Re: MATCHWATCH : Stockport County (a)

A fair few of us mentioned tweaking the formation to a 4-2-3-1 and fair play to Hunty for switching it up and it does seem to suit the players better and Doyle looked good as the No10 having that free role. I would like to see Elliot given the 10 spot ahead of Doyle purely as he is our player and th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stockport County (a)

Was fancying a draw until i read our injury report! If both Dorsett and Williams are out plus Garcia then i really don't fancy our chances against a robust Stockport team. Guess it will be Ahmed, Burns, Stickland and Jacob.
I guess we will just have to outscore them :D

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

Our very own "Cult Hero" Alex Fernandez from Espanyol. Played 10 games and scored a screamer against Huddersfield in the Cup. For some reason he hardly ever got played which was very harsh as the guy was a great player i guess just maybe not the right fit and he ended up falling in love w...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

A win is a win, was it deserved? Possession 29% Reading 71% Orient!! probably a draw was a fair result but good teams find a way to win and we did exactly that. Positives: Williams is a monster in defense. Burns had a stella last 20 minutes, Impact subs made a difference, Marriott showing what we we...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

I'm going for a home win, our defense was poor last time out and i think they will improve. Ahmed is young and will make mistakes and i'm sure he'll be out to prove a point. Williams had his poorest game to date and i'm sure he'll be way better. The team is way better on paper than the current resul...

Re: Rumour - Gareth Ainsworth

I assume that if it ever comes to having to negotiate compensation with a club whose manager you’ve just poached, it probably doesn’t help your case if you’ve gone on record several months earlier with your plan to do it. And whatever names Couhig had in mind in the summer doesn’t mean any of them ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

Orient is a must win game for Noel especially as its followed by Stockport away!! Our record against strong teams isn't good. There's already a points gap building just above us in 17th place, lose the next two and it's not looking great! If we become stranded i really cannot see the owner's not pul...

Re: The Local Journo Thread

Mid Sussex Royal Do the club still do pre match press conferences? We haven't had a game for nearly 2 weeks.

Actually do we even have any local journos now Earnshaw has gone?


Some guy called James Richings just did the Barnsley preview in the Chronic. Maybe he is the new guy or maybe just a temp.

Re: Fixtures 2025/26

Remember the days of getting into Reading to Elm Park for 7.30 kick offs (as was the thing across all clubs back in the 1970s/1980s) . Never really had any issues with traffic, you got to know what and where the dodgy bits were and managed your time accordingly. Having the ground not in the middle ...

Expecting a comfortable defeat tbh. 2-0 Never know though. Maybe the two weeks off have been spent well Team is going to be a bit tricky with Kelvin hopefully back and Marriott and Ritchie up to speed.

Re: Confimred - Jack Marriott

A fair few Wrexham fans not happy with this decision and seem to rate him highly!! I for one haven't really seen him play but it seems like he's a terrier in the box type of forward with decent pace. I guess we have to embrace him and hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised, anything North of 10 g...

Re: BFTG Wycombe

A positive step in the right direction, two draws away to Bolton and Wycombe isn't to bad at all. Now we need to put in another positive performance against Vale next weekend and slowly start the climb towards the middle. Noel mentioned a possible three new players next week? Personally, i think thr...

Maybe a change of formation to 5-2-3 which is Spurs favored formation in the past. *****Perieira***** Abrefa Burns Williams Dorsett Jacobs Wing Elliot Lane MOM Doyle I guess the key to this formation is the two wing backs in Abrefa and Jacobs both of which are better wing backs than full backs.

Wow, totally forgot he left Boro, how has he not been picked up yet or am i missing something here? We would be just the sort of club for someone like Carrick to make a name for himself.

Lots of Atlanta fans seem pretty gutted by this move and it looks like he was highly rated which bodes well. A few mentioned he's lost his legs so I'm guessing that's an age and fitness related thing....however at 32 he should be ok for a few more years at least especially as a CB. Its looking like ...

Would Canada being part of the commonwealth be as good as a British passport anyway? That's not the experience I recall from watching ice hockey over here - the Canadians were usually dual-UK/EU (pre-Brexit) nationals.
