I actually think we were 2-0 down at half time if that game is the play-off season and McGhee was still around then. Remember Simon Osborn scoring.... I'm pretty sure we were along the touchline somewhere as the ground was in the middle of re-development; I could be completely wrong though and that...

Wigan have been winning for fun at home for the last year and get less than us.

Wigan is a Rugby League town. HTH

Literally no idea what the score might be, but to lose at home to a Nigel Adkins side would rip the bones from my back.

Cue PNE to sack their manager on Monday. Always happens after a defeat by Reading.

Thank fukk for that, I thought we were in a bit of trouble there for a minute

Just heard his interview on BBC RB and nothing in it convinced me that he's up to the job. Just a load of meaningless platitudes and clichés - "we are where we are" being the pick of them. Interestingly though, when Tim Dellor did ask him about Clement's position, he went very quiet, quite...

Doesn't matter who the manager is at the moment, the squad is not good enough. Clement probably has enough in his locker to get us out of trouble this season but as to where we go from there, who knows. Until the squad is dismantled and rebuilt from goalkeeper upwards we're going nowhere.

Errrr, yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KveFiNkPG3Q Jesus H Christ on a bike if this is the level of intel on which we've signed this player then god help us. It's got the makings of a Carl Asaba level fukk up from what I can see. Anyone think he's going to show up on December afternoon in Rot...

Our xG cumulation plot from the game shows we were completely unable to generate meaningful chances once being one down. (Approx) 0.6 xG built up in the first half / before their goal, with only 0.3 xG built in the second half / after their goal. https://experimental361.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/...

Well I sat through the whole 94 minutes and what little we did create was through Kelly or Swift so I'm broadly in agreement with SR/IR. Myler however was bog standard I'm afraid. I sincerely hope his form improves. Also not really getting the love for Meite, he seems an extremely limited footballer...

Last 25 games at fortress Madejski, W5 D8 L12. something needs to change before fans desert us in their droves. personally pissed off with having my Saturday night ruined, and the cat has left home. They are deserting already with only 13,300 today. It was very quiet outside the ground pre kick off...

What an utterly dispiriting game. We never looked like scoring and looked lightweight up against a well drilled Bolton side. No width whatsoever and hence no service to the strikers. I'm not getting the baiting of Swift, he was the only one who looked likely to create anything at all for us. Likewis...

Denver Royal Was bummed the week Cardiff bought him, for only 30k

No wonder that sticks in your memory! . Still, I expect the £30k set you up nicely in 1976

Norfolk Royal Robin was also one of the first in Reading to become a Teddy Boy in the 50s.

Bizarre post award goes to NR. However Robin Friday did play a couple of games for Reading's Youth team in 1968/9 season.

genome RE: Aluko. I didn't think he was bad last night. He looked motivated, ran with purpose. He got lucky with the break of the ball at times but he looked positive.

Playing for a move, obvs...

2005/6, lost the first game of the season 1-2 at home. Went on to get 106 points. Just saying like...

royalp-we Mannone
Yiadom McShane Ilori Richards
Swift Meyler Kelly
Aluko Meite Barrow

Basically what we started against Palace

It's going to be a long night

As is usually the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Evans is certainly not a player for whom League One is his ceiling and neither is he destined for greatness. With the right breaks, attitude and hard work in the right environment he could make a quality Championship player or maybe even...

Stranded He is not available tomorrow night

Why is this? Just asking like.

Say it three times in a row and it might come true
