Re: Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

What about Rotherham?

Think there and Luton were the two worst places I’ve been with football

Re: Rumour - the Yak back

Despite the goal stats, he did still play a fair bit for Cardiff last year

And it is dropping a division - and imo there’s quite a drop in quality between these divisions

Reckon he’d do a decent job tbh

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

I do vaguely remember a few seasons back a transfer rumour going around and walking to the game the player was front-and-centre in the Megastore window. After the game their picture was gone. We knew they were off... Just can't remember who it was though! Was McIntyre or Holmes I think. Or both Bot...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Given Savage is front and centre of the kit launch I'd be very surprised if the club were involved in negotiations to sell him. I'm not sure I have any concrete examples, but I'm sure that's happened before. Maybe Long? The media people aren't going to be party to transfer discussions. I do vaguely...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

The William Morris shirts are quality. New Reading shirt is good. I understand the "washed out" comments but I think that's only the case because people are used to a history of shirts with bold hoops. Think of it as a white shirt with some adornments.. I also think you need blue shorts t...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Like the fact we are so short of players, we’ve had to draft in Mrs Wing and his kid, as well as a load of randoms for the launch video

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Hendo Really like it - was prepared for something much worse.

Although would say it would be much better with white shorts and white socks.


Think it needs the contrast with the strong blue, would have looked washed out if it was white socks and shorts

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Had to be solid blue shorts and socks otherwise would have over-egged the pattern

I actually much prefer it when I see it alongside the shorts and socks than when I first saw it

Re: Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

Maybe he's realised that the north is a bit grimmer and decided to move down south You genuinely think Lincoln is grimmer than Reading? :lol: :lol: Lincoln is one of the UK's hidden gems. Would happily move there if I could find the right work. The amount of times our fans chant "X is a shit h...

Re: Confimred - Paudie O’Connor

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...

Be a great signing

Few different accounts (one from Wycombe saying he is no longer an option) suggesting it so hopeful

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Top of list would be O’Connor from Lincoln Weirdly checked his wiki page and it says ‘Current club - Reading’ I know that anyone can edit etc so basically meaningless, but still… He is out of contract too, though Lincoln have offered him a new deal. Interesting times. Had a look at wiki and there w...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

A couple of decent ambitious L1 centre backs out of contract aged between 23 and 27 would do for me. Basically Harvey Knibbs at CB

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

I was pretty critical of Meite during his last season with us (not his attitude just clearly the injury took something out of him), but I could see this working out ok I wouldn’t expect miracles from him but he’s a big strong forward player who could put himself about at this level. He’d score goals...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2024/25

Interesting stat I’ve just seen 97% of former cat 1 academy players now aged 21 to 26 never made a Premier League appearance. 70% weren't handed a pro contract at an EPL or EFL club. And only 1 in 10 went on to make more than 20 league appearances in the top four tiers of English football. Yes, it’...
