Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

morganb Who was the last decent striker the Academy produced?


Probably Smith, if you're talking out and out striker.

Ben House has made a fair career out for himself at Lincoln.

Re: Nathan Ferguson

We seem a bit obsessed by ‘loaning players out’. Do L1 clubs really do this a lot? Thinking back a decade or so I can only think of Kelly, Tshbola and Dorsett who ‘benefitted’ from a loan from us anyway and none have exactly pulled up trees as their career has progressed. Loaning Stickland to a L2 ...

Re: Swindon (A) Vertu Trophy Tuesday 2nd September

Season ticket holder for more than 40 years and can`t get a ticket till Wednesday morning when they`ll probably be none left. It's a disgrace. Why are they not opening that uncovered end either?

Re: Club legend.

Anyone who played a decent role in both Championship winning seasons go down as club legends, imo. Both those teams are cemented in immortality.

Re: The Local Journo Thread

Journalists have to demonstrate some professional standards. If Earnshaw acted like Brogue he'd be fired in seconds. Yes you're right as they have to be more careful to maintain a club relationship but they add absolutely nothing. The Tilehurst End have just done a great piece with the new media gu...

The last time the two clubs played each other was Boxing Day 2003 when Reading presented a gutless display and Wimbledon won 3-0 at the Mad Stad.

windermereROYAL Can`t wait for the fallout tonight when our weakened side loses without scoring again.


Could well be a repeat of Millwall a couple of years ago. Struggled at the start of the season, then went to Millwall and won 4-0(?).


It may not have been 4-0, but I’ll take the 8) regardless.

Didn't we sign Wing from Wycombe and he's our best player?

Wycombe also finished 2 places and 9 points ahead of us last season.

Re: Rumour - Dom Ballard

Yeah, if it was a perm signing, would be more onboard with this - feel it would be a bit of a waste of a loan spot.
