Shame. There was a spark about him that I liked. That he could play on the wing as well as fullback gave us options too. I'm not really sure which games - if any - led to him falling out of favour to the degree we'd bin him off, but all the best to him. Will always be remembered for being one of our...

The season got off to a terrible start, but it's looking much better now. There has been a clear improvement under LR, so that's good. Hopefully there's more improvement to come and we get into the play-offs. We just need to dawdle less. When we don't dawdle we seem to play well. We can overthink th...

Disappointing. Exeter quick out the gates to just pressure in an early goal, then sat back tight as fck to keep us from even breaking into the final third. Trouble is, we played into their gameplan by taking our time on the ball. The minute we passed it quicker, we broke their lines and scored. We d...

Hmm. My guess is that Keane is a ‘Stringer’ in a 4-2-3-1, coming inside to join Marriott with Roberts filling the width on the attack (3-2-3-2).

This is the sort of signing I like.

Turning out to be quite a window.

Best game I’ve seen in ages. Shame we didn’t get the result.

New fullbacks look incredible signings.

Snowflake Royal Yiadom needed to win that ball, once he doesn’t Cleary has too much space and pace, he's always beating him. McGoldrick in the right place always.

I think he’s gone to stick his toe in, but caught the ground. Cleary then passes him and poor Yids is tangled in his own feet.

Not as enthusiastic about this one; a loan so not really a building block for the future, but maybe key as a quick fix for this season, which in turn might yield rewards for us in the next. I can see the logic, even if it’s not getting me out of my seat in celebration. Will be interesting to see if ...

I think this is the sort of signing we should expect. Realistically we are in the market for players who haven’t set the world alight at their club of origin, but have the potential to flourish with us. It’s a punt, but I fail to see how league 1 sides can safely afford to bring in guaranteed qualit...

Alol at celebrating the cuisines and culture of Tilehurst and Whitley.

Can’t really think of much he did worthy of any comment beyond having an annoying surname.

Sometimes these things work out, sometimes they don’t, and it’s not always related to the player’s ability.

This might go against the grain, but I’m not convinced Savage is especially progressive in a forward role. He’s got a cracking left foot and his right is serviceable, but his default too often feels sideways or backwards. While he’s capable of a good pass, he can also be wasteful in possession. To ...

Ooer and all that. But I wondered if any brighter spark could elucidate why Savage might be preferred in the AM position over Wing? It’s happened a couple of times now, so it’s obviously something the gaffer wants to try out - we’ve either started with Savage, Wing and Doyle for Fraser to come on fo...

The pronunciation of Reading as 'Red-ing' provides a clue to its Saxon origins. Historians believe its name links to a group or tribe of early Saxons, the Rēadingas in Old English, who settled here in the 500s AD. So, it probably means 'Reada’s people'. It has been suggested the name Reada means ‘t...

Yeah, big fan. Seems to be one of few who came in and hit the ground running.

A good result AND a good performance! I have to say since my whinge after the Peterborough game, the last two games have looked better, regardless of the great results. It really is starting to feel like a team again, and even people stepping off the bench or coming in for injury cover have given br...

Strongly #TeamBrogue for this one. I think you are conflating raising concerns (“X/Y/Z is a bit of a worry”) with ragebait (“See? THIS is clear proof that RC is a monster!!!”). I don’t personally have any problem with the former. I find/found the same things concerning. The latter isn’t something a...

10 points from 4, can't complain though I'm people will find a reason to. Finally looking up instead of down when I look at the table. Stockport is a good opportunity to close the gap on the top 6. Some good January reinforcements and we can have a real good go at crashing the party. I’m not sure w...

Not sure what any of the whinges are about tbh, I found that an enjoyable watch.

Really like Fraser alongside Wing. When Savage came on he apparently played in the hole but I found it difficult to tell. I still long for the day we give Wing a go as AM.

Fwliw, this is my dream midfield 3
