympathise with big clubs complaining about player welfare with fixture congestion whilst refusing to use their squad’s full depth. Read this view on Twitter...

Don't know what the rules are, but we've secured a play-off spot in Premier League 2 and can qualify for the Premier League International Cup with a win over Man City on Monday(?). The International Cup would give our U21s a minimum of four matches against foreign opposition. PSV have participated ...

Man who last played for Reading and is without a club still - posts a picture of him with in the last football kit he played in with a timer underneath.

Would we get awarded the win when did the game stop? What are the rules on a awarded win v replay I would imagine they will see what happens in the last round of games first - if it has no material impact to the final table then they may just leave it - not sure when the play-offs are due to start ...

Re: FA Cup Changes

I agree that the decision is being made because of what UEFA are imposing. However, without replays, more non league teams will get to rounds 3 4 and 5. That adds IMO excitement and intrigue to the competition. Hopefully more championship teams will get to QFs and SFs. There should be more upsets. ...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Probably anyone any good gets used in the u21s. Same will apply with our opponents. Seems unlikely for, for example, Southampton, who are top 4 Championship. Also, the relatively large number of u21 players who are in our first team squad means more opportunity in the u21s for the better u18s than ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Elm Park Kid I've been told that there could be some good news this week. We might be finally coming to an end to the saga.


If it is announced as complete before Saturday, then that will be an amazing way to end a trying campaign. Carefree home game, with potentially close to a 20k crowd. Party time.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Burton Albion (h)

Disappointing to lose but frankly Burton knew they were close to last chance saloon and to have a team like us roll up, a team who have had an incredibly stressful season but managed to scramble to safety with a game or two to go must have been a real boost. Having said that, if Smith does better wi...

Re: Royals on the Box/Internet Thread

A disaster for any match going fans who face the inconvenience of early kick-off times in order to accommodate live TV and also for the club who will be worse off. I've heard RoyalsTV is a nice revenue generator for them, particularly on a midweek when a number of STH's won't attend home matches bu...

Re: FA Cup Changes

As with most things in the world, it would be much easier if people were honest. The PL don't want their team to play less games, they just want them to play different "higher value" ones. As has been said, the FA and PL have just decided this is the way forward without obvious consultatio...
