I expect it will be a close game, that won't end 0-0, decided by just one goal between the sides, if not a score draw. We've scored at least one goal 16 games in a row, firing blanks in only three league games this season... two of which we opened with. In other words we've failed to score in just ...

From Despair To Where? These Ritchie puns are almost taking the biscuit.

On a grey Sunday afternoon, seriously lads, this is just too much

ILoveMoonPig Or, thinking about it another way, Ritchie's goal involvements per minute is absolutely insane right now.

I bet he was celebrating all night long after that performance

If he ever scores will that be a Matt finish?

Think we safely class the winner against Bradford as a Matt finish.

It does seem like Ritchie doesn't have the legs to complete a full 90 so we do seem to be getting the best out of him as an impact sub against a tiring defence. Would certainly seem that way and let's hope that Matt can have a strong end to the season. P.S Eliminating the random bookings would also...

Just home, my tuppence worth, a pretty miserable afternoon, we weren`t very good but neither were they, hardly touched us until JP let a harmless shot go through his hands, he`s a good keeper but he`s made a few mistakes recently as well as giving us heart palpitations with the ball at his feet. Is...

Millsy Looked like an easy and deserved 4-0 win coming for us, PV were awful, worst side I've seen.

Well done Reading.

[quote="Snowflake Royal"]Unbelievable. Dorsett once again playing the game in slow motion to be beaten to that ball for the cross to score. Wish the game had been called off, that pitch was absymal and our inability to play on it stopped us winning.[/quote Old school pitch. No excuses. See...

Well guys we haven’t done that well down there in recent times so let’s see what happens tomorrow. As said above, our star loaner Amario Cozier-Duberry is out injured but we did sign two experienced replacements in Blackett-Taylor from Derby and Apter from Charlton who both have promotion and Champ...

A win, but a shocking performance. Just do not think that Richardson knows how to set us up to get the maximum from the players at his disposal and I do not think he can make us better. He is walking a very thin tightrope. Wycombe must be totally baffled at how they lost that game. Bolton on Tuesda...

How on earth did the Ding win that football match? Talk about daylight robbery. Surprised the players weren't wearing masks

It generally shows that we've improved since LR was appointed - but it is worth noting that NH was handicapped by lack of signings at the start of the season. Still think that overall it was the right decision to change managers. Do you agree so too, as I know at the start you said that it was a mi...

The Cap Ref's having a great game. We sure he's not related to Paudie?

He’s the one that fell for Wimbledon’s antics.

Ah right. Nice to see him level things up then.

leon Sounds like it was a good match to miss.

In the cold light of day how bad was it actually?

Just a tiny bit more enjoyable than catching your foreskin in your zipper, but at least it wasn`t cold.

Thanks for providing a laugh amongst all the doom and gloom, windermere. Nice one mate.

If the lads can't beat this lot, they need to have a serious word with themselves.

Ritchie suspended for this one ? Ritchie was booked v Rotherham I think. If that’s correct he will be suspended for this game as it was his 5th booking of the season. Reading FC current player discipline table: Player - #of bookings Daniel Kyerewaa - 5 (suspension served) Matt Ritchie - 5 (1 game s...

No idea scorewise. Can see the Ding winning this one though.

A few years back a mate of mine got shown around a house by Mick Gooding. Apparently he was really good with my mate's young daughter, asking her if she liked the house and about school and stuff in a genuine and non-patronising way. Left a lasting impression on his wife and daughter, which is nice...
