I find the questioning of how we're winning a bit bizarre. We have the division's joint top scorer, someone who has always had a high goals to minutes ratio and is exceptional at finishing and anticipation. And for all the 'he adds nothing but goals' he's got 3 assists too. We have one of the divisi...

Never in doubt.

Crazy risky sub.

Why? Never that much, 5 tops!

You mean apart from all the subs and a couple of long stops for injury by Pereira that were obviously fake?

The strange thing is, we are always quite positive about our defensive players yet for the leaky defence constantly throwing away multiple goals per game we’d be winning matches with ease. Where do our defensive problems come from? Fullbacks don't cope with pace well. They also don't get enough sup...

Bristol Paul What a diabolical performance. Only one man has turned up for Reading.

Who?

Ward?

How do they constantly have 3/4 men free around our box when we have all 11 players behind the ball?

Got to be better at man for man rather than constantly being 1v2, 2v3, 3v4.

Nice Marriott

Need some smarts here. Can't keep kick and rush forward, need to put a foot on it and kill the tempo of the game.

Not really sure how that's got past Pereira.

Looked like maybe Marriott OG.

Time for the rest of the division to be very afraid. Marriott's first brace of the season. If he starts scoring more than 1 goal in a game his final tally is going to be huge.

Nice

Snowflake Royal Suddenly looking like the phase of the game where we keep conceding possession and come under increasing pressure.

That has been the entire half. Apart from being gifted a goal by Wycombe we have done zilch.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that you you think the entire game has been shit.

Suddenly looking like the phase of the game where we keep conceding possession and come under increasing pressure.

Lane and Doyle looking sharper than normal. Some very nice one and two touch passing. Though Lane has had a couple of unfortunate passes.

Great strength and persistance from Wing and fabulous anticipation and finish from Marriott.

Keeper has to come claim that.

This is not to dismiss the claims of any other clubs currently at L1 level, but.... The financial footprint of Reading FC which requires a net spend of ~£10M per season just to stay afloat means we are too big for L1. .. QED, we're too big for League 1... Or does it just mean we're spending incredi...

Its a good post, and criticisms do need to keep in mind that just because something does appear to be wrong doesn't mean something different will actually improve things. But I do think it is quite possible for reasonably intelligent and engaged fans, with plenty of experience watching professional...

Reading all the Thomas Frank stuff got me thinking (dangerous, I know): The standard response for fans is to blame any poor run of results on the manager. To say that someone else would get the team playing better and improve results. But - as fans are we saying that the 'average' manager would do ...

I think Stickers won't be here next season. Sad for him, but just don't think he's shown he can reach the required standard.

Leam Richardson gives #ReadingFC injury update: • Derrick Williams doing well, probably another 10 days off. • Randell Williams probably a little bit after that, another couple of weeks. • Will Keane still out but not as bad as first thought after a second opinion. No mention of DK Bugger me, the f...
