Just the kids on Twitter being little entitled football fans - expecting there to be a new signing announcement every day. A bit like a spoilt kid at Christmas, will unwrap one present - throw it to one side and ask where the next one is. If there’s a signing announced today watch that happen… On a ...
Really can't get my head around our fans that celebrate the news of Selles getting sacked. His time with us with the circumstances was nothing short of top drawer, leaving us in a PO position and sacrificing his own wages. For me, it is a shame he never got given time there to succeed and hope he go...
Completely agree with this. If Couhig takes over and saves us then he will have my complete backing - and would hope that would also be the case with other Reading fans regardless of what they think of him, 'beggers can't be choosers' has never been more appropriate when it comes to our situation. U...
I have such a cynical view on all of this now (I know it shouldn't have taken this long). The EFL delaying it again - Positive stance - they can see genuine progress being made Negative (realist) stance - delaying the inevitable, still can't get hold of Dai - by kicking the can down the road it give...

Nights like last night really test your resolve for football - let alone supporting Reading. We showed nothing, no patterns of play, no chances, nothing - and it was incredible we got a point. Three elements of our team get us ticking - 1- Getting Wing on the ball dictating play 2- Getting Kelvin E....
Let the result and performance sink in, for what was a complete waste of a Saturday visiting east London for such an abject performance. One obvious frustration that I haven’t seen picked up is Campbell was at fault for BOTH goals. He needlessly lost possession for the first by not playing the ball ...
Taken a few days to let the performance sink in. Massive overreaction imo. I didn’t see hardly any/ if any differences in that first half performance vs a Selles side in terms of set-up, build up etc. Under Selles we played a lot of those long balls from defenders with the aim to win the second ball...
Dellor said to him something like, but your relationship with Selles is good now? And Holmes largely swerved the question and talked about just being professional and getting on with doing his job. It spoke volumes. My impression was there is no love lost between them and it’s all about being profe...
Obviously not ideal losing players, but elephant in the room, look at the players we have lost in the past during Dai's tenure on a free where we could of got a fee for them (Richards, Swift, Laurent, Joao, Meite). Now I know we are getting minimal fees here (but we obviously need the cash to cover ...
If Georgey Puscas can bang a hattrick at the JJB which turned one of the most drab away days into a frenzy then anything can happen. Also love that it was the ground that Sir Steve refers back to - when we lost last game of season and they went up in 04/05, the catalyst for the 05/06 'bottle this fe...
Funny one with Holmes, after his performance at Port Vale I would have snapped anyone's hands off if they wanted him. He was rightly dropped after that performance then we didn't seem him for a while, all be it we went on a terrible run - he came back in the team and we picked up again. His presenc...

So much hype around this signing, but lets be honest - he has underwhelmed and hasn't earned a starting spot and since he has lost his starting spot we have seen our recent upturn in form. Sideways and backwards passing, Elliot is streets ahead of him currently and he can't get in the team either. ...

Absolute toothless display, like many after the first 10 mins I thought it was just a matter of time. But those ten mins must have gone to the players heads and they were clearly just treating it as a training match thinking it would be a given we would eventually score. We didn't, we got sloppy and...
