Re: Striker STILL urgently required - can we wait until January?

I agree we need another striker, but do we not think Lewis Wing would create more goal scoring opportunities for our current strike force and score more goals himself if he wasn't playing sweeper, sometimes behind the back four?

Re: Players at Reading who you had completely forgotten about

Mario Noto is one I always remember (so technically not forgotten), simply because he was listed on the bench or squad at Millwall away and we all had no idea who he was. 0 First team appearances. From Spurs I signed for Reading FC and played under Brendan Rodgers and Alan Padrew. I was involved wit...

Re: Are Reading fans unfairly critical of black players?

I would add also, our fanbase does seem to be much more white than the general demographics of Reading. I don't know if that's some generational effect going on (ie. parents supporting Reading taking their kids to games) which contributes to this, some general footballing effect or something else. ...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Academy funding is very opaque I believe the academy expenditure (and womens team expenditure) is excluded from Profit & Sustainability calculations, so there is a benefit to allocating a higher share of costs to this than is actually received, be that half the cost of the physio team and facil...

Re: 4-4-2

If we had two quality strikers that worked well as a pairing and were scoring goals then we'd likely play 2 up front and then we could look at 4-4-2 but we'd have to have good wingers who can cross the ball in and a midfield who can cope in a 3 on 2 situation So in summary, if we had a completely d...

Re: Wycombe away

Parked 25 minutes away from the ground.... route there involved walking down some very steep hills which we knew would hurt walking back, especially after 90 minutes of standing and it sure did. I guess you get used to it if you live there, so much so that you can probably join the Ghurkas.

Hello all Having previously been a regular attendee for the best part of two decades, work and family took me away and I am returning for the first time in nearly ten years.
