What's happened to Basil Tuma? He was injured in pre-season but then went off with Malta over the IB and even got a few minutes. Not featured for the Unders or senior team recently though

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Sticking my neck out, I thought MOM's cameo last night was better from him and he did well to get on the end Kelvin's cross. It was a tough chance and more a good save from the N'hampton GK than a miss for him. He did look better and even though it wasn't obvious from 1871, after that attempt I rec...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

You don't get three separate "you don't know what you're doing" chants if you had a good game. Given how thick, partisan and unaware of the rules many football fans are, this is a laughable statement. You should try attending a match with a qualified ref then you would get a running comme...

Re: Injury watch 2025/26

Jack felt him hamstring on Sunday, he felt fine after the game but woke up sore… we couldn’t risk him tonight - he’ll probably be a doubt for Saturday

Matt Ritchie took a knee up the glute tonight, which has swollen up massively.

Sutekh How bad is Marriott’s injury?


Does Hobnob have any ITKs any more or did Mr Couhig plug all the leaks?

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

A lot of the discussion here seems to revolve around sacking Noel Hunt which comes with a certain amount of emotion attached Perhaps the discussion should really be around sacking the Manager of Reading - In business-speak It is the role not the person that needs to be reassigned You would expect th...

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

Given his all = totally irrelevant Sleepwalking towards relegation with a charlatan = totally relevant Would prefer to be relegated with a Reading man in charge than finish 17th with some random bloke running the show.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

After the exertions against Cardiff the lads will be tired and likely carrying a few knocks so given the quick turnaround in matches and lack of rest we'll be fortunate to get a draw Northampton have had the same turnaround and had further to travel I nearly put that on my earlier post but as I was...

Re: Injury watch 2025/26

This implies that a goalkeeper (Joel Pereira?) could be (seriously) injured -

Reading Football Club can confirm that goalkeeper Tom Norcott has been recalled from his loan spell at National League side Woking.

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

Jacobson, Carey and possibly Couhig need to get Hunt into an office for a formal review. Give him the standard performance review questions: We’re not where we expected to be at this time of the season. Can you explain why? What are you going to do to change the situation and get us back on track? ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (a)

Fortunately the relegation zone only counts for anything after 46 games have been played. So long as at that point we are 20th or above then there's "nothing to worry about". In fact, the team that finished 20th is effectively in the same situation as the team who loses the Play Off Final ...

Re: Hunt out.

What is a realistic target for this season? If it's simply not to get relegated then we can hang on to Hunt for a while yet. If it is promotion or at least play-offs then has that ship already sailed, regardless of manager? Either way, I don't expect Couhig to let Hunt go any time soon

Re: Hunt out.

I wonder if, like the summer striker hunt, we'll dilly and dally too long and any "decent" managers that are currently available will be snapped up before we have a chance to approach them? Also, who out of our highly experienced recruitment team (Couhig, Joe Johnson) will select the new m...
