Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

This sort of performance is exactly why we'll never mount a serious charge towards the play-offs, for every good performance like Blackpool, there's a Doncaster or a Peterborough. Unless we have a great January window, I think we'll see more of the same for the rest of the season and finish lower m...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

I do find the conclusion that this dreadful performance means Hunt should have stayed/wasn’t to blame an odd take. He basically signed half of this side and we’re trying to recover from the mess he left Still can’t get my head round how bad we were, esp second half. But also just exactly what LR wa...

leon Sounds like it was a good match to miss.

In the cold light of day how bad was it actually?


Just a tiny bit more enjoyable than catching your foreskin in your zipper, but at least it wasn`t cold.


:D :D

And if you missed the Carlisle horror show, this was a pretty good imitation of it.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

I agree with others in that I think that was probably our worst home league performance of the season. We couldn't string more than 5 passes together, we would then go long, bit we don't have the players for the long ball game. We couldn't deal with their press and defensively we were slow and scar...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

Saying that we lost the game in the first five minutes is worrying. We are at home and there is a whole ninety minutes left to turn it around. Playing with inverted wingers results in an inability to stretch teams out wide. When we are facing a team who have the lead, we cannot compress the pitch b...

Re: Record Watch 25/26

I kinda hope they beat 106 just so people stop holding onto it in desperation rather than just accepting Birmingham took it. Does anyone take Birmingham's 111 seriously though? Maybe once the context of how they won the league is lost and only the record remains. Exactly. IIRC neutral pundits have ...

Re: Injury watch 2025/26

Our best run of form/results/entertaining football was that late spell under Selles and seemed to correspond with Elliott getting sustained run in the side. It isn’t a misconception, he really was very good during this period and so were we. However the injury hit him and for one reason or another ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

Thought I'd have a quick look on here to enjoy all of the praise for Kyerewaa for his outstanding performance and attitude. It's a bit muted. Perhaps humble pie isn't to everyone's taste. Weird attitude He was playing shite - but it was clear he could play a bit He now has a couple of good games an...

One for the oldies - shame we didn't get longer to enjoy him before his then big money (£60K then - £881K now) move to Southampton. Tommy Jenkins five goals in just 21 games. Bought from Margate for £500 just 6 months earlier, although we did then have to pay them an appearance bonus of £1,000 after...

Michael Gilkes... Simod Cup final... At Wembley in front of 61,000 fans... Very definitely. That was the number of Reading fans IIRC. He absolutely ripped Luton a new one after we had conceded the first goal and many, including myself, were fearing the worst and a long, miserable afternoon. Bobby C...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

I'm surprised at the negativity here, I actually thought we played quite well. I actually thought we looked a lot better than we had done for a little while. Players getting on the ball and actually driving forwards, instead of just passing it sideways when their path was obstructed by a defender. ...

Thought video match pass wasn't available in the UK


It isn’t, especially at 3pm on a Saturday :roll:


Why do you think the club advertise Nord VPN so prominently on the Royals TV webpage? :lol:

Re: Stadium Matchday Upgrade

PA system was awful today. Waste of money? I don't think it's the sound system. It seems to be the wireless connection between the microphone and the output which is causing all the distortion or someone needs to turn the input gain down. I initially thought it was an issue with DJ Megaparty's micr...

Yeah I have been watching live games on royals tv for ages. I’m telling you, there is no watch live. All I get is “buy video pass”.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

Another poor 1st touch when in on goal. Doyle this time. We are creating opportunities but our first touch at crucial moments is costing us dearly. Only saw the second half, but passing quality and first touch were really poor at times. We frequently played a pass too short putting ourselves in tou...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

I thought we controlled the game, but never really looked particularly dangerous today; Rotherham seemed to be very happy with at least a point. Once again we were saved by a wonder goal. Defensively sound - obviously helps O'Connor and Williams will still be developing their understanding. Noticed...
