We need a goalkeeper this week.

More than any other position this need addressing. bouzanis is L2 at best, Andreasen is untested really and CBC is Vanarama at best.

Andresson is very much ‘tested’ at this level (Morecambe)

Bouzanis had a decent first team game last season (v ‘Boro),,,and despite the chagrin of today, pulled off a ‘worldie’

But yes, we really need Lumley back

Morecambe are league two, when was Andersson "tested" at our level, not saying that he will never be good enough but with our shit show of a defence we need a better keeper ASAP

Morecambe were L1 when we pimped him out to them my friend, 13 games in L1 there, but don’t worry about it….

Got to play to your audience and finances, and it’s ok to be wrong

We need a lot of things this week. We won't get any of them though.

I'm pretty sure (transfer ban or not) the plan was to go for Bouzanis as our starting keeper regardless.

I'd also argue it's our defence that should take priority if we do manage to bring more bodies in.

Top of the list would actually be a new owner and a plan

Agree a new owner is an absolute must.

Bouzanis or Andresson in L1 will be adequate.

CBC can't go anywhere near men's football for at least a year after dreadful showings against Huddersfield and Swansea.

To be fair, most Reading players over the last 10 years or so should've been nowhere near men's football if dreadful showings against Swansea were the criteria.

What are people judging Andresson not being ready on? We’ve barely seen him play but he’s racked up 50 men’s games

Far bigger concerns than the Gk spot atm. Bouzanis/Andresson should cover it adequately if prob not exceptionally well

Tbf to CBC you could see he had something. He did come out and take a few nice crosses and couldn’t really be blamed for the goals other than the obvious one

Just looked very hesitant. You would think a year in men’s football is needed - even non league - would help him considerably

The biggest on the field issues currently are THE TOTAL INABILITY TO CREATE ANYTHING OR THREATEN ANYONE and the TOTAL INABILITY TO DEFEND AS A UNIT other than that all well and good though!

I honestly can’t see us getting a new owner only a new minority stakeholder who possibly funds the club on a month to month basis. As mad as this sounds I wouldn’t be surprised if Dai still has aspirations of getting to the Premiership and mixing with the elite.

I completely agree about CBC, but as mentioned above we’ve had many players who should have been kept away from the first team over the last ten years.
