Re: Rival Watch

I am concerned but not too worried about what happens on the pitch as I believe the players and the gaffer will get a few points yet. I am more concerned about Stupid Owner Tricks and point deductions Dai may 'earn' Reading FC. The next late payment to HMRC will almost certainly be a 6 point deducti...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

No, just wondering if there was any news on the takeover of Reading FC My source told me today that things are positive. There are multiple offers that meet Dai's valuation and are (on the face of it) viable. They're still going through validation, but the preferred buyer is one who should clear EF...

Reading FC's 2023-24 edition is the Florence Nightingale team of League One - every team they play gets better.

Still 45 minutes to get themselves started. Come out a more determined side in the second half and turn this match around.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Huddersfield Town (h) sponsored by Craig Maskell

Saturday - in 90 minutes away, Reading had 16 shots, with 10 on target and 5 goals. Today, it's 7 shots, with one on target for no goals in 60 minutes at home. Is Huddersfield that much better than Luton Town (4 points as it stands)?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Huddersfield Town (h) sponsored by Craig Maskell

Maybe it's just me, but I feel Reading at home play not to lose, planning for a late goal and a 1-0 win while on the road they try to bring the game to their opponents. IMO, not a valid home plan, and it has cost them this season... and well may again tonight.

Down to 27% now, per the BBC. As we saw with Stamball, it's not always how long you have possession, but what you do with it that counts.

Per the BBC, Reading's last shot was at 52'...

Nice to see the win out, but the last 20 minutes or so were a bit tense. Three needed points and a step upwards in the Table.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Huddersfield Town (a) sponsored by Steve Francis

Miazga's injury a worry, but it seems McIntyre did well (with the exception of a missed clearance) in his place to help secure the clean sheet. Young McIntyre may see a lot of game time if Miazga is out for an extended period.

Goals... I seem to recall reading that those things change games... now, where might that have been? Despite the possession stats, we have had 4 attempts on target to their 2. Sometimes, it's not how long you have the ball but what you do with it when you do have it. We've been on the wrong end of ...
