I'm not convinced we'll see Paudie this side of Christmas, and even if we do I am not sure he'll be straight into the side anyway. There is no evidence Paudie is out for that long; I was hopeful we'd see him in September. But either way, it seems we have 3 CBs at a high L1 standard which makes a ch...

We're clearly very low on confidence and having brought in so many players, some late in the window, we're again playing catch up trying to get the right XI. Up until about when Bolton scored, I thought we were shit but I'll give the players credit for the way they kept going and got us a very decen...

Very impressed with him last night. He fits in seamlessly and brings a calm to the back line - I'd certainly have him down as our number one centre half from here and Burns or Stickers can fit in nicely alongside him. The one concern about him is lack of pace, but he was only isolated once last nigh...

I was a bit confused as to why he didn't come back on loan and Brighton chose to let him drop down to play in their youth team when they signed him from us. He's certainly a top talent and I think he'll play in the Prem eventually. Having the chance to play lots of games at this level will be good f...

There's got to be loads behind the scenes that we don't really know about, who have been at the club for years and always been reliable. Specific names don't really spring to mind, but I reckon anyone who was there at the start of Covid and still is now, is as much a legend as any player is. Those p...

Hopefully now with a bit more stability in the background, that's something that could change. I'm sure the club has the ability to do a few more features etc. within RoyalsTV with this new matey that's come in.

Norcott has gone on 2 months “youth” loan to Woking. He's older than I realised https://preview.redd.it/either-there-is-an-issue-with-the-way-google-is-pulling-v0-5rc5zo40xbif1.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=017beb2322d97e8d8c36c9f9ad230a3adb54312b Hell of a story for Would I Lie...

I thought it was fantastic last night. Seeing the young lads play without any pressure and lots of freedom was really good. I don't think anyone had a poor game but Ahmed was the real standout. Looks like he's our next breakout star. Also, I think Ryan needs to be starting at left-back from now on. ...

The blurred vision must be concussion-related, and from experience it's really horrible. It's really quite unnerving, even if it's relatively mild. So Wing may be out for a couple of weeks due to the protocols, which I have no issue with although the timing isn't great. Really feel for both Yids and...

When was the last time we loaned a player out, who wasn't a 17 year old 'keeper going into non-league?

To quote my mum, he looks like a nice boy. Good enough for me.

Hendo Yeah, seems like an absolute no-brainer.

Talking of no-brainers, it's a shame that absolute turkey was back on the mic on Saturday. However I fear that with the American influence they probably think he's great.

The Pantone colour code is 'baby shit'.

Yeah I really hope he can get back on track as he has so much quality.

Elliott and Knibbs yet to feature in pre season, hopefully precautionary but these knocks hang about sometimes. Elliott the bigger concern for me. He has so much potential, probably to rival Bindon. I'd love to see him play a starring role, but I'm not convinced he's robust enough. I believe he was...

When he has to show his cards, do you think he sometimes stops mid-way to pull his socks up?

WestYorksRoyal WTF is going on with Kelvin? Still not signed but no sign he's going anywhere else either.

I'd imagine his agent is trying some trickery or something like that. I don't get the impression people are knocking his door down, and I think his development will be better here than elsewhere.

Sounds magical.

Social media is a snapshot of society, and there's plenty of people who like to spout bile knowing the current cultural environment means they're very unlikely to get any real trouble for it. So, although I'd agree that Twitter/FB doesn't necessarily reflect society's views as a whole, but it clearl...

Was referring to the money we might get from the deal. Don't really care about the likes of Chelsea and Man City "cheating" Richer clubs will always find a way to manipulate the system and F all teams like Reading can do about it. Except collect the crumbs that fall from the table. Still ...
