Thought he was brilliant a few seasons ago but this just screams Nabby Sarr at me and I'd much rather we signed younger players with a point to prove that are surplus to requirements elsewhere. I'd completely forgotten about Sarr. He played 24 games for us :shock: I get the sentiment but it's alway...

From Despair To Where?

Sutekh Rather have Warren Mitchell

Rather have Warwick Davis.

Never heard of him but most signings I've never heard of have been successful with us

Some comment from Lincoln fans: https://forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/paudie-oconnor-to-reading.144237/ Feels like Reading would be a weird and underwhelming move for him, especially with Huddersfield and Stockport being closer to where he lives. To get that deal over the line they must be off...

Excellent addition, very happy with this one.

Reading FC are back!

What's good is that we've been linked with a lot of younger players who have potential or hunger to improve. If we sign players like that it suggests we're certainly aiming to build a squad like 2 years ago but hopefully of players we mostly keep together (with the odd big money sale) rather than re...

He'd give us the crunch we need at left back

Good news on Pereira. I hope we don't have a big turnover of players as they often mean a slower start whilst they take time to gel.

Good luck to him at Stevenage, he did a job for us but not a huge miss. He'll get plenty of game time there

I think if we're offered £3m+ we take it. He's a great player with a lot of potential but if it gives us budget to sign 3-4 players to bulken up the squad including a couple of fullbacks and a forward to replace Sam Smith then I'm all for it. As long as he's the only player sold. It's silly money fo...

Mid Sussex Royal I don't like Nathan Jones but Charlton being out of the way probably helps, Orient will lose Kelman and the 2 Spurs guys on loan and possibly someone will come in for Wellens so can't see a major threat from them next season.

Orient will lose Kelman, Agyei and potentially their manager

Delighted for Charlton. Hopefully soon it's our turn to break our playoff duck

Top 6 is a minimum expectation now after Charlton won. Less for a club our size and our facilities in this league is a failure. Full stop.

The main key was to get Dai gone and now with that being done, our future is something to actually look forward too and not dread. However, as others have said and I concur: We need to temper our expectations a bit under this new regime. This season we overperformed a bit and next season is not goi...

Based on what Couhig has said to the media it really feels like everything at the club is at review at the moment but seems to support the academy that we have. So I don't see any immediate changes there. Redwood won't change everything immediately so like others have mentioned I don't expect huge c...

Let's ask this question again at the end of July when we know who's staying and who we've signed

I have no problem paying more for my season ticket. Even if they go up £40-50 for renewals as we had prices frozen for so long. I also expect attendances to rise a bit now Dai has gone, hopefully see 14-15k again most weeks if we start next season well. That'll help boost turnover a bit. We will nee...

Shame I was hoping this thread would reach 500 pages

Being shafted over 3 times by Huddersfield

The big advantage with Category 1 Academies is they can recruit players nationally from U15 provided the Academy player is guaranteed access to a full term education programme. Cat 2 and 3 recruitment has to be local. No idea what local actually means in distance. If it was say 40 mile radius we'd ...
