The losses aren't of any concern to me, it's what they mean for the rest of the season. And three in a row in that manner has really bad connotations, whilst three scattered throughout the games so far would be of no concern at all. Can only go 2 ways now. Meite and Ejaria return for Bournemouth an...

Football's funny isn't it, distribute those 3 losses in amongst the first 8 games and no-one bats an eyelid I was thinking this earlier, and would have much preferred that. Unless your San Marino any team losing 3 games in a row, 2 of which at home, against average opposition is always going to suc...

Issue is that there are around 14 top players in Reading’s squad after that it’s youthful inexperience that may (or may not) be good enough. A run of concurrent injuries and/or suspensions and the club starts struggling for results. Have to hope the club can hang around the top 6 until January and t...

Live SKY record since August 2017 currently reading

Played 13, Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 9

Another 4 games on the way in the next month

Have Stoke actually created anything that wasn’t teed up for them by **** defending?

Royal_jimmy When is Liam Moore back?

He has been a huge miss

Broken foot. Months. Shame we couldn't bring Miazga back.

So the club saying it’s tissue damage and Liam having an outside chance of playing today is wide of the mark then

And the defending goes from cr@p to utter ****

Game now over.

Can’t turn the annoying “fan drone” off

Royal Ginger Stoke looked very tall walking out of the tunnel

Now you just know which game Reading will put a lot of crosses up in the air then.

Have I missed the first 30 minutes, only Reading have had 2 on target shots in 5 minutes.

Snowflake Royal Reading have spent big, but don't have big money.

Er... the owner is a billionaire.

Observation is technically correct, the money is the same size as at other clubs.

Stoke XI

Anyone take a point out of this one if it was offered? Think I would.

Think dropping McIntyre is a poor call personally. Not good man management imo. Hard to call our shape there. Where's Meite, he was originally supposed to be back for Preston and Ejaria Stoke I though, but neither of them anywhere. I mean Ejarka was "muscle fatigue" ffs wasn't he? Possibl...

Just to confirm. Between 5th November and 2nd December ALL non “Elite” football will be suspended Therefore only Steps 1 and 2 of non league will carry on while step 3 and below will “take a break”. The only exception to this is that the 10 remaining non “Elite” clubs (ie from Step 3 and below) inv...

Really not too sure formation wise but presumably something along the lines of

Rafael
Esteves Morrison Gibson Richards
Rinomhota Laurent
Semedo
Yiadom Puscas
Joao

Another game, and looks like manager trying something different - two up top.

And at least Moore, Meite and Ejaria should be back to try and annoy Bournemouth

As I recall after McGhee left, Reading had a quartet of caretakers for the Wolves game; Jimmy Quinn, Mick Gooding, Ady Williams and Jeff Hopkins.

Out of interest if we have been daft enough to place an 8M release clause in Olise's contract (unlikely I would have thought) does anyone know if the club then HAS to sell the player if another club offers the money and the player wants to go - or could we simply tell them to go away. The point of ...
